7-8; -2.50pts 

Round 1 plays (1pt):

Zach Johnson to beat Dustin Johnson -150 @ Pinnacle [also available @ SkyBet, Stan JamesUnibet 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.

Stephen Ames to beat Bob Estes -133 @ Bet365  WON by 3

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.
