5-0; +2.25pts Pre-tournament plays: LAY 20pts liability Adam Scott 18 36th Daniel Berger 44 36th Alex Noren 85 31st Soren Kjeldsen 110 mc J.T. Poston 110 24th A new venue should be good for Scott who hasn't had a good record at Quail Hollow and the similarities between Eagle Point and Augusta National should help, but he is yet to secure a top-5 finish this year so I would price him a couple of points higher with Dustin Johnson dominating this market Berger is another whose form has been very inconsistent this year with too many missed cuts for a player who is 38th in the World Rankings, so he is another who I would price 10-15% higher Four wins in six month saw Noren finish last year in the top-10 of the World Rankings, but a best finish of 34th in a PGA Tour event is ample reason to oppose him on this Tour A similar situation with Kjeldsen who has no top-5 finishes in 30 PGA Tour starts, so while he may be very competitive on the European Tour, he is opposable on this one Poston finished 10th in the Puerto Rico Open for his best finish in his rookie season on the PGA Tour, given that was a lowly event played at teh same time as the Dell Technologies Match Play suggests that he will struggle to even match that feat with the likes of Dustin Johnson, Jon Rahm and Adam Scott in the field No rd4 plays.
