Bets: 5 Wins: 3 Losses: 2 Profit/Loss = + 3.20 pts Stake 3pts Furyk to beat Casey +107 @ Pinnacle Lose Casey has been in very impressive form so far this season but he still trails Furyk 3-1 in stroke play events. He has never played here before which is likely to be a disadvantage as course form has proven to be a strong indicator in previous years. Meanwhile Furyk has five top ten finishes to his name. Another decent showing is expected from Furyk and he should be at least a -110 shot this week with conditions in his favour. Stake 3pts Hoffman to beat Gay -110 @ Expekt Lose Both players have been superbly consistent so far but Gay's form in his last couple of starts has been very poor. He withdrew after an opening 80 at the Players and then missed the cut last week in a tournament where has performed well in the past. On both occasions his putting was very poor. But he does have a pretty decent record here from past visits. Hoffman has marginally the better current form. leading 5-2 in h2h's this season, had a reasonable finish back here in 2006, has a goos record in Texas and has a decent enough iron game to expect a decent performance this week. Stake 2pts Purdy to beat Immelman +110 @ Pinnacle Win Purdy has been in decent form of late, his ball striking stats have been very impressive, he as a game that should be suited to conditions this week and he has performed well here in the past with three decent performances from five starts. Immelman's game was looking as if it was picking up but he has disappointed on his last couple of starts, his stats hardly show his game to be in great shape and he missed the cut on his only start here back in '07. At this price Purdy has to be the logical choice despite Immelman being superior in overall class. Stake 3pts Marino to beat Wi +100 @ Bet365 Win After a slow start Marino's game has progressed nicely of late and he has won four out of the last five h2h's against Wi. Wi's game is not in a bad shape and he did finish 15th here last season but Marino for me is the better player and with his game in such good shape and his two previous appearances resulting in strong finishes I believe he should be around a -115 shot. Stake 4pts Toms to beat Weir +100 @ BetFred Win I can't understand the reasoning behind Weir being favourite in this matchup. Toms has been in supreb form of late and can be forgiven for last week narrow missed cut. He has a superb record here with four top ten finishes and his game is in great shape and should be suited to conditions this week. Weir has been consistent so far this season but he has rarely been contending and he has a relatively poor record here. In fact he currently trails Toms 6-2 in previous h2h's here and with Toms's game in such good shape he should be at around a -120 shot here.
