Further matchup plays:

Stake 2pts Tom Pernice Jnr to Jose Maria Olazabal -106 @ Pinnacle

After a very slow start to the season with three missed cuts Pernice is beginning to show some consistent form

and has now managed three consecutive top twenty finishes. Meanwhile Olazabal has openly admitted that he

is not happy with his game at the moment. He also has no experience of the course while Pernice finished 7th

in 2003 and 33rd in 2005. Pernice should be favourite here at around -120.

Stake 2pts Vijay Singh to beat Tiger Woods +280 @ The Greek

Singh's record here reads 2-10-1-38 and that record would be even more impressive if it was not for a closing

round of 81 last time out. Tiger's record reads 3-11 which is average for a player of Tiger's record. He also can't

have too many decent memoreis of this event, having to pull out of last year's event through the death of his father.

There are enough question marks surrounding Tiger to suggest that he is opposable this week and as Vijay as such

a strong chance this week odds of this magnitude have to be taken.

Matchup plays:

Stake 3pts Zach Johnson to beat Robert Allenby +100 @ Pinnacle

Even before his Masters win Johnson has impressed me this year, his game looks stronger but just as importantly

in his interviews he has making all the right noises. The week after his Augusta win he played at the Heritage,

acheived a top ten finish and a hit an impressive >90% fairways off the tee. Oky he has three missed cuts from three

previous starts here but he claims to love the course and I can see another strong showing from him while he is in this

frame of mind. Allenby's consistent start to this season is beginning to wane, his accuracy stats are beginning to

deteriorate and has a poor record here. I would make Johnson the favourite here at around -115.

Stake 2pts Chris DiMarco to beat Nick Watney +115 @ Pinnacle

DiMarco played pretty well a couple of weeks ago, a third round of 80 putting paid to any chances of a decent

finish. His stats off the tee are decent and he has decent finishes here in the past, 4th in 2005 and a 3rd from the

Nationwide Tour in 1997. Watney has done well this season with some good finishes and a win in New Orleans

but he equally capable of putting in a poor finish. His decent finishes here in the past ensures that Watney should

be favourite here but the odds for DiMarco here are far too large and +100 is more accuarte.

Stake 4pts Geoff Ogilvy to beat Henrik Stenson -102 @ Pinnacle

Ogilvy and Stenson are playing to a similar level of ability at the moment and there's not a lot to separate them on

current form, Ogilvy just shading it by my reckoning. But with expected conditions similar to the U.S. Open, Ogilvy

having three good finishes from his three previous starts here and Stenson making his debut he has to be considered

the favourite in this match up, I have him at -120.
