B.C. Open

FINAL RESULT: 0-3; -4.50pts

Cejka mc
Rollins 21st
Senden 10th

The rain delay in the final round did us no favours. Senden was 2-under-par through four holes and in 8th place when the siren was sounded. When he returned, he reeled off three successive fives. Had he secured three pars instead, he would have finished just one shot behind Jonathan Byrd for a healthy place win and perhaps the chance of a lot more.

Outright plays (1.5pts):

Alex Cejka to win 16/1 e.w. @ Stan James, UKBetting and Totalbet
Cejka should have at least earned a playoff last year. Not only did he drive into the water hazard on the last hole when tied for the lead, but his par putt to earn the playoff stopped on the very edge of the hole. He is in the form to make amends this year, finishing 7th in his last event, the Booz Allen Classic. He has yet to win on the PGA Tour, but he is a multiple winner on the European Tour and he does give himself chances to win. Hopefully he'll take one this week.

John Rollins to win 25/1 e.w. @ Tote
A very difficult player to predict, but he has won on the PGA Tour (2002 Canadian Open), which puts him in restricted company in this field. With signs of form at the moment - 48th in the U.S. Open and then 17th and 8th in his last two starts - plus a top-10 finish last year, there is every chance that he will be victorious this week, if only he were predictable for once!

John Senden to win 80/1 e.w. @ Coral
Just too good a player to be at this price. True, he has not played this course previously and he has yet to win a PGA Tour event, but he ranks 26th on Tour in total driving and 14th in greens in regulation. He only needs a warm putter to be competitive.
