Summary: 2 losses, -16.2 Pts
Bet 1 - Buy Prayad Marksaeng over Juvic
Pagunsan 18H R1 MB at 3 with IG Sport for 0.3 Pts. M/U -19, Loss
6.6 Pts
Last week's winner of the "Indonesian President Invitational",
Pagunsan plays again this week against a more well known name to
us in Marksaeng. This isn't though a case of underestimating the
less well known player because this win has came right out of
the blue. In 2007, Pagunsan up til now has had a 20th place in
Brunei, and a 25th in Indonesia as the only top 30's in 17
starts. In H2H's over 2 years, Marksaeng leads 10-1 in events
won. Their course form does show preference for Pagunsan with
Marksaeng finishing 35th and missing a cut compared to 25th for
Pagunsan. However, all other stats suggest Marksaeng should be a
heavier favourite.
Bet 2 - Buy Nick O'Hern over Tetsuji Hiratsuka 18H R1 MB at 4
with IG Sport for 0.3 Pts. M/U -28, Loss 9.6 Pts
Hiratsuka generally plays on his own Japanese tour, without
great success, it has to be said. He is pitched in this event,
against a Top 40 player (he is 161 in the world) and where
O'Hern has finished 8th and 19th over the two years of this
course's involvement with this event. O'Hern is surely deserving
of a bigger quote than 1-4 |
