Stake 3pts Choi to beat Baddeley -105 @ Pinnacle
Stake 3pts Sabbatini to beat Baddeley -111 @ Expekt
Both Choi and Sabbatini have decent records here and very good form in the region while Baddeley has no previous course form and very poor form in the region. In addition, based on last season's displays they both hold a class advantage and further question marks surround Baddeley who may even be testing out new clubs this week.


Stake 3pts Byrd to beat Snedeker +155 @ WSEX
Snedeker has no previous course form and one missed cut in his only start in the region while Byrd has performed respectably here previously. Snedeker performed very well at the tail-end of the season in Japan and Australia but arrived in Hawaii suffering from flu-like symptoms. This is a huge price given that Snedeker is unlikely to enjoy the wet and windy conditions here.


Stake 3pts C Howell to beat C Campbell -110 @ The Greek
From 20 starts last season Campbell took the honours on only 5 occasions and only one of those victories didn’t involve Howell missing the cut. Howell has the superior form in this region and hopefully the break will have done him a lot of good so that he can start the season at a level close to last season.


Stake 3pts Verplank to beat Leonard -115 @ The Greek
Stake 3pts Verplank to beat Weir +105 @ WSEX
Last season Verplank returned to his usual consistent self and that makes him a great player to follow in match bets. The windy conditions shouldn’t affect his type of game too much and he has performed well here in the past, albeit a long time ago. Weir’s game should also be suited to the conditions but given his general inconsistency being able to get odds against on Verplank is a welcome bonus. And although Leonard has a good record here his overall game has deteriorated over the years, he was dreadfully inconsistent last season and Verplank should be much lower on previous evidence (Verplank last season won h2h’s 13-3).


Stake 2pts M Wilson to beat Watney +125 @ WSEX
Can’t understand these odds as Wilson had the better h2h record last season and Watney has shown no evidence of playing well in the region or to favour the projected wet and windy conditions or even to show a likeness for playing fresh. Based on previous evidence at worst I can’t split these 2, at best Wilson should be favourite.
