7-8; -2.50pts Round 1 plays (1pt): Zach Johnson to beat Dustin Johnson -150 @ Pinnacle [also available @ SkyBet, Stan James, Unibet and WSEX] WON by 6 After some sparkling form in February, Dustin has shown little since the Tour moved from the West Coast to suggest that he will be a contender this week. Together with the fact that he has shot a lower 1st round score than Zach just twice over the last 12 months and that he is playing against the defending champion, he deserves to be the large underdog in this matchup. Bob Estes to beat John Huston -161 @ Unibet WON by 4 A very good record in this event versus three consecutive missed cuts and three top-20 finishes in his last five starts versus none since January ... another justfiably one-sided matchups in terms of the odds.
