Texas Open

[Stanley]

Adding:

Larry Mize to beat Jay Don Blake -140 @ Camelot
It has been almost 18 months since Blake last recorded a top-5 finish and having missed six of his last eleven cuts, he doesn't look to be one be around at the weekend. Have to side with the outright pick in this matchup

Luke Donald to beat Jeff Quinney -125 @ Camelot [3 units]
Had this matchup at the Air Canada Championship and Donald won on that occasion. If Quinney does make the cut it will be the first time in eight attempts. So far, he hasn't even come close!

Brent Geiberger to beat David Gossett -120 @ VIP Sports
Two top-3 finishes from four starts on this course suggest that Geiberger likes this week's setup. Two missed cuts in his other starts is a cause for concern, but he is playing better than Gossett - 5th in the Air Canada Championship last time out - and has at least made the weekend in this event

Brent Geiberger to beat Brett Quigley -111 @ Simon Bold
Top-10 or bust is the current state of affairs from Quigley. In each top-10 finish he has had a very good 1st or 2nd round, so if he does get a fast start this week he may pose a threat to Geiberger, but otherwise this should be straightforward

 

[AussieVamp2]

as for the pool guys tried to throw it up there early for you - is the format ok, matching a bunch of guys, some with handicaps, and makes sense?

DTB the opening line on Riegger was -200 I was online as these matchups came up so it didnt move to that. I wont be posting any plays this week as all the lines have moved on my bets.

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

Aussie Thats fine.Hope it pans out it seems fun to me.

Thanks Turtle.Iwas curious as to what he'd open him at.It is fun if you catch them dropping the lines down as when I last caught them they would drop about 1 every 2 minutes and it was a trip trying to guess them before they dropped.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Might get some round by round matches in with weather looking good all weekend.The wind has been unusually mild for Texas with 9mph the highest on weather channel last 2 days.

Stan You wouldn't know if there is a late scratch on Herron.I see where they removed his odds in 3ball match?

 

[Stanley]

DTB, he's still down on the PGA Tour lists

Only other player I can see having withdrawn since original list is David Berganio

Just looks like a posting error from Sportingbet, else 5/2 and 15/8 on both sides of a two-ball would make a very nice scalp

Herron is listed at the 3-balls at Ladbrokes & Surrey and they are very quick to pull lines.

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

Thanks Stan Was thinking in line of the scalp and combo possibilities,but have never known SB to make such a flagrant error to our advantage

Made minimum wager on match just to see how they handle it.

Mid-point update:

Half of the eight plays are decided at the cut and only half of them are winners. Dunlap beat Elder by three shots and Geiberger beat Quigley by five. Poor first round left too much to do for Funk and Watts and they both missed the cut. Funk lost to Gossett by four and Watts lost to Nobilo by two. At least none of the four remaining plays are behind. The scores: Edwards/Nobilo 2 up; Mize/Blake all square; Donald/Quinney all square; Geiberger/Gossett 3 up.

In the outrights, Toms missed the cut by a country mile, Mize fell back from a top-10 spot after 18 holes to 33rd after 36, while at least Estes maintained his and is currently 9th. Looks like a decent event, but with the two- and three-unit plays still alive, it could turn sour.

3rd round results 3-2
Parny/C Paulson loss by 3
Williamson/Dawson loss by 1
Waldorf/D Paulson win by 2
Kurcher/Chamblee win by 9
J Smith/Beem win by 4

 

[Ian]

Looking like another bad week - one last ditch attempt - Simon the Bold are still quoting 1/4 4 places on the outrights - 2 players stand out - Estes at 66/1 and Geiberger at 100/1 especially when you look at the players between them and Leonard, shame they don't take place only but still worth a crack

Final update: 5-3-0 and -0.10 units

Won three of the remaining plays, but lost the big play of the week. Donald had an awful weekend and Quinney made his first weekend on Tour to win by nine shots

At least the others won to mean a break-even week on this event: Edwards beat Nobilo by two, Mize beat Blake by five and Geiberger beat Gossett by two.

Update on outright plays: 1-2 and +0.80 units

Bob Estes did just enough to finish 4th and secure a place win for a small profit on the outrights. Mize rediscovered the form of his first round and finished 17th, still higher than a 125/1 shot should finish, while Toms had long since missed the cut.
