72-hole plays:
Mark Calcavecchia to beat Notah Begay -110 @ Olympic
Don't expect to see either of these on the TV too much; but Calc should be able to gain a better mid-table finish than Begay whose form has not been particularly good for some time and has the worst putting stats and almost the worst greens in regulation stats of the field - he shouldn't play well this week
Chris Perry to beat Notah Begay -111 @ Ladbrokes [2 units]
Contrast Begay with Perry who has the 2nd best greens in regulation stats this week and is coming off a 13th place finish last week and was 4th in this event last year, though on a different but equally difficult course
Loren Roberts to beat Notah Begay -115 @ Intertops [2 units]
Excellent form for Roberts coming into this event, he will not win and the course is a little tough on the iron play for his game, but he will surely be on the fringes of a top-10 finish which I am counting on to be plenty enough to beat my go-against for the week
Stewart Cink to beat Chris DiMarco -120 @ Intertops
This line has rightly moved at most other books to create a nice scalp, but Cink is worthy of a unit at this price anyway. He was in great form at the Presidents Cup, as he was in the events running up to that event, and he has played this course more than any other player. A definite top-10 finish for Cink
Hal Sutton to beat Tom Lehman -111 @ Ladbrokes
Sutton won this event on this course in 1998; Lehman was 15th. He has missed a couple of cuts recently, but showed his renewed resolve at the Presidents Cup; Lehman hasn't even been playing enough to miss cuts and was not impressive in the Presidents Cup. I don't expect Lehman to figure at all this week
