Round 2 plays (4pts):
John Senden to beat Rory Sabbatini -110 @ Pinnacle [also available @ 5Dimes, Stan James, The Greek and Carib]
Backing Senden in this matchup again despite losing by a shot yesterday. He is in much better form having finished 8th in the The Masters and winning the Valspar Championship last month, plus he has five top-50 finishes in six appearances here (including two top-15s), whereas Sabbatini has just one top-50 finish in four previous visits to TPC Louisiana.
Rickie Fowler to beat Billy Horschel -110 @ Stan James
Fowler is another player in good form with 6th in the Houston Open and 5th in The Masters prior to this event and his record here reads 26th-10th-32nd, so it is a surprise to see him in 133rd place after rd1. However, he is still only four shots off the cut line and in four of the last five times that he has been outside the top-100 after rd1, he has shot 70 or better in rd2. Horschel has done it just once in the last five times that he has been outside the top-100 and given the form that he has shown since February, it appears very unlikely that he will do so today.
Rickie Fowler to beat Patrick Reed -115 @ Pinnacle [also available @ 5Dimes and Carib]
Reed, like Fowler and Horschel, starts today's round outside the top-100, but unlike Fowler, he deserves that leaderboard position on the basis of his ball-striking yesterday - he ranks 138th in greens in regulation. He missed the cut last year when failing to break par in any round and since winning the Cadillac Championship, his best finish is 48th. That doesn't point to a strong bounceback today.
