European Tour

Tournament Trade (2 pts):

Damien McGrane to beat Kenneth Ferrie -111 @ William Hill & Easybets
Just the one for me in this poor event. McGrane is a player you have to keep your eye on as he is progressing well on the main tour, and his current run of finishes is 17th/MC/17th/9th. This compares favourably to those of Ferrie, who looks to be settling down firmly in the 'journeyman' category after his maiden win, and not a very good one at that. Ferrie has yet to beat 25th in 8 attempts this year, and it's not only this season where McGrane is outperforming him; he has finished in front on 9 of 11 occasions they have played in the same tournament in the past 12 months. Looks an excellent price.

Final Result: 0-1; -2.22 pts

McGrane/Ferrie LOST by 9

One of those where the call was doubly wrong.
