Michelin Championship

Finishing Positions (0.5pt stakes)

From Shaker:

Sell Kirk Triplett FP at 30 (generally available)
Not always a lot to say about trading the finishing positions, generally it's just that our figures don't agree with the prices provided. In Triplett's case I would have him anything up to 5 pts lower than the 30-33 quote available everywhere except Sporting Index. Has a big preference for easy courses and came back from a break to record a 7th place finish last week, closing with weekend scores of 65 & 66.
Result: MU 50, Loss = 10 pts (Really surprised at this very poor performance)


From Andy:

Buy Hunter Mahan at 32 with IG Sport M/U 50, Profit 9 pts. Profit never in doubt after Mahan took a 9 at a par 3 on Friday.
Going against all known facts here and opposing the new "great hope" of American golf. Top 25 in his last 5 events, 3 of which were Top 5 suggests i am mad to oppose in a weakish field needing north of 32 to succeed but when you put all the facts into the mix 32 is too low by a point or two. His 2004 record previous to this great run is 21 events, one top 20 and 12 missed cuts. He went on this run in August in Reno and stayed on it for 5 weeks without a break. He comes back this week and we will see if the new or old Hunter turns up. At the prices offered i feel value is with the latter even although many people believe he is a good outright selection (Stanley included).
