4-6; -1.90pts Round 1 plays (1pt): Jonathan Kaye to beat Robert Garrigus -105 @ Five Dimes LOST by 2 Opposing Garrigus who has missed the cut in his last three visits to Torrey Pines; that doesn't compare well to Kaye's finishes of 7th, 30th and 4th in his last three visits. Brendon Todd to beat Peter Lonard -105 @ Five Dimes LOST by 3 Lonard could only manage a best finish of 39th in three starts in Australia over the off-season and he has not started the 2009 in any better form: two missed cuts and a 60th place finish in three starts so far. With Lonard also having missed his last two cuts here, the Nationwide Tour graduate should finish ahead of Lonard again this week. Briny Baird to beat Ryan Moore +110 @ Stan James [ties lose] WON by 9 Once again backing Baird in the first round. He has a 12-4-0 rd1 head-to-head lead over his opponent over the past 12 months and despite Moore making the cut last week (only the third time in his last ten starts), Baird should start the stronger. Brad Adamonis to beat Nicholas Thompson -105 @ Five Dimes TIED With a best finish of 58th in his three starts this year and a best finish of 81st from two starts in this event, there is little to suggest that Thompson will shoot a low score today. Admonis made the cut in his previous start here and made both cuts this year, including a top-10 finish, so really should be the favourite in this matchup. Round 3 plays (1pt): Lucas Glover to beat Ben Curtis -115 @ Five Dimes [also available @ Stan James] WON by 4 Bart Bryant to beat Ben Curtis +110 @ Pinnacle and WSEX [also available @ Carib] LOST by 4 Bill Haas to beat Nathan Green +120 @ SkyBet [ties lose] TIED (loss) Paul Goydos to beat John Rollins +114 @ Pinnacle [also available @ SkyBet and Paddy Power] LOST by 2 Round 4 plays (1pt): Jeff Klauk to beat J.B.
