Finishing Position. Buy FP Anton HAIG 0.5pts @ 55 (Sporting Index)

The wind at strongest when Haig tee's off and his tournament could be over by the end of Thursday. Though his wind game is improving I feel sometimes he still has the lack of patience to handle such conditions. He showed perhaps some form latest when 7th but with 2 missed cuts previously and a lack of course knowledge (although missed cut also in location) I feel we can oppose Haig at this price. MU70 Profit +7.5pts

72 Hole Match Bet. Buy Richard GREEN 0.5pts @ -0.75 v Martin Kaymer (Sporting Index)

Although Green's form is probably only just better than average (a top ten and a couple of top 30s in his last four events) and Kaymer did win on tour two weeks ago, I feel that the conditions here and the course knowledge will be more of an advantage to Green. Match bet h2h over the past year also read 7-2 in Green's favour. Loss -5.375pts

R1 18 Hole Match Bet. Sell Richard Sterne 0.25pts @ 1 v Darren CLARKE (sporting Index)

Sterne in very good form of late, including a win and two top twenty finish, that apart I still have him down as a slowish starter. Dazzler also in good form, although 61st latest a bit disappointing. Opposing Sterne in this R1 matchup at this price given Clarke has won 8 of the 13 times in R1 they have played the same tourney, and also has a 4-0 R1 h2h advantage here too. As playing partners they have played twice together, Clarke on both occasions posting the better score. He is also arguably the better wind player. MU25 Loss -6pts

R1 18 Hole Match Bet. Sell McIlroy 0.25pts @ 4 v Martin ERLANDSSON (Sporting Index)

May seem an odd bet to some, and must admit the price has tempted me. Over the last year R1 h2h show favour to Erlandsson with McIlroy winning just 3 from 9. Erlandsson also beat his opponent on the only occasion they have met here. Mu19 Loss -3.75pts

R1 18 Hole Match Bet. Buy Peter HANSON 0.25pts @ 3 v Kingston (Sporting Index)

Over the past twelve months Hanson has won 9 of the 15 R1 h2h between these two. Course form also shows Hanson with an advantage winning four of the five. They have also played together three times, Hanson winning twice. MU-16 Loss -4pts
