WGC--Matchplay

[Stanley]

Semi-Final play (2pts):

Lee Westwood to beat Rory McIlroy -106 @ 5Dimes and Pinnacle [available generally]
McIlroy may have youth on this side - fitness can be an issue in such a long tournament - but he has not shown the same abilities under pressure as Westwood. Westwood has played better players (in terms of both seeding and world rankings) and has played fewer holes than his opponent, plus he has played well throughout the week, whereas McIlroy has been 'improving'. The edge clearly lies with the Englishman who did not struggle when he fell behind for the first time last week.

Hunter Mahan to beat Rory McIlroy +156 @ Pinnacle [available generally]
Let-down is a major factor in the final now that the Sunday play has hosted both the semi-finals and the final. In that respect, Mahan's routine win over Wilson sets him up better for the final than McIlroy who had to respond to being three-down after four holes to Westwood and played some great golf from that point onwards. There is also the added pressure knowing that he will become World #1 for the first time if he wins this match. And there is the fatigue factor now that they will be completing their sixth round in five days. When Mahan was taken to the 17th hole this morning, it was the first time since Wednesday that he has had to play beyond the 15th hole; McIlroy had never finished before the 16th hole this week. Backing the home player at good odds.
