Matchup plays (2pts):
Mike McCullough to beat Eamonn Darcy -115 @
Five
Dimes
Opposing Darcy who did finish 2nd in this event last year, but was very
poor in finishing 64th in his only start of the year so far. McCullough
beat him by 13 shots on that occasion and has shown good form this
season.
Graham Marsh to beat David Eger -105 @
Five
Dimes
Marsh has also shown good form this year and currently lead Eger 3-0-1
h2h this season. Eger has yet to register a top-20 finish in 2004 and
will have to cope with the added pressure of being the defending
champion this week. Another top-20 finish from Marsh should be enough
for victory.
Tom Jenkins to beat Bob Gilder -111 @
Centrebet
The difference in the form between these two players is just as
emphatic. Jenkins leads Gilder 4-0-0 h2h this season and finished seven
shots ahead on this course last year, so no hesitation in backing
another outright selection for the second time.

while now.
