Matchup Picks - Champions Tour

Tipster: Stanley

First Tee Open

FINAL RESULT: 2-1-0; +0.68pts

Hall/Fiori WON by 2
Haas/Stadler LOST by 3
Nielsen/Oakley WON by 7

Small profit on the matchup plays to bring all plays on the event into the black. Just failed with the Haas play - he finished 2nd, but it was not enough this week.

 

54-hole plays (2pts unless stated):

Walter Hall to beat Ed Fiori -135 @ Five Dimes
Siding the player in better form: Hall has finished in the top-25 in each of his last seven starts; something that Fiori has only managed twice in his last seven. So no surprise that Hall has finished ahead of Fiori in each of their last four common events.

Jay Haas to beat Craig Stadler -133 @ Centrebet [4pts]
Stadler may top the Money List on this Tour, but there is still a huge gap between that achievement and playing in the Ryder Cup. Haas has finished ahead of Stadler in all four common events this year and this really shouldn't change this week.

Lonnie Nielsen to beat Pete Oakley -135 @ Five Dimes [4pts]
Nielsen has finished ahead of Oakley in four common events on American soil this year and should make it five this week. Oakley moved from the European Senior Tour to the Champions Tour following his win at the Senior British Open, but has broken 70 only once in fourteen rounds and has a best finish of 37th. Nielsen is the far better player.
