B.C. Open

Outright plays (1 unit):

Jay Haas to win 22/1 e.w. @ Five Dimes (.5 units to win & .5 units to finish in top-5) or BetInternet
Wouldn't automatically side with a player who failed to qualify for the British Open on Monday, but Jeff Sluman did the same last year and won this event. Haas won this event in 1981 and has a decent chance of repeating that feat. He finished in the top-5 last year and has done so in three of his last five visits to En-Joie, plus he has finished in the top-20 in his last two events, including the U.S. Open. Impressive for this quality of field.

David Peoples to win 35/1 e.w. @ Five Dimes (.5 units to win & .5 units to finish in top-5)
It's been ten years since Peoples won on Tour, but he has shown some good form this season. He finished 2nd in the Memorial Tournament, had a promising first 54 holes last week and hasn't missed the cut in his last six events. A mixed history in this event, but in enough form to challenge this week.

Glen Hnatiuk to win 40/1 e.w. @ Bet365 or Sporting Odds
Yet to win on Tour, but is in enough form to break his duck. He led for three days in the St. Jude Classic before finishing succumbing to the pressure with a final round 77 to finish 14th. It is only his 2nd round over-par in his last six events, in which he has made the cut every time. Suffering with an elbow injury at the moment, but it does not seem to be affecting his game too seriously. Hopeful he can repeat his top-3 finish of two years ago.

Matchup plays (1 unit):

Brett Quigley to beat Paul Gow -125 @ Aces or Carib
Quigley is a course specialist with three top-10 finishes in the last four years. Easy to side with him against a player who will be playing his eighth straight event.

Glen Hnatiuk to beat Pat Perez -110 @ Bet365
He may have finished 2nd in the Buick Classic last month, but in nine events since the beginning of April, Perez has missed the cut six times and finished 50th and 56th on the other two occasions. With no course experience, I can't see him having another one of those career weeks.

Craig Stadler to beat Heath Slocum -133 @ Easybets
Slocum is another player completely out-of-form. He has missed the cut in six of his last eight events, finishing 19th and 73rd on the other two occasions. No course experience, so will side the Walrus whose game has shown some considerable improvement since the Memorial.
