Matchup plays (2pts)

Robert Allenby to beat Jeff Maggert +118 @ Pinnacle
On the surface, it appears as though Maggert is in the better form, but he broke his run of four missed cuts with finishes of 5th in the U.S. Bank Championship (played the same week as the British Open), 30th in the Reno-Tahoe Open (played the same week as the Bridgestone Invitational) and 11th in the Wyndham Championship (when everyone was taking a week off to prepare for the gruelling FedEx Cup). So he has only done well in very weak fields and this is a huge step-up in class. Given that he has finished ahead of Allenby just once over the last 12 months, the step-up in class to Allenby's level should be too much.

Henrik Stenson to beat Angel Cabrera +110 @ The Greek
Opposing Cabrera who has struggled since winning the U.S. Open with finishes of 60th, 19th, 34th, 69th and mc over that period. Stenson is hardly a player in form, but he did enough to beat Cabrera by a total of nine shots over the recent PGA Championship and Bridgestone Invitational, so there should be value at these odds.

Vijay Singh to beat Sergio Garcia -122 @ Pinnacle
A gruelling four-week end to the PGA Tour season is the last thing that Garcia needs at the moment and that was summed up exactly by his "the world is against me" response when he found out that he had been disqualified in the PGA Championship two weeks ago. Such an attitude may have been justified after his British Open loss, but for all his good play, he is clearly someone who can be counted upon to throw in the towel over the next few weeks if things aren't going well on the course. Vijay may not be playing as well as Sergio, but he should be optimistic about his chances of winning the FedEx Cup on these courses over the next four weeks. This week, for example, his course history reads 4th, 7th and 1st in the last three years. He will certainly keep trying until the last putt drops.
