FINAL RESULT: 0-3; -4.50pts

Ames mc
Choi 62nd
Cink 12th

Had looked good for a decent return on Cink. He was 3rd after the first round, but struggled when having to play in the worst of the conditions in the 2nd round. He did threaten to get back into the place money several times over the weekend, but fell down the leaderboard quicker than he climbed it.

Stephen Ames to win 40/1 e.w. available generally
The winner of the Players Championship in March and but for a missed cut in New Orleans, he has maintained some very impressive form ever since the Tour left the West Coast. And none moreso that the way that he rebounded from a 77 in the 3rd round of the Colonial last time out when 2nd to shoot 63 and climb 34 places to finish in 4th place. If only all selections rebounded so well from poor rounds! In this event, he had a solid top-30 finish last year, but had been the 2nd round leader two years ago before finishing 6th, so he can clearly play well on this course. That makes for surprisingly large odds on the Canadian.

K.J. Choi to win 40/1 e.w. available generally
Solid form recently and on this course. In the last five weeks, he has finished 6th, 4th, 26th and 17th, shooting 63 in his final round of the Colonial in his last outing, so there is no concern about his form. In terms of his success at Muirfield Village, he has finished 13th, 5th and 8th in the last three years, so again there are clear pointers to a strong showing this week from Choi.

Stewart Cink to win 80/1 e.w. @ Ladbrokes
Backed him at 16/1 last week, so will gladly do so again at five times those odds even though he did play poorly in the St Jude Classic. He previous form is still as solid as it was a week ago with his performance in the Colonial of particular note and has played very well on this course in the past. From 2001 to 2003, he finished 4th, 9th and 6th here and while he finished a lowly 40th in 2004, he was again in contention last year being in 7th place at the cut even though he was in very poor form at the time. Apart from last week, that is not the case this year and so he should return to his former performances around this course this week.
