FleetBoston Classic

Outright plays (2 units):

Allen Doyle to win 16/1 e.w. @ Five Dimes (1 unit to win & 1 unit to finish in top-5)
Has yet to repeat his ultra-consistent play of the past few years, but at least with two 7th place finishes and a 12th place in the last three weeks, he is improving. This is the scene of some impressive displays in the past - three top-5 finishes in four years - so hopefully he will find another gear this week

Larry Nelson to win 20/1 e.w. @ Stan James [5 places option]
Very strange price. Surrey go 10/1 and 12/1 is commonly available, so looks good from a value standpoint at least. When the player in mind has won this event for the last two years, he is most definitely good value at 20/1.

Jim Thorpe to win 33/1 e.w. @ Bet365 or Five Dimes
Last week's letdown after his runners-up spot in the Ford Seniors was to be expected and can be ignored, though he has shown a tendency since winning the Tradition to give up on events if he has a poor first round. Top-20 on all three previous starts here and runner-up two years ago, he should be a factor if in contention after round one.

Final update: 2-1; +6.75 units

Doyle 12th
Nelson 5th
Thorpe 3rd

Have had players in contention in every event today, but this looked the best opportunity to finally secure an outright win. That is, until Thorpe bogeyed the par-5 last to finish one shot out of the playoff. Profitable place finish though and a small profit on the defending champion who shot the low round of the day to gain a share of 5th place. Doyle had been in contention until an indifferent last round.
