Sony Open
- Thread starter 6 under

Saw this article on pgatour.com talking about how tough this course is for 1st timers. With that in mind, who is good fade material this week?

I think there are 23 Nationwide graduates making starts this week too.

CH III -125 over Keegan Bradley for tournament.
I think driving accuracy really hurts Keegan here. Plus, his strokes gained putting last week was ranked near the bottom of the field (23rd).
Chad Campbell -110 over Ricky Barnes for tournament
This is just a straight play on past history at the Sony Open, along with a little fade of Barnes.
Steven Ames +100 over DeJonge for tournament
de Jonge missed the cut in 2 of the prior 3 years. Only year he made the cut was with very wet conditions (easier to control the ball). Ames has a decent history at the Sony, albeit only a few recent visits. Ames also a very good wind player should the wind pick up.
That will do it for my tournament plays. I wanted to fade J.J. Killeen but not about to let my money ride on Chopra, and that was his only matchup at my out.

CH3 to win 33-1
I can't help betting on this guy. He's no doubt the best golfer no one has heard of, in the world. He's not a big money maker for me, he just should be. I like Charles, he's fun to listen to and he can get smoking hot pretty easily.
72 holes
Zach over Choi -105
Frazar over Love -105
Both bets for the same reason. A good golfer versus a fading star. Think Ernie Els on these two. No one has made me more cash than betting against Els these past 5 years.

Round 2 play (4pts):
Scott Stallings to beat Harris English -110 @ 5Dimes
Backing Stallings to win this day two matchup. He finished a creditable 22nd in the Hyundai Tournament of Champions on his course debut and so he will have been expected to perform well in his second week in Hawaii - the Greenbrier Classic champion opened with a 3-under-par 67 with just one bogey to lie 17th alongside English who had a more adventurous round: he surged to the top of the leaderboard, but then his attacking style caught up with him on the 14th & 15th where he dropped three shots. He clearly has a very good future in this game, but he learned what the PGA Tour was about yesterday and I think he may find it a little more difficult again on his second day on this Tour.
[unofficial rd2 system plays: Stricker tb Bradley K -165; O'Hair tb Noh -120; Simpson tb Bradley K -120; O'Hair tb Love -118]
