FINAL RESULT: 2-3-0; -4.68pts

Doyle/Gilder WON by 8
Jenkins/Gilder WON by 3
Jenkins/Lietzke LOST by 8
Morgan/Lietzke LOST by 3
Stadler/Irwin LOST by 4

Simply not a good week to oppose Lietzke who finished 4th.

72-hole plays (2pts unless stated):

Allen Doyle to beat Bob Gilder -140 @ Five Dimes
Straightforward selection. Doyle has finished ahead of Gilder in four of their last five common events and has an excellent record in this event, winning it in 2001 and finishing in the top-20 in all of his five attempts. Gilder's best finish in 30th in three attempts.

Tom Jenkins to beat Bob Gilder -118 @ Centrebet [4pts]
So just as much reason to side with Jenkins and at better odds. He has a 10-5-0 h2h lead over Gilder in 2004 and has a good record on this course, finishing ahead of Gilder in all of his attempts.

Tom Jenkins to beat Bruce Lietzke -114 @ Expekt
Lietzke is still a long way from being competitive as he recovered from surgery on his shoulder. He is playing only occasionally and Jenkins, a consistent top-15 finisher, should win if he finishes in the top-15 yet again.

Gil Morgan to beat Bruce Lietzke -140 @ Five Dimes [4pts]
In 15 starts this season, Morgan has finished outside the top-15 only once and he has finished behind Lietzke only twice in nine common events in 2004. Much the better player and a realistic contender for this title.

Craig Stadler to beat Hale Irwin -140 @ Five Dimes
The old and the new. Irwin is just about hanging on to his competitiveness on the Tour, while Stadler has won an event on the main Tour in the past 12 months, is the defending champion and 1st in scoring average and 'all-round ranking' on the Tour.
