5-0; +10.00pts 

Round 1 plays (2pts):

Stephen Gallacher to beat Richard Finch -115 @ Five Dimes  WON by 2
A runner-up on this course when last used in 2004 and has finished ahead of Finch in each of their last three tournaments; that should be enough to warrant favouritism for the Scot in this match

Miguel Angel Jimenez to beat Johan Edfors -115 @ Five Dimes  [also available at Bet365]  WON by 6
Edfors may have the better form heading into this event, but backed by a home crowd and greatly advantaged by a course that heavily penalised errant drives, Jimenez looks the better player this week

Mark Foster to beat Mattias Eliasson -115 @ Five Dimes  WON by 15
Foster's form is very poor this year, but he has at least been starting events well - he ranks 5th in 1st round scoring average in European events this year - that is common with Foster: he ranks over 100 places better and almost 1.4 shots better than Eliasson in this category over the last 12 months

 

Round 2 plays (2pts):

Miguel Angel Jimenez to beat Johan Edfors -120 @ Five Dimes  WON by 7
Opposing Edfors who is not good at rebouncing from a poor 1st round: he has been outside the top-100 after the 1st round 23 times on Tour, breaking 70 in the 2nd round just once and averaging 73.52

Jose Manuel Lara to beat Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano -110 @ Five Dimes  WON by 4
Opposing GFC whose errant driving caused his difficulties on this penalising course today. I can't see him being straight enough off the tee tomorrow to get back under the cut line

 

No Round 3/4 plays.
