10-2; +10.30pts 

Round 1 plays (1pt):

Brian Bateman to beat Matthew Borchert -125 @ Five Dimes  WON by 1
Opposing Borchert who was +3 or higher in three of four rounds last week. The Q-School graduate was making ends meet by washing golf carts in Orlando 12 months ago; this is too big a jump in class to be able to compete regularly with a Tour regular like Bateman.

Ben Crane to beat Ryan Moore -120 @ The Greek [available widely]  WON by 5
These two played in 17 common events over the last 12 months and Crane finished ahead of Moore in 13 of them. With Crane's good record in this event (every cut made in 6 attempts), I can't see this trend reversing this week.

Glen Day to beat Rich Beem -105 @ Five Dimes  WON by 1
Day also holds the upper hand over his opponent in the h2h stats and with Beem's poor record in this event (just two cuts made in his last seven attempts), he should be the favourite in this matchup.

Johnson Wagner to beat Jonathan Byrd -105 @ Five Dimes  TIED
With good performances in this event in the last two years and a top-10 finish in the Mercedes-Benz Championship, Wagner could be a player to watch this week; Byrd is capable but is an infrequent entrant in this event and has never challenged when he has taken part.

Kirk Triplett to beat Billy Andrade -105 @ Five Dimes  WON by 1
Triplett's game was fine from tee to green last week so looking for a better performance this week; he does have a decent record in this event and much better than Andrade who can only manage a best finish of 30th in this event from 13 attempts
