6-4; +2.70pts 

Round 1 play (2pts):

Spencer Levin to beat James Nitties +105 @ Five Dimes  WON by 1
I opposed Nitties in the first round last week after he was making his return to the Tour after three weeks with a neck injury and he opened with a 65. Maybe he suffered some stiffness thereafter as he failed to record another sub-70 round. Making his course debut and with some question marks still raised over his neck, he is opposed again this week. Levin has been playing well recently - two top-15 finishes in July - and does have course experience: 27th in 2005.

NOTES

Plays will typically be 1pt and cover only '2-ball' matches rather than '3-balls' matches. Note that '1pt' represents 'to win 1pt' if the player is odds-on (negative in moneyline terms or less than 2.0 in decimal odds) and represents '1pt staked' if the player is odds-against (positive in moneyline terms or at least 2.0 in decimal odds). If ties lose, this will be indicated.

Reasons will be given for round 1 plays, but thereafter the plays will be listed only - there is less time for handicapping between rounds, plus if I detail too many intra-round angles during the course of the season, the odds will surely be adjusted in future if the angles are profitable.
