Compaq Classic

Outright plays (1 unit):

Jesper Parnevik to win 33/1 e.w. @ Bet247
Decent course history with top-15 finishes in each of his last three visits and equally impressive form in April - he finished 2nd in the BellSouth Classic and but for a 3rd round 77 would have finished much higher than 28th at the Masters. Parnevik usually plays well after a break and is very capable of winning this week.

Nick Price to win 40/1 e.w. @ Heathorns or Surrey
A model of consistency this year with top-20 finishes in all seven events after he opened his season in the Phoenix Open. He could sneak another top-5 finish this week. He has yet to shoot an over-par round at English Turn in the last three years.

Bob Estes to win 50/1 e.w. @ Tattsbet
An infrequent visitor to English Turn, though he has 8th on his last visit (1998) and 18th before that (1993). Appears at inflated odds because of some indifferent finishes in the last two months, but his problem has been one of inconsistency rather than poor form. He closed well in the WorldCom Classic and could put in a decent performance this week. He is too good a player for these odds.

All three outright selections had been in contention at some stage in the week, but it fell to Price to fall one shot short of the top-5 finish. But that was the week that was.
