Wachovia Championship

FINAL RESULT: 0-2; -3.00pts

Scott 16th
Weir mc

Struggling at the moment with this Tour. Scott had a good chance to make up for his opening 76, but was always going backwards in the final round.

Outright plays (total stake per play: 1.5pts)

Adam Scott to win 25/1 e.w. @ Stan James
No course form, but with Quail Hollow having only hosted this event for the last two years, virtually all of the field are still learning this course. Naturally, the big three are dominating the market, but very rarely have they all played together and dominated the leaderboard. That makes Scott very good odds at 25/1, particularly as he is the next best-ranked player in this field in the World Rankings (6th) and is fresh off a very impressive wire-to-wire victory in the Johnnie Walker Classic two weeks and was also a winner in the Nissan Open in February on this Tour.

Mike Weir to win 40/1 e.w. available generally
Weir is not too far back in the World Rankings (12th) and was the defending champion at the Nissan Open when Scott when in February. With three wins in 2003, including the Masters, when he was a contender for the Player of the Year until the very end, he is tends to convert his chances more often that his counterparts. After a poor start to the year, though it included a runners-up spot at Pebble Beach, his form has been much better recently with 17th in the Players Championship and 5th in the Masters being his last two starts. And while his finishes of 18th and 21st on this course are solid rather than noteworthy, it should be remembered that it was his first event after winning the Masters in 2003 and it was only one bad round that took him out of contention last year.
