SBC Championship

FINAL RESULT: 0-4; -8.00pts

Morgan 25th
Thorpe 17th
Levi 12th
Tewell 17th

Not exactly a consistent performance. Morgan shot 62 in the 2nd round after opening with 77; Thorpe had rounds of 67 and 66 spoiled by a 2nd round 76; Levi finished three shots out of a place win despite an opening 73, which leaves only Tewell who was consistently average. Very strange week.

Outright plays (2pts):

Gil Morgan to win 33/1 e.w. @ BetInternet
Some outlier prices from BetInternet this week, so adding an extra outright play. Just one in the top-4 would be enough to ensure a profit. A good chance of one from Morgan whose worst finish in the last five months (15 starts) is 23rd. He has been easily inside that mark in the last two years here and more commonly available at half these odds.

Jim Thorpe to win 33/1 e.w. @ BetInternet
Same story here, though Thorpe is nowhere near as consistent. However, he is well-known as a late-season player and with three top-5 finishes in his last four starts, this seems to be holding true again. So in good form and with a good history around Oak Hills, he is another who widely available at half these odds.

Wayne Levi to win 40/1 e.w. @ BetInternet
The in-form player on Tour. Levi looked like he might add a second title in as many weeks last weeks, but faded in the last round to finish 3rd. The likelihood of fatigue is a good reason to avoid him this week, but that does not set in when you're playing this well and this is a price that cannot be ignored. He has finished in the top-3 in his last two Texas events and is certainly playing well enough to extend that streak.

Doug Tewell to win 50/1 e.w. @ BetInternet
Tewell was the in-form player on Tour until Levi took over that mantle in the last two weeks and it looked as though he would be a player to void this week after two poor opening rounds at Augusta Pines. However a closing 64 is a pretty good indicator that he has got his game back and any repeat of that or his previous form could see him life his 2nd SBC Championship title.
