Matchup Picks - Champions Tour

Tipster: Stanley

Charles Schwab Cup Championship

FINAL RESULT: 1-1-1; -0.42pts

Bean/Fiori LOST by 1
Marsh/Fiori WON by 7
Morgan/Fleisher TIED (Dead heat)

Opposed Fiori who came 27th of the 29 who finished the event, so rather surprised to lose one of the matchups against him. Caps a loss-making season on matchups on this Tour so just as well the outrights have been so profitable.

 

72-hole plays (2pts):

Andy Bean to beat Ed Fiori -114 @ Expekt
Fiori is easily the weakest player in this event. He has not secured a top-10 finish since April and this matchup against Bean, he has finished ahead of him only once in their last ten common events. Without even any course experience, Fiori should struggle this week.

Graham Marsh to beat Ed Fiori +100 @ Five Dimes
Also opposing him with a weaker opponent in Graham Marsh, but at least Marsh does have experience of playing around Sonoma last year when he finished 13th. He has finished ahead of Fiori in four of their last six common events and should not be the underdog this matchup.

Gil Morgan to beat Bruce Fleisher -114 @ Expekt
Siding with a player who hasn't finished outside top-25 in any event since the first week of May - Fleisher has done so eight times in the same period - and holds a 13-8-3 h2h lead over his opponent. It also helps that Morgan finished ahead of Fleisher last year at Sonoma and shot 62 last Saturday.
