Pre Round One Trades

Buy Woody Austin FP at 38 with IG Sport for 0.5 Pts M/U 50, Profit 6 Pts
Woody plods on in this tour throwing in a few good weeks over the season but generally he makes up at 50 more often than not. 60% of his events this year have finished in 50 M/U's with only 3 starts finishing in banking serious money from a Top 10 place. Two of those three have come in the last 3 events he has played but then this could be a seasonal thing. In 04' Woody had two Top 10's in August so he may come to the fore in late summer. Even allowing for this late season improvement 38 is a worthy price to trade at.

Buy Steve Lowery FP at 39 with IG Sport for 0.5 Pts M/U 9.5, Loss 14.5 Pts
Lowery's maximum M/U record is worse at 20 from 28 this year with only 4 Top 20's posted. Like Austin his best return of the year was at the Texas Open but even although that was only a few weeks ago he has no record this year of keeping up a good run as every one of those Top 20's was followed by a 50 M/U except that Texas event which was near enough, as he was Tied 41st two weeks ago in Greensboro.

Buy John Daly FP at 36 with IG Sport for 0.5 Pts M/U 20, Loss 8 Pts
As the tipster at sportinglife.com points out, what's the appeal this week for the likes of Daly, 6 hour rounds of golf with rich businessmen or Vegas and all its sins. Couple that with a huge letdown from being a short priced favourite to win last weeks WGC event only to blow it with a missed 3 footer to take his play off further and then mix that up with his strokeplay record on this tour this year (16 50 M/U's from 17 full field events) and you have a fair bet at 36.
