72-hole plays (1.5pts unless stated):
Stephen Ames to beat K.J. Choi +110 @
William Hill
and
Easybets
[3pts]
There was enough evidence from Ames' golf last week to suggest that he
is slowly returning to the form that he showed in the first half of this
year. The same cannot be said for Choi who may have three top-10
finishes in his last eight starts, but also five finishes outside the
top-50. Ames has finished ahead of him in each of their last two common
events and on the two occasions that they have both played in this
event. On that basis, I'll take these odds.

Kenny Perry to beat K.J. Choi +100 @
Pinnacle
Perry hasn't really lost any form, he has simply returned to his old
ways of not playing very much and, probably as a consequence, being a
solid top-20 finisher than the multi-event winner that he was last year.
He has finished ahead of Choi in three of their last four common events
and on the two occasions that they have both played in this event. He
should not be the underdog in this match.

Jay Haas to beat Mark Calcavecchia -115 @
Olympic
And Haas is rightly not. Calc did finish in the top-10 last week, but
that was the first time in over six months. Have to side with the player
who leads 7-4-1 h2h in 2004.
Mark Hensby to beat Carl Pettersson +110 @
Olympic
Siding with the outright selection, though I wouldn't go much lower than
the +110 currently on offer against Pettersson. The Swede has recorded
three top-10 finishes in his last four events, but these have been in
weaker events than those entered by Hensby who has three top-11 finishes
in his last four events. Hensby also has a 9-6-1 h2h lead over his
opponent so there is certainly value at these odds.
