Kinko's Classic (2pts):

Tom Purtzer to win 16/1 e.w. @ SkyBet
Sticking with Purtzer again despite last week's 25th place finish which was his worst result since February. Having finished in the top-six in his previous five tournaments, including one win, a week's breather is no bad thing. On paper he had a poor event last year, but a final round 79 when out of contention can easily be ignored when in this form. Very capable of winning this event, he is the main outright selection.

Larry Nelson to win 25/1 e.w. @ Stan James
Winning has proved to be a problem for Nelson. Despite a very high proportion of top-five finishes, it was not until late last season that he gained his first Tour win in two years. He has continued his good form into this season with five top-six finishes in his last five starts, so having gained course experience last year, he should once again challenge for a place finish at least.

D.A. Weibring to win 35/1 (1pt) @ Five Dimes & to finish in the top-four 6.25/1 (1pt) @ Centrebet
Can't remember splitting a play across two different books until now, but Five Dimes' offer of 3/1 on Weibring to finish in the top-five was as shockingly bad as the 35/1 on him to win was as good. Barring Centrebet's 25/1, he is generally 20/1 to win elsewhere. He was still too young to play on this Tour last year, but he has done very well on 'new' courses in the past eleven months anyway. Not only did he win the SAS Championship last September, but he has finished in the top-seven in five of his last seven starts, including 2nd last week. He should not be 35/1 to win.

Final update: 1-2; +27.25pts

Purtzer 40th
Nelson 1st
Weibring 9th

Another great week on the Champions Tour! I thought the chance had gone when Weibring made consecutive bogeys around the turn when he was in the lead in the final round, but Nelson came good in the end. This Tour is really making up for some very average capping on the PGA and European Tours!
