12-3; +8.40pts 1st round play (1pt): John Merrick to beat Michael Letzig & Charles Warren +125 @ Expekt [also available @ Boyle Sports and Coral] TIED
Can't find a single two-ball matchup that I like for the 1st round, so will play a three-ball matchup instead. With finishes of 18th and 7th on this course in the last two years - and he held the lead on his own with one round to play last year - and two top-10 finishes in his last four starts, it is easy to see why a number of bookies make Merrick their joint 4th-favourite this week. There is no such support for either Letzig, who is making his course debut and has a best finish of 42nd in the last two months, or for Warren, who has a best finish of 38th in the last two months.
