Back to the well again. I just think this guy is showing all the signs of a winner, very soon. New course for everyone this week, might as well be my guy.

Marino to win 51.00

72 hole M/U one time baby.

Zach Johnson over Pettersson +100 Zach doesn't like getting embarrassed. He has had his share of problems this year. He doesn't get cut twice in a row, his turn to go low. Pett does poorly in meaningless tournaments, like this week.

Round 1 plays (2pts):

Briny Baird to beat Bubba Watson -116 @ Unibet [also available @ Pinnacle and WSEX]
They're playing on a tight, tree-lined course so I can't see Watson doing particularly well this week, particularly as he has only finished ahead of Baird twice in their last ten common events

J.J. Henry to beat Troy Matteson +100 @ WSEX [also available @ Pinnacle]
Lots of missed cuts between this pair, but I still wouldn't make Matteson the favourite - Baird has beaten him in 12 of 17 common events over the last six months, including 5 of their last 6 common 1st rounds

Brian Gay to beat Eric Axley -110 @ Five Dimes
Their prospective abilities to thrive on this week's course determine this play: Gay ranked 23rd in driving accuracy on Tour this year, whereas the overly-aggressive Axley ranks 184th. Gay has also finished ahead of Axley in 15 of their last 20 events to show this play is not just about accuracy off the tee

Further Round 1 play (2pts):

Brad Elder to beat John Daly -122 @ Unibet
Missed this matchup first time around. What better player to oppose on a tight course than Daly who has missed 11 of his last 12 cuts and gets into this event on a sponsor's exemption. Elder may not be in great form, but he is still playing much better than his opponent against whom he has scored the lower 1st round score in 7 of 8 common events this year

Between Green Bay and Iowa City
Outrights:


Paul Casey(16/1) e.w.
- - From last week (The Oakland Hills "worries" from last week are n/a here):
- - Casey is streaky good, and has been since his college days, and that's been a reliable standard for capping his play when in (and to a lesser extent out of) form. He still hasn't brought the refinement to his shot repertoire and entire game that he's going to need for the long haul, and that worries me some this week, but I like what's at stake with his form where it's at.
Chris DiMarco(50/1) e.w.
- - "Luck is the residue of design" is 'bout what guides my finger to the trigger with this play.

David Duval(300/1) e.w.
- - I'll be on him for his next event, regardless of that price or this result.

Andrew McLardy(200/1) e.w.
- - http://www.news-record.com/content/2008/08/12/article/golfer_andrew_mclardy_comes_home_to_greensboro
Performs well at home in South Africa.

Tim Clark(28/1) e.w.
- - What's his problem (besides chipping :mj07: ), or better yet, what's my problem?


Michelle Wie(50/1) e.w.
- - Far too popular a play for my liking, but without my usual resignation about what that level of support portends.

If you bet Briny just for round 1 bets, you would have to be at worst 13 - 2. Especially in the beginning of the year when he wasn't ranked as high as he is now.

Also should have looked at guys with Carolina roots.. Clark, Petterson, DL3. :shrug:

Round 2 play (2pts):

Corey Pavin to beat Ryan Moore -120 @ Bet365
Big difference in form between these two. Over the last two months, Moore has missed three of five cuts and has a best finish of 58th; Pavin has made all six cuts and has a best finish of 10th. This week's traditional-style course should also favour the Tour veteran

Round 3 play (2pts):

Jeff Gove to beat Danny Lee +110 @ SkyBet
Gove misses a lot of cuts, but he tend to carry over any form in the first two rounds: he has been in the top-20 at the cut 12 times since 2006 and has shot 71 or better in the 3rd round 10 of those 12 times. Lee may be the #1 ranked amateur in the world, but he is a big-hitter and on a course that shouldn't suit, he has not hit as many fairways or greens as Gove so far; this should continue today

Round 4 plays (2pts):

Briny Baird to beat Carl Pettersson +103 @ Five Dimes
Good odds to oppose the leader in the final round. Pettersson has won twice from four attempts on the PGA Tour when leading with one round to play, but on the last occasion (2007 Fry's Electronics Open), he shot 76 on the Sunday

Tim Clark to beat Bob Sowards -143 @ IASbet
A player who has missed five of his last seven cuts and currently lies 220th in the Money List with just the Fall Series events after this week will face enormous pressure to today. The odds are short, but certainly warranted in this final round matchup

Brian Gay to beat Martin Laird -110 @ The Greek
Laird struggled to follow up his opening 63 with a 74 on Friday and should again struggle to follow up yesterday's 64, particularly he has ranks 70th of 78 in greens in regulation so far this week. At 162nd in the Money List, he will face just as much pressure as Sowards to capitalise on this leaderboard position, whereas Gay is assured of at least three events in the Playoffs

Good tourney by Scott. Never thought Laird would finish top 5 or so, and lose. Oh well,
