Outright plays (total stake per play: 1.5pts)
Luke Donald to win 25/1 e.w. @
BetInternet
A former student of Northwestern University, Chicago where he broke many NCAA
golf records and his primary residency remains in Chicago, so there is a strong
home advantage to this play and that is a very strong 'feel good' factor with
these players who spent week after week in hotel rooms on Tour. He record on
this course is good and that includes a 3rd place finish in 2004 and his form
this year has been good throughout, with one victory already. But there is
always a sense that Donald can be so much better than he currently is and if he
is to really move up a notch on this Tour, playing in his adopted hometown would
be a likely place to start.
Robert Allenby to win 40/1 e.w. available generally
In terms of course form, few can match Allenby around the Dubsdread course. Of
those who have played here more than three times, only Woods, Love and Furyk
rank ahead of his 70.00 scoring average. He beat Nick Price in a playoff for
this title in 2000 and has finished no worse than 16th in each of the last four
years. And with finishes of 16th in the U.S. Open and 9th in the Booz Allen
Classic in his last two outings, he is certainly playing well to continue his
impressive scoring around this course.
Brett Quigley to win 80/1 e.w. @
BetInternet
and
Victor
Chandler
Quigley can boast a top-5 finish last year, but it is largely his form since the
Tour left Florida that earns his selection this week. In those ten events, he
has finished in the top-10 on five occasions, including four of his last six
starts. He has yet to win on this Tour, but compared to best odds of 9/2 for a
top-10 finish and 14/1 for a top-5 finish, this looks the better value for
someone continues to get himself into contention over the weekend.
