Lmao at me betting on these old farts.. but here goes.

Crenshaw -125 over Pate (Tourney)

Ben has been in Hawaii for a while having played in the Skins game last week. Here is why I am making this bet.
Turtle Bay champion Jerry Pate, who a year ago said he was pain free in his shoulder for the first time in years, went back under the knife last summer on his left shoulder and knee, and will decide tomorrow whether he will be a part of this elite 34-man field. He hasn't played since May.

We have a player who is undecided, who last played competitively in May where he shot 84 and WD.

I also saw this on Tom Watson..
Legendary Tom Watson is teeing it up for only the second time since August. He had left hip replacement surgery in October and will make his first start in a full-field event since the Walmart First Tee Open. He did take part in last week's Wendy's Champions Skins Game on Maui. He and Jack Nicklaus were teammates, but they didn't win a skin.

Still, Watson was upbeat yesterday after playing in the Pro-Am and announced himself fit for duty.

"I'm still hitting some scruffy shots because I haven't played that much competitive golf," Watson said. "But I'm here in Hawaii in a place all of us love to be. This is such a beautiful golf course, it's hard to feel bad when you're here.

"As for my hip surgery, it was more of a life decision than a golf decision. We don't really know how it's going to affect my golf game. That's something we'll just have to wait and see whether it really affects my swing plane. I'm excited to be back on a golf course. That much I can tell you."

I really don't like the Bob Hope format for wagering purposes, so here are my picks for this week at the Champions Tour in Hawaii:

H2H
B. Crenshaw over J. Pate (Tournament) - -128 - Laying 1.28 units to win 1 unit - Following Derrick's recommendation

M. Reid over B. Wadkins (Tournament) - +103 Laying 1 unit to win 1.03 units

Outrights

M Weibe - +3000 - Laying .5 units to win 15 units, going with Shaun on T.T's

J. Haas - +600 - Laying .5 units to win 3 units

B. Bryant - +1600 - Laying .5 units to win 8 units

Good luck to all this weekend.

I hope it hits. My %'s have steadily declined then flat lined the past 3 years. Probably from 65% to 55.7% to around 58%. The weird thing is I put in more time now researching than I ever did in years past. The books have just gotten that much better. The lines are so tight, you have to find new angles. It's frustrating, yet the challenge is fun.
I rely a lot now on injury fades, like Mike Campbell, and try to go bigger on those to counteract the course form, recent form fades.. lets hope Pate is rusty, its difficult finding much info on these events.
G luck to us :toast:

Round 1 play (1pt):

Eduardo Romero to beat Jeff Sluman -120 @ Five Dimes
Romero had the lowest 1st round average on Tour last year by quite a margin (68.81 vs Jay Haas' 69.10 in 2nd place) and in terms of the 1st round head-to-head record with Sluman it was 9-4-1 in Romero's favour last year, averaging almost two shots lower in those common events. Having been at home in Argentina over the off-season, he will have had plenty of time to practice and should start well this week.
