5-6; -8.05pts Round 1 plays (2pts): Sergia Garcia to beat Padraig Harrington +110 @ Paddy Power [available generally] LOST by 3
Backed this matchup last week and Garcia won en route to leading The Barclays after the 1st round. Harrington did finish the event better, but having missed the cut at the course on both his previous visits, he may not continue his recent good run of form. Garcia has finished 17th and 5th here in the last two years and has certainly shown that he can play very well for 18 holes, rather than 72. Tim Clark to beat David Toms +102 @ Pinnacle [also available @ Bet365 and WSEX] LOST by 3
I don't see why Toms is the favourite in this matchup. He withdrew after an opening 75 in his last appearance here and has not shown any of the form that he displayed in June. Clark has finished ahead of him in four of their last five common events (so there doesn't seem to be any lingering problem with his neck) and he has two top-15 finishes at the TPC Boston in four attempts. Luke Donald to beat Ian Poulter +100 @ William Hill WON by 3
Poulter may be displaying the better form at the moment, but with missed cuts in both his previous starts on this course, he would have been expected to prepare well this week. Instead, he has only played the pro-am according to his Twitter site and spent yesterday evening at a Patriots vs. Giants game at Tom Brady's hospitality. He seemed more concerned that he was playing with Stewart Cink and needed to depose him as the Twitter King. On a course that he knows well and has played well on, this approach would be fine, but I can only oppose for this round at least.
