0-3; -6.80pts 

Round 1 play (2pts):

Thomas Levet to beat Soren Kjeldsen -105 @ Five Dimes  LOST by 4
Looking to oppose players who struggled around Oakland Hills last week and Kjeldsen fits the bill. Levet's form may not be much better than his opponent's, but he does tend to start tournament strongly: he ranks 3rd in 1st round scoring in Europe over the last 12 months

 

Round 2 play (2pts):

Jamie Donaldson to beat Paul Broadhurst -105 @ Five Dimes  TIED
Broadhurst has been struggling with his game, missing four of his last six cuts and without top-10 finish for a year, so it is rather surprising to see him in 4th place after round 1. However, he ranked 106th in driving accuracy and 110th in greens in regulation on the day, so he is clearly not striking the ball any better and tomorrow he shouldn't have another 14 one-putt greens

 

Round 3 play (2pts):

Jesper Parnevikt to beat Graeme Storm -110 @ Bet365  [also available @ Five Dimes]  TIED  * another tie from a dominant position ... yesterday it was 3 ahead with six to play, today it was 3 ahead with two to play! *
Five Dimes have Parnevik a strong favourite in this match and I agree. His best finish this year on the PGA Tour is 12th, but it is a different matter when on home soil. He has played in this event every year since 1991 and made the cut every time since 1993. So with his game rejuvenated and with large, vocal support, I'd expect Parnevik to shoot another sub-70 score today

 

Round 4 plays (2pts):

Peter Hanson to beat Pelle Edberg -110 @ SkyBet  LOST by 1
Everyone else is -125 or lower on Hanson, so these odds may not stay very long. This is basically a play against Edberg who is currently 2nd, but has never been in the top-5 with one round to play on Tour so this will be certainly be a pressure situation for him. He has been 6th with round to play (2008 Open de Andalucia), but shot 76 in the final round to finish 19th and he has been 7th twice with one round to play (2005 Malaysian and Irish Opens), but shot 73 and 76 to finish 14th and 26th respectively. Hanson has a 2-for-2 record when leading with one round to play so warrants the odds-on favouritism

Chris Wood to beat Pelle Edberg -125 @ Five Dimes  LOST by 2
Wood impressed to finish 5th at the British Open and has done so again in his next Tour event to lie in 9th place. I can't see himany reason why he wouldn't finish the final in the top-10 and that is not certain with Edberg
