Bets: 4        Wins: 1        Losses: 3        Profit /  Loss: - 6.00pts
 
Matchup bets:
 
Stake 3pts    Craig Stadler to beat Mark James                                 +100 @ BlueSq
I'm assuming that the pricing here is being dictated by James being a Brit. Stadler has the slightly better Champions
Tour record and by far better European record and links record. He should be clear favourite here. 
 
Stake 3pts    Tom Kite to beat D. A. Weibring                                     +100 @ The Greek
Another match up of players of similar ability but previous links records not really being catered for in the prices. Kite
has a far better British and Senior British Open record than Weibring and should not be considered the outsider.  
 
Stake 3pts    Eduardo Romero to beat Tom Watson                             -110 @ BlueSq, Paddy Power, Sporting Odds, Skybet & The Greek
People tend to get misty-eyed when considering Tom Watson playing in a British Open and he did win for us two years
ago in Aberdeen. But the facts are that over the last 12 months he trails Romero 6-2 in h2h's and in the last 10 years in
British Opens or Senior British Opens he trails Romero 7-2 in h2h's. Romero should be clear favourite here.
 
Stake 3pts    Des Smyth to beat Sam Torrance                                      +100 @ Paddy Power
The prices here really don't reflect the poor record that Torrance has on links courses. Although he has performed well
recently after a slow start he has never shwed his true form on links courses and has never managed to finish ahead of
Smyth in this event.
