PAUL LAWRIE TO BEAT ED MOLINARI AND  SHANE LOWRY

2 points @ 6-4 (Skybet)

Cannot believe Lawrie's final stats for Augusta as he played some of the best short game shots for the first three days. Putted like a dream giving the likes of Westwood a lesson and I have to be with him this week somehow. This 3-way match offers a chance to be with him at a price and with Molinari not finishing off his shots and still having a doubt over a dodgy wrist, this may rest between the two proven wind Links players who are fully fit.  The Scot's form figures of 2/10/8/1 earlier in the year have not been blighted by a 24th in The Masters when he only faded from the top-10 on Sunday and he should have too much weekend know-how for Lowry, who will like conditions but always sees to throw in a bad nine holes.    

PAUL LAWRIE TO BEAT SIMON DYSON

5-points @ 10-11 (Stan James) 

The green-finding Lawrie again for the reasons above against a player who may struggle with lack of distance and who looked to have his new baby on his mind when dropping away at favoured Malaysia. Dyce seems to be finding it hard after a huge 2011 season and their respective fortunes in the first Major suggest there is a league between them at present.
