Bets: 3     Wins: 1     Losses: 2     Profit/Loss = -1.68 pts

 

 

Matchup bets: (Total Stake: 2pts)

 

Aaron Oberholser to beat Rory Sabbatini                       -110Victor Chandler  

At these odds this would normally have been a 3pt bet but we have to factor in the potentially fragile mental state

of Oberholser. If Oberholser can forget about the last 20 holes of last weeks Players Tournament, which he managed

to complete in 14 over par, then he has a great opportunity here. Sabbatini has been in fine form so far this season

and he is the current leading money winner on the tour, but Oberholser has had exactly the same schedule as

Sabbatini so far this season and leads 5-2 in h2h's. Oberholser also has decent course form here with previous finishes

of 20th and 6th. Sabbatini on the other hand has a pretty woeful record of 03/mc/mc/mc/56/mc.

 

Brandt Jobe to beat Stewart Cink                                     +118Pinnacle  

I fancy Jobe to do well this week and this looks a good oppotunity to cash in via a matchup. Cink has very good

previous form here with six top ten finishes but Jobe has shown he can handle this course too with finishes of

22/11/mc/28/02. Jobe defeated Cink by 9-6 last season so has the class to win and he is showing excellent

consistency. He will enjoy the move back to bentgrass greens where his record is far superior to his bermuda form

and coupled with Cink having missed the cut in his last two appearances this price is on the large side.

 

 

Matchup bets: (Total Stake: 1.5pts)

 

Lee Janzen to beat Billy Andrade                                     -110 @ 5Dimes

Admittedly neither player is one to wager too heavily on but it is difficult to see what Andrade has done to deserve

favouritism here. Janzen's record in this tournament is quite decent 02/14/mc/mc/13/06/mc for a player of his ability.

It's certainly better than Andrade's 67/65/23/mc/54/58/13/mc/mc. As for current form, Janzen has come up against 

Andrade in each of his starts this season and has defeated him in five out of six starts. Reduced stakes because of

the quality of the players but decent value nevertheless.
