Hey guys,
Taking Henley +115 over Donald for the tournament. I just noticed that someone else is on it, good luck to us. Course history and recent form both favor Russ, plus Luke is in the middle of a swing change.
To the young bucks, who don't remember me, sit back and enjoy the money.. :0008 Expect greatness.

Only the second week of the season, and I can't believe I was too occupied to finish any timely capping on Abu Dhabi.

Round 1 plays (2pts):
Steven Bowditch to beat Derek Fathauer -125 @ 5Dimes
This is the first Tour event for two months for Fathauer and on a course on which he is 1-for-1 in missed cuts. That is in stark contrast to Bowditch who played in events on the Australasian Tour in November and December, finished 22nd last week and has made his last three cuts in this event. That should be a significant advantage at this stage of the season.
David Hearn to beat Paul Casey -111 @ Bet365
Casey is another making his year debut after a prolonged break - his last event was in the CIMB Classic, which finished on 2nd November 2014 - and a 1-for-1 record in missed cuts on this course. The similarities continue with the first matchup in that the selection has made his last three cuts in this event, but then the similarities end: Hearn hasn't played since the OHL Classic in mid-November. However, he did close out 2014 in very good form, finishing 7th, 14th and 16th in his last three starts so at least the confidence should carry over to this event.

what's up On The Links crew? or as they say in New Orleans, where y'at?
hoping to get off to a much better start to the golf season this year, was way way down at some point ly before finishing strong - for today, playing:
Todd -120 vs Woodland
Like that Brendon played lw and also like the 2 top 20's he's posted here in the past few years - Woodland's previous 2 starts at The Sony ended up in MC's and it looks like he's avoided this tourney for much of his young career
As always, good luck no matter which golfers you choose

for round 2, going right back to the well:
Todd -125 vs Woodland
1 stroke win by Brendon in round 1 but think the margin is a little bit misleading - Todd started out on hole #10, the easiest non-Par5 on the course playing a shade over 350 yards, and somehow proceeded to make a horrible double bogey - it took him a little while to right the ship but once he did he made a bunch of solid pars and threw in a few nice birdies
Todd was better in pretty much all phases on day 1, hitting more fairways and greens than Woodland and he also putted better (according to the numbers at least) - we know that Todd definitely has the better short game so if things don't change in rather drastic fashion today I look for a wider gap between the 2 players after the second round
As always, good luck

Round 2 plays (2pts):
Francesco Molinari to beat Paul Casey +138 @ SkyBet
It has been almost four years since Casey last led a Tour event after rd1 (2011 Transitions Championship) and on that occasion he finished 37th. In fact, he is 0-for-7 since 2006 and that isn't just in terms of winning the event from a rd1 leading position, but he is also 0-for-7 over that period in terms of retaining his lead into rd2 as he failed to break 70 in any of those seven occasions. Molinari ranked in the top-5 for both driving accuracy and greens in regulation yesterday, so he looks very capable of improving on his current 23rd place postion.
Scott Piercy to beat Camilo Villegas +100 @ Bet365
Opposing Villegas who is 3rd after rd1, but has shown little indication that he can repeat yesterday's scoring. He finished ahead of only two players last week and ranked outside the top-100 in both driving distance and driving accuracy, so needs excellent recovery skills to post his rd1 score. Such a task will be much easier for Piercy who rannked 2nd in greens in regulation yesterday and does have three top-25 finishes in his last five visits to Waialae GC (Villegas finished finished 46th-mc).
Rory Sabbatini to beat Camilo Villegas +100 @ Paddy Power
A regular here since 1999 with a couple of 2nd place finishes, Sabbatini looks to be capable of building on his current 5th place position. As such, he looks a good player with which to oppose Villegas at underdog odds.

Sony Open - 2nd Round 3 Balls - Taylor / Sabbatini / Singh
(4691) Rory Sabbatini +110 Jan 16/15@05:40p
Hes driving the ball much better and more importantly had one bogey yesterday while the other two just not playing very well. As Stanley said he is a good overall player and I believe hes superior to these two this week.

Round 3 plays (2pts):
Daniel Summerhays to beat Paul Casey +113 @ Pinnacle [also availale @ 5Dimes, The Greek and Carib]
Opposing Casey again after he struggled yesterday, particularly on the back-nine. Summerhays has made his 11th consecutive cut on the PGA Tour and is now in the top-10 in this category on the PGA Tour, so he has been playing consistently well and should be able to take advantage of any troubles for Casey today.
Hyung-Sung Kim to beat Nick Taylor +100 @ Paddy Power
A basement matchup, but happy to take plus-odds against Taylor who was a surprise winner of the Sanderson Farms Championship and struggled to finish 29th of 34 last week. Kim had three top-20 finishes on the Japan Tour before the Christmas break, so he looks more than capable of beating Taylor.
Gary Woodland to beat Charles Howell +100 @ Bet365
Howell has an excellent record on this course, but he has not looked like a course specialist so far this week. Woodland has a poor record on this course, but he has hit his drives further and straighter and hit more greens in regulation so far this week, so without any evidence of a course advantage to Howell, Woodland should always be the favourite in this matchup.
