1-1; +2.00pts  (system plays: 1-0-0) 

Round 1 play (2pts):

Nick Watney to beat Adam Scott +100 @ 5Dimes  LOST by 1
No point in denying Scott's form in the last couple of months - he has finished 3rd, 25th, 1st and 7th since the start of July - but Watney has also won over the same period and he is the much more consistent player. That consistency sees him ranked 1st in the FedEx Cup Race, 2nd in the Money List and 3rd in Scoring Average, so there should be value in backing a player like this at plus odds.

 

Round 2 play (4pts):

Adam Scott to beat Jason Day -115 @ Pinnacle [widely available]  WON by 1
Disappointed that Watney three-putted the penultimate hole to miss out on the tie, but it doesn't detract from Scott's impressive play yesterday, particularly on the front nine. Day was shorter off the tee, missed more fairways and missed more greens than Scott yesterday, so there is no real indication that he can raise his game to match the form of his opponent.

[unofficial rd2 system play: Garcia tb Van Pelt -125 (W)]

 

No round 3 plays.

NOTES

There will be only one play per round - my 'best bet' - and these will typically be 2pts and cover only '2-ball' matches rather than '3-ball' matches. Where my analysis points to a particular mismatch that is not reflected in the odds, higher stakes may be advised, up to a maximum of 6pts.

Note that '2pts' represents 'to win 2pt' if the player is odds-on (negative in moneyline terms or less than 2.0 in decimal odds) and represents '2pts staked' if the player is odds-against (positive in moneyline terms or at least 2.0 in decimal odds).
