72-hole plays (1.5pts):

Jesper Parnevik to beat Daniel Chopra +110 @ NordicBet
Will take these odds on a player who has a 8-2-0 h2h lead over his opponent in 2004. Parnevik has been playing much better this year, as exemplified by his 22nd place finish in the NEC Invitational two weeks ago. He also has course experience which Chopra does not.

Charles Howell to beat John Daly -110 @ SkyBet
Tipped Howell for the outright market as he is playing well and this can be seen by his head-to-head record against Daly: he has beaten him in each of their last four common events and by an average margin of 12.5 shots! Just too many reasons to oppose the unpredictable Daly in matchups.

Geoff Ogilvy to beat John Daly +100 @ William Hill and Easybets
Unlike Daly, Ogilvy has played on this course and he finished 5th last year. He is playing well, rarely missing a cut and should be a player to back in match bets.

Shigeki Maruyama to beat John Daly -135 @ Carib
Maruyama's form is also solid and whilst he has not been earning the top-10 finishes that he had at the start of the year, he is still playing well enough to have finished ahead of Daly in seven of their last nine common events. He also has course experience, which Daly does not.

Shigeki Maruyama to beat Carlos Franco -108 @ Pinnacle
Franco's form has been sliding since those two weeks in July when he looked like the player who burst onto the PGA Tour scene in 1999. He still trails Maruyama 3-7-0 in their last ten meetings, so I'll side Maruyama who is far more likely to contend in tournament throughout the year, rather than in short bursts.
