Uniting Fore Care Classic

Outright plays (2 units):

Doug Tewell to win 14/1 e.w. @ Sean Graham
Five consecutive top-10 finishes or six in his last seven with the anomaly being 11th in the U.S. Senior Open and it is clear that Tewell should be a contender this week. Having won on this course in 1999 as well, I will be surprised if he doesn't secure at least a top-5 finish.

Morris Hatalsky to win 16/1 e.w. @ Stan James
No course form for this 2002 debutant, but he displayed a welcome return to his early summer form when he finished 3rd in the Long Island Classic. He secured five top-5 finishes in six events in that golden run and currently ranks 3rd in the all-round ranking on Tour (Tewell is ranked 2nd and Thorpe 8th). Good enough to win, finally.

Jim Thorpe to win 25/1 e.w. @ William Hill or SportsInteraction
Will consider Thorpe again now that he has taken a two-week rest. His last uninterrupted spell of competitive golf ended with the Long Island Classic and started with victory in the Tradition in April. That's fifteen consecutive events! It was no surprise that he developed a trend of good week - bad week. Has finished in the top-10 both times on this course and the last time he played after a break, he won.

Final update: 1-2; +15.20 units

Tewell 33rd
Hatalsky 1st
Thorpe 8th

Comfortable 12-point victory for Hatalsky who lead throughout, though he was caught by John Jacobs after 36 holes. Definitely good enough to win. Almost a place win with Thorpe. He just needed one more birdie to finish 3rd, but still a very good event.
