Shell Houston Open

[Stanley]

Round 2 play (2pts):

Robert Allenby to beat Vaughn Taylor -145 @ 5Dimes
Apart from last week when I backed him in the first round, Allenby has been his usual mark of consistency - though he did follow his opening 79 with rounds of 69, 71 and 70 to finish 38th. It was hte first time in four strokeplay events that he has not finished in the top-25, but 25th marked the best finish of Taylor's seven-event season so far. So, it is no surprise that Allenby dominates te head-to-head stats: he has finished ahead of Taylor in six of their last seven common events and in the second round, he holds an emphatic 14-2-1 h2h lead since the start of last season. The odds may be short, but the Australian's dominance of this matchup is clear.

At least Allenby was always going to be true to character and frustrate the punter ... In this case, it was me. Good call :toast:

Round 3 play (2pts):

Steve Stricker to beat Lee Westwood -110 @ Paddy Power
Westwood may have ended 2010 at the #1 in the World Rankings, but not only has he now lost that position, he has not looked like the player who ended the 2010 season. In six starts in 2011, his best finish is 15th and, currently in 21st place, he looks unlikely to beat that mark this week. Averaging 71.50 so far this season, he certainly remains a player to oppose for now.

Round 4 play (2pts):

Hunter Mahan to beat Padraig Harrington -110 @ William Hill
A poor end to his round and three bogeys in his last three holes saw Harrington drop back from being right in contention for this event to four shots back of Mickelson and Verplank. As a player who has struggled over the last five months and who, in his only good (Cadillac Championship) event in that period, also started the final round in the top-10 but shot 73, it is difficult to see how he will be rebound from this back and get back into contention. There are no such concerns over Mahan who already has four top-10 finishes this year and has finishes of 5th, 6th and 11th in the last five years here.
