Matchup Picks - Australasian Tour

Tipster: Stanley

MasterCard Masters

FINAL RESULT: 2-4-1; -7.40pts

Allan/Moseley LOST by 11
Allenby/Scott TIED (Push)
Lonard/Scott WON by 3
Coles/Gow WON by 1
Conran/Gow LOST by 5
Conran/Sheehan LOST by 5
Senden/Senior LOST by 2

Senden loses to Senior again and Allenby has three bogeys in the last four holes to snatch a tie from victory. But can't complain about luck after Green's win and if both matches had won, it would have a very small profit on the plays - not good enough.

 

Matchup plays (1.5pts unless stated):

Steve Allan to beat Jarrod Moseley -120 @ Centrebet [3pts]
Two players clearly struggling with confidence, but I'll side with Allan. He's missed two cuts on the bounce, but at least had shown good form on the PGA Tour beforehand. Moseley, on the other hand, has missed nine of his last twelve cuts, so this should be decided before the weekend.

Robert Allenby to beat Adam Scott +105 @ Olympic [3pts]
A logical play from what was written in the outright preview. Just can't believe that Allenby is odds-against in this match!
(available generally)

Peter Lonard to beat Adam Scott -113 @ Pinnacle [3pts]
The Tour's hottest player against one who is facing a lot of public criticism and which probably caused his missed cut last week. Lonard should continue his great form around this course; Scott will be wanting the season to end and the controversy to die away.

Gavin Coles to beat Paul Gow -111 @ Paddy Power and SIA
Two players who have been concentrating on the Nationwide Tour this season, but it is Coles who has been playing the better golf recently. Gow has yet to finish ahead of him in any of their last five common events.

Steve Conran to beat Paul Gow -110 @ SkyBet [3pts]
Also opposing Gow with Conran who has had a great season on the Japan Tour, particularly since his win in August. A top-15 in the Australian Open two weeks ago before returning for the Nippon Series JT Cup and and two top-15 finishes in his last two visits to Huntingdale are enough indication that the leaderboard should again feature Conran.

Steve Conran to beat Paul Sheehan -111 @ William Hill
Sheehan did win the event in Japan last week, but his form has been nowhere near as good as Conran in the last few months. It was the first time in their last seven common events that Conran had failed to finish ahead of him. Can't see it happening for two weeks in a row.

John Senden to beat Peter Senior -111 @ William Hill [3pts]
A repeat of last week's most frustrating matchup when a bogey on the last hole meant that Senden tied with Senior and that meant a loss on the triple-play. A rather costly bogey! Okay, the same reasons why this was a selection last week still apply this week and Senior's course form is not as impressive with Senden finishing ahead of him in two of the last three years here. This should go some way to making amends for last week!
