Matchup plays (1.5pts unless stated):
Kenny Perry to beat Stuart Appleby -114 @ Expekt
Fresher than most players because of his light schedule and still very rarely out of the top-20 when he does play, Perry is a far better player than Appleby most of the time and should be at the moment as Appleby comes into this event with finishes of 68th and mc in his last two starts.

Kenny Perry to beat Chad Campbell -125 @ Centrebet
Campbell is another player out of form and has been that way for five months. He has finished ahead of Perry in only two of their common events in the last four months and looks ready for the season to draw to a close. Can't even see Campbell finishing in the top-half of this leaderboard.
Kenny Perry to beat Mike Weir -115 @ Five Dimes
Weir's form is also rather indifferent. In his last five strokeplay events (since the PGA Championship), he has one runners-up finish, two missed cuts and the other two were also finishes below 40th position. He will need to play a lot better if he is to compete with Perry this week.

Tiger Woods to beat Sergio Garcia -130 @ Olympic [3pts]
Tiger may not be the player that he was, but he is still a far better player than Garcia. He has not won, but he has finished outside the top-10 only twice in the last six months and while Garcia can point to four consecutive top-4 finishes, they have all been in Europe and that bears little relevance for this week. Indeed, there could easily be a reaction to his playoff loss at Valderrama last week. Tiger has finished ahead of Garcia in each of their last four common events on American soil and should be a stronger favourite to extend that run to five.

Zach Johnson to beat Todd Hamilton -110 @ Sportingbet and Sporting Odds
Whereas Johnson has a great deal of experience of winning in Georgia ? he has won four times on the Hooters Tour, twice on the Nationwide Tour and once on the PGA Tour in this State ? Hamilton has played in this State only four times in ten years and struggled each time. He has played only once since September and that was a 1st round exit in the HSBC World Matchplay, so he really does not look like a strong opponent to Johnson this week. He has only finished ahead of him in five of nineteen occasions on the PGA Tour this year; this week it should be five from twenty.
