Take a look at Tripletts scorecard.One of 2 things has happened either he was struck by lightening and still finishing the round or he saw todays stock market report after bout the 5th hole.

Notes: Showers suppose to hit at about 10am their time.Depends how hard and if wind is involved for any advantage.

Find it amusing that matchups on Tiger vs Woods are slim to none.Believe Loves advantage of 7 wins 4 losses and 3 pushes on matches in common at big odds have the books on their heels.Unfortunately I have not capitalized on any of them.

Weir had 2nd longest srteak of cuts made @ 20 till this course tooks its toll again for 4th straight time.

Update:

Four plays are decided at the cut as two of the three go-againsts don't make it to the weekend. Mike Weir was one of those and it afforded Nick Price a five-shot win. Jose Maria Olzabal was the other and it afforded Stewart Cink a six-shot win, but Fred Couples was one-shot the wrong side of Olazabal. The shock of the day was the collapse of Kirk Triplett who was leading the tournament mid-way through his front-nine and then collapsed completely to a 81 and three-shot loss to Olazabal. So much for this being "the beginning of the regular, and more predictable, section of the season"!

Just two plays remain alive, but they are being frustrated by a better-than-expected performance by Maruyama. He leads Verplank by six and Leonard by five. The outrights look more promising yet again: Love is joint leader after 36 holes, while Price is in 16th place just 3 shots behind, while Verplank may be in 67th place but is only seven shots out of the lead.

3rd round plays:

Doug Barron to beat Emanuele Canonica -135 @ Five Dimes
Chris Perry to beat Brandel Chamblee -110 @ Moneyplays
Stewart Cink to beat Bradley Hughes -130 @ Moneyplays [2 units]
Chris Perry to beat Shigeki Maruyama +100 @ WSEX
Billy Mayfair to beat Jeff Sluman +100 @ Five Dimes
Chris Perry to beat Scott McCarron -145 @ Five Dimes

3rd round update: 4-2-0 and +2.65 units

A satisfying day - and there haven't been that many with the matchups so far this year! Perry missed a six-foot putt on the last, but we were fortunate that it didn't cost anything as Chamblee followed him with a double-bogey to hand Perry a one-shot victory

I think I was owed that one! Perry's two other wins were convincing though: by 3 shots over Maruyama and by 4 shots over McCarron. In the others, Cink beat Hughes by three, but there was a two-shot loss for Mayfair and a four-shot loss for Barron.

Maruyama's difficulties also improved the 72-hole plays. He now has only a two-shot advantage over both Verplank and Leonard which were 3- and 2-unit plays respectively. Need one of those to make this a good week. At least the outrights look good with Love having a 3-shot lead at the top of the leaderboard and Price looking very promising for a place finish given his current 6th place standing. Verplank is will not lose the outright play, but as long as he beats Maruyama ...


Nice pickin' DTB

I certainly need another round tomorrow though with Maruyama being a major problem to this week's profits and Price one out of a place finish. Does look like you're really getting the hang of this strange e/w business! LOL!

Nice job Stan & Dogs....I got screwed on my major play by none other than;
MICHAEL MUEHR 74 63

70

Sandwiches a 63 in between a 74 and 70 to go under the posted 63 1/2...Needed to birdie 17 & 18 on fri.to get to 63. Still think I had the right side, especially with the weather, but flukes happen.

Still alive with a small win play on Davis@ 12-1...Still adding to my masters play on Love as long as some places insist on leaving him at 20-1.(wsex.com)World Sports Exchange. I'm sure, come masters time, we'll see 10-1 or less, so win or lose I see VALUE!

IMHO

Good Luck Today if they tee it up!!!

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

Simon Nice heads up on Masters.Thanks

After reviewing other outs they ranged from 14/1 to as low as 10/1 at $plays.Will use Olys place only at that time to create my own E/W.

Very bad beat on the 63 1/2.It was great bet regardless.

Final update: 2-2-1 and -0.25 units for the day; 9-7-1 and +2.97 units for the week

All five matches were pretty close, so a break-even day was justified. The results: Pavin/Barlow 1 down; Lancaster/Berganio all square; Perry/Chalmers 1 up; Perry/Cink 2 up; Leonard/Lowery 2 down. The 72-hole plays improved with Maruyama shooting 75. It meant that Verplank could record a three-shot win, but Leonard still finished three shots behind the 'Smiling Assassin'.

Update on outright plays: 0-3 and -3.00 units

The old frustrating Love reappeared this afternoon as he threw away three shots on the 15th & 16th when in the lead. Another dropped shot on the last and he finished in 8th place, two shots out of the six-man playoff. Price couldn't buy a birdie and slipped to 20th, while Verplank's final day move was enough to only gain 33rd place.

PGA Tour ytd:

remain 72 holes split
Leonard/Maruyama loss
Geiberger/Lowery win
Matches for week go 9-6 ytd 40-38

3ball combo for week -3 units ytd +10.75
Decent effort on week going 7-5 on matches,

Outrights -7 before week may have got close to even.Managed to get a couple in there with Tway and Sluman,don't know return yet but won't be that good consider dead heat but was exciting to watch.Will update next tourny.

Tripletts collapse kept decent week from being really good week.He and Leonard were major disappointments.

P.S. Tigers lost his $hit

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

outright update netted 7.2 units for week with 2nd place from Sluman @ 28/1 and 2nd place Tway @80/1 for 1/2 unit each.
ytd +.2 units
============================================
recalculation only shows 3.7 profit for week
so ytd adjustment is -3.3 units
