Final Result Cink beaten by Harrington by 7
Lehamn beat Durant (mc)
Toms beat Rose by 1
Bets: 3 Wins: 2 Losses: 1 Profit/Loss = + 2.58 pts
Matchup bets:
Stake 3pts Stewart Cink to beat Padraig Harrington -112 @ Pinnacle Cink has been the more consistent player this season and holds a nice lead of 7-3 in h2h's over the last 12 months
against Harrington. This justifies Cink as favourite and the recent dip in Harrington's form makes Cink betting material.
But the clincher is Cink's decent course form where he has numerous top-10 finishes as opposed to Harrington who
is making his course debut this week.
Stake 3pts Tom Lehman to beat Joe Durant -105 @ TheGreek Lehman holds a 5-1 lead over Durant this season and there is little to suggest that Durant can easily turn the tables
this week. Durant's current form is still quite poor and erratic and in his previous starts here he has one decent finish
back in 2003 but his other finishes were less inspiring. It is a bit of a worry that Lehman has not played this course more
regularly but if he puts in one of his regular showings he should take this.
Stake 3pts David Toms to beat Justin Rose -110 @ Pinnacle & Carib Not much to separate them on current and previous course form but in my eyes Toms is the better overall player and
deserves favouritism here. Also there has to be concerns over Roses mental state after his disappointing closing round
on Sunday and also his physical state. He has played infrequently of late due to various injuries including to his back.
This will be the first time in a while that he has played back-to-back tournaments which adds to the value on Toms here. |
