Outright plays:

Allen Doyle to win 16/1 e.w. @ BetSmart or Stan James [0.5 units]
Can find him at half those odds at Surrey Sports and that is a better reflection of the Tour's player of the year last year. With 25 top-10 finishes from 34 starts last year, he will be an automatic selection for some time to come at these odds.

Doug Tewell to win 25/1 e.w. @ BetSmart or Stan James [0.5 units]
Finished the 2001 season in great form. Failed to win, but secured top-4 finishes in four of his last five events. Creditable 8th place last year, he should improve on that.

Dana Quigley to win 50/1 e.w. @ William Hill [0.5 units]
Big price for the player who would have put in the most practice over the Christmas break. As a result he usually starts the season very well - top-10 finish in 3 of first 4 events of 2001, in 4 of first 5 events on 2000, the first three events of 1999 and so on. Top-4 finishes on this course in 1999 and 2000, he could be the ideal start to our Senior Tour campaign.

Final update:

Outrights: 1-2; +1.88 units

Doyle 5th
Tewell 9th
Quigley 4th

Nice way to start the new season. All three were in contention throughout the tournament and Quigley secured a place win at decent odds.
