Further 72-hole plays (1.5pts):

Luke Donald to beat Jonathan Byrd -127 @ Five Dimes
In terms of form, there is no-one in this field to match Donald and he has dominated this match in 2004: Byrd has finished ahead of him just once in twelve common events. A little wary that he may feel some fatigue from playing in Ireland/Scotland in the previous two before flying here, but I think that the adrenalin will keep him going this week as it is his first event back on the PGA Tour after his Ryder Cup success.

Carl Pettersson to beat Hunter Mahan -111 @ Bet365
Two players in very good form, but Pettersson's greater experience has made him the more consistent player. Whereas Pettersson continued his run of top-10 finishes last week, Mahan ended his by almost finishing last. Pettersson has finished ahead of Mahan in 8 of 11 common events since April and being the player with the far better short game, this course should help him extend that h2h lead.

72-hole plays (1.5pts unless stated):

Zach Johnson to beat Jonathan Byrd -110 @ SkyBet [3pts]
A good course history and two good finishes in two weeks makes Byrd a common tip for this title, but so is Johnson and he is much more consistent and that is very important in match bets. Since the Colonial in May (11 common events), Byrd has finished ahead of Johnson only once. They may both finish on the leaderboard, but Johnson should continue to dominate this matchup.

David Toms to beat Jim Furyk +125 @ Pinnacle
Furyk may have finished 11th in one of his favourite events last week, but he still a very long way from being the player that won the U.S. Open last year. Will gladly take this odds on Toms when he has finished ahead of Furyk in all six of their common events this year.

Jay Haas to beat Tim Clark -111 @ William Hill
Another one-sided match if history is any judge. These two have played in the same competition on fourteen occasions this year and Clark has finished ahead of Haas only twice. And there is nothing in either their current or course form to suggest that this week will be dramatically different.
