"**"denotes a two point play

Stake 1.09 pts Carl Petterson -109 over Rod Pampling @ Pinnacle

Going to ride Petterson this week as he is a player who plays well in bunches. His game disappeared last season until the last few weeks and he continued that form last week in Hawaii. Pampling has not played since the run of Australian events in November. Both have poor records at this event but I will go with the in form player

Stake 2.4 pts Martin Laird -120 over Michael Sim @ Bet365 (Ties lose) **

I look for Laird to be a contender this week. He obviously has an affection for desert courses winning Vegas a few months ago and played well in Phoenix and Reno. He made the cut in his last two starts here, going -19 last year. Sim's first event of the year and first start at this tournament. Laird finished 4th in a smaller yet very impressive field two weeks ago, he may top that this week.

Stake 2.10 pts Martin Laird-105 over John Senden @ 5dimes **

Senden's performance is quite solid at this event but he also has not played since the stretch of Aussie events. There are enough reasons to oppose Senden, epecialy with a guy like Laird who is in solid form.

Stake 1.50 pts Jason Dufner -105 over Rickie Fowler @ Extrabet

Dufner finished t20 last week with a closing 64. Dufner has improved from his first event here with a solid t34 last year and is a player who is not afraid to shoot low scores. Fowler finished 5 shots out of last place last week, and even though this venue may suit him better I don't think he will be able to keep up with Dufner

Stake 1.1 Pts Matt Kuchar -110 over David Toms @ 5dimes

Kuchar has beaten Toms 6 out of the last 8 common events with one of those losses coming last week where Kuchar missed  the cut. Still with Kuchar's recent form the past 5 months this is certainly a play at a pick'em.
