three events.
Outright plays (total stake per play: 1.5pts)
Jason Bohn to win 33/1 e.w. @
BetInternet
If only PGA Tour events started on Fridays! Bohn has not broken 70 in his
opening round since the Ford Championship in the first week of March! Last week,
he ranked 120th after the 1st round and finished 16th; in his previous start, he
had ranked 139th after the 1st round and finished 9th. So he is clearly playing
well enough to win his 2nd PGA Tour title; he just needs a decent start. Last
year he missed the cut, but that was the seventh missed cut in nine events and
on his course debut, the previous year, he finished 14th which was his best
finish on the PGA Tour to date. So with a decent start on a course that holds
good memories, he should enter the weekend at much lower odds than these.
Shigeki Maruyama to win 33/1 e.w. @
BetDirect
Last year Maruyama finished 7th, but that was in the middle of a period in which
he admitted to putting poorly and that is evident from his finishes. His top-10
finish was only his second cut that he made in a run of seven events from July
to September. So even though he fell from being 2nd at the start of the weekend,
it was a noteworthy performance given his struggles at the time. And he is not
struggling at the moment. True, he missed the cut last week, but in the previous
two starts, he had finished 13th and 5th and he had missed the cut at the
Western Open last year as well. Against this field, 33/1 is rather generous.
Hunter Mahan to win 80/1 e.w. @
Ladbrokes
and
BetFred
An attractive price for a player who was 1st and then 2nd after the first two
rounds last year and eventually finished 7th. He had dropped five shots in eight
holes at the start of his third round, but still finished only three shots
behind the winner, Sean O'Hair. And considering that he finished 2nd in the
Buick Championship only two weeks ago against a stronger field, he should have a
good chance of being on the leaderboard again this week. |
