Matchup bets:
 
Stake 4pts    Stewart Cink to beat Ian Poulter                         -105 @ Centrebet
Poulter's consistency has improved on this tour, but he's still got a long way to go before
he matches Cink's consistency. Cink also has a lot of experience of this course with decent
previous form while Poulter has one previous start and missed the cut. Poulter as favourite,
not in my book.
 
Stake 3pts    Aaron Baddeley to beat Mike Weir                   +105 @ Pinnacle
I'm not a huge fan of backing Baddeley but his form has improved considerably of late and
he does have decent previous form here. Every aspect of Weir's game last week was very
poor and although he won here 2003 and 2004 his performances here before and after those
victories was poor.
 
Stake 2pts    Rod Pampling to beat Stephen Ames                 +100 @ Stan James
Ames has played here twice before and finished behind Pampling both times. And
given a lack of evidence of any decent current form from Ames I would be more than
happy to oppose him. Pampling's current form figures are hardly inspiring but despite finishing
54th and 51st in his last two starts he finished 3rd and 7th for driving accuracy. And given
his excellent all-round short game a return to form this week is expected. 
 
Stake 2pts    Nick O'Hern to beat Lucas Glover                     -105 @ Pinnacle
Neither player has played here before. With a recent victory in Australia and a second
place in Qatar O'Hern has by far the better recent form. He is also the more consistent
player and his game should be more suited to this course than the big hitting game of
Glover.  
 
Stake 2pts    Adam Scott to beat Phil Mickelson                    +100 @ Skybet
Although Mickelson won last week his other performances on tour this season coupled
with two missed cuts out of three starts make him eminently opposable. Scott has seven
top 10 finishes from his last ten starts and a first and second place finish from his two
starts here and there's is little evidence to suggest that he won't figure prominently again.
