at the cut- 2-2 today 2-3 on week one pending

72 holes
Sutton/Roberts loss
Waldorf/Brooks win
Toms/Franco 3 up
2nd rd matches
Sutton loses to Cink by 1
Roberts defeats Leonard by 1

The best laid plans----
Sutton goes from winning last year to having 9 bogies in 2 days and miss cut.Needed just par to beat Cink today and couldn't get it done.All 3 of this weeks loses have come from him but he has been very good to me this year so no complaints.Can always count on him for his best shot.
Daly makes cut? Lowery in top 25 last 3 here and misses cut?
Was fortunate to win matchup of Roberts/Leonard. Leonard has had 13 birdies in 2 days with none coming on par 5's.Thats strong!
Back to the drawing board.

2nd round update: 1-4-0 and -5.73 units

Geez! Three of four losses by a single shot, including both double-unit plays. Really have to make amends in the 3rd round now! Solitary win was Herron by four over McCarron, with the losses being Austin to Wiebe by one, Cheesman to Goydos by four, Sutton to Cink by one and Toms to Kelly by one.

Better news on the 72-hole plays though. Four were decided at the cut and all were winners: Kaye beat Haas by seven, Lowery beat Haas by four, May beat Triplett by four and Waldorf beat Brooks by eleven. The remaining plays are evenly mixed: Leonard/Franco 7 up; Hart/Lickliter 5 down; May/Kaye all square; Herron/Lickliter 2 down.

Of the outright plays, Sutton is a great disappointment and misses the cut, but Leonard stands 2nd and May 23rd, but only six shots behind the leader. Plenty of chance to make up for a frustrating first two days there.


3rd round plays:

Bill Glasson to beat Rich Beem @ Moneyplays
Tim Herron to beat Dan Forsman -125 @ DAS
Justin Leonard to beat Frank Lickliter -125 @ Moneyplays [3 units] [same odds @ Island Casino, Sportbet & On-Line Casino] * SCALP - Lickliter +135 @ Five Dimes *

Damn Stan Bout posted simultaneously.Maybe it will be good omen.Bet the Glasson match also just didn't use as selection.Lines seemed too generous,didn't they?

Common picks have been a good omen of late. Makes me feel better about this tournament

3rd round update: 1-2-1 and +0.68 units

Not great capping, but can't complain when a profit is still made

Leonard beat Lickliter by five in the banker play, but elsewhere Glasson lost by three to Beem, Herron tied with Forsman for a small loss on the dead heat rule and Toms lost by four to Tryba. The remaining 72-hole are still in the balance with Leonard eleven ahead of Franco, but Hart four behind Lickliter and May one behind Kaye. In the three-unit play, Herron and Lickliter are tied in 5th place on the leaderboard. Looking for another of those famous Sunday collapses from Lickliter!

May lost ground on the race for a place, but Leonard shot 65 to take a two-shot lead over the rest of the field. With the outright selections standing 1st and 2nd on the European Tour, this could be a very good week

 

[Stanley]

One early 4th round play:

David Toms to beat Carlos Franco -115 @ Five Dimes

Franco & Toms teeing off first and looking for Franco to give up in final round again. Back in the morning with the rest.

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

Not much out there and will pass today with two 72 holes pending.

Good luck on your W/EW matches today Stan.
Your sitting pretty sweet.

 

[Stanley]

Adding 72-hole continuation plays:

Steve Lowery to beat Steve Elkington -115 @ Olympic
Tim Herron to beat Dan Forsman -120 @ Olympic
Tim Herron to beat Frank Lickliter -115 @ Olympic

Cheers DTB

Final update: 2-2-0 and -0.35 units for the day; 11-12-3 and -5.25 units for the week

In truth, this week was a bit of a struggle. Had four winners out of four at the cut, but that was only high point in matchup plays. On today's plays, Toms beat Franco by four and Lowery beat Elkington by five, but Herron lost three to Forsman and six to Lickliter. Bad day to pick 'Dumpy' and got burned by Lickliter, his unusually good last round meant five shot defeats for Herron and Hart in the 72-hole plays. The other two were winners though: Leonard beat Franco by seventeen and May beat Kaye by two. Looking for a better week next week.


Update on outright plays: 1-2 and +6.75 units

At last! A winner on the PGA Tour! Have had numerous 2nds and other place finishes, but not a winner. Leonard was simply superb, beating last year's winning score by ten shots and worth the 14/1 shot. Bob May made a belated charge, but finished three shots out of a place win, while Sutton missed the cut a long time ago. Definitely a good week for the outright plays

Had both Westwood and Leonard at Victor Chandler; wish I'd made it a transatlantic double @ 112/1
