Ford Championship at Doral


FINAL RESULT: 2 for 4 -4.52pts
Not a good week on the matchups. Scott produced a shocker in his second round, and Choi did the same in his final round, the decision to oppose Poulter was proved correct as he missed the cut, but unfortunately Leonard played even worse. Got it wrong big time with Cabrera though who managed a very decent T10th.

Siding with a number of the outright picks here. Poulter has made a decent start to his stateside career, however he may find it difficult to make the transition to Florida. On previous visits to the state he has missed 2 out of 3 cuts. He also had a long week in the matchplay and may well tire, all of which makes him very opposable here.
Cabrera simply isn't in the same class as Choi, who dominates on the h2h stats. These are very generous odds. Furyk is still struggling to put together a decent tournament since his injury, and while Mike Weir has shown a bit of a revival of late Cink is still in the far better form of the two. I also think Toms may have a negative reaction to his matchplay success.
