Matchup Picks - PGA Tour

Tipster: Stanley

Memorial Tournament (1.5pts unless stated):

Stephen Ames to beat Craig Parry -125 @ BetandWin [3pts]
Huge difference in form between these two players. Parry has missed three cuts in his last four starts; Ames has finished no worse than 7th in his last four. He did finish one stroke behind Parry on his debut on this course last year, but will improve now that he has course experience. Parry has missed five of seven cuts on this course so he has a lot of improving to do.

Retief Goosen to beat Kenny Perry -114 @ Centrebet
Perry does have a good record in this event, but he is far from the form that he displayed in the middle of last summer. Goosen can also boast good form at Muirfield Village and while he has also been missing cuts this year, he has been finishing much higher up the leaderboard when he does not.

Zach Johnson to beat John Rollins -111 @ BetandWin
Johnson has a 8-1-0 h2h lead this year over Rollins who has made only two of thirteen cuts. Nothing more needs to be said!

Stephen Leaney to beat Scott McCarron -111 @ BetandWin
Top-35 in his last three starts and on this course last year reads a lot better than McCarron's failure to make the cut in each of his last four events and in each of his last five visits to Muirfield Village.

Nick Price to beat Justin Rose -111 @ BetandWin
This is a shotmaker's course that requires experience and Price certainly fits the bill. He hasn't played here for a number of years, but is in good form and should certainly finish in the top-25. Will be more of a struggle for Rose who is making is debut and was competing in the Volvo PGA Championship last week. Not ideal preparation and his unpredictable form since the Masters is likely to continue this week.

Final update: 3-2-0; +2.63pts

Ames/Parry WON by 18
Goosen/Perry LOST by 3
Johnson/Rollins WON by 2
Leaney/McCarron WON by 2
Price/Rose LOST by 14

Decent profit on the matchups thanks largely to a win on the double-play. Ames contrived to finish outside the top-5, but still kept up his run of great form to win easily against Parry.
