Round 3 play (4pts):
Jimmy Walker to beat Harris English +100 @ Paddy Power
Opposing English who's 67 lifted him to 4th place yesterday, just one shot behind the leaders. Making his debut at Sawgrass, this is an impressive effort, but the pressure really begins at the weekend I would rather back someone who is just off the pace (Walker is 17th) rather than someone at the top of the leaderboard, particularly over the final few holes as Martin Laird demonstrated yesterday. Twice already this year, English has been inside the top-5 when entering the weekend and then shot 73 on the Saturday; once this year, he has entered the final round in the top-5 and then shot 77 in the final round. Any nerves will be severely punished by this course. Walker is a typical 'under-the-radar' player who has already amassed three top-10 finishes this year and finished 26th this years ago.

Round 4 play (4pts):
Phil Mickelson to beat Martin Kaymer -120 @ WSEX [available generally]
Looking for Mickelson to have another final round charge when in Sunday contention. Admittedly, he is eight shots off the lead, but he was six shots off the lead at the AT& Pebble Beach Pro-Am and won by two. He was a previous champion there, just as he is here, and he clearly has a lot of confidence in his game, as shown in his interviews. After a scruffy start yesterday, he was 4-under-par for the rest of the round, didn't miss a green in regulation on the back nine and would have been closer to the Kevin Na, but for missing from 8 feet and 6 feet for birdies on 15 and 17. He should be too far back to win, but on this course, he still has a chance.

I took kuchar +550 before rd 3. The pairing with na scares me. Have to think all the pre-swing stuff has to be a distraction, especially with so much on the line. Here's to Kuch doing his thing today:toast:
I didn't like Kuchar's 3 bogeys on the back side yesterday.
Of course, he had 6 birdies last 11 holes so who knows? A little erratic?
The kid is hitting the greens.
Good luck.

Fowler should obviously have the edge over kuch in terms of pairing. I wanted to back Johnson today, but Curtis' numbers were too much to overlook. Good luck.
