Commerce Bank Championship

FINAL RESULT: 1-2; +0.00pts

Weibring 6th
Quigley 29th
Jenkins 5th

Had hoped for much better with Jenkins in 2nd place and Weibring in 5th heading into the final round with a virtual unknown in the lead. But at least there was a break-even result at the end of the day.

Outright plays (total stake per play: 2pts)

D.A. Weibring to win 12/1 e.w. @ BetInternet
No course experience, but given that in his last five starts, he has won once, lost in a playoff once, been placed on one further occasion and finished one shot of the places on another occasion, he is clearly in the necessary form to master on course on this Tour. With this event missing some of the 'name' players on this Tour and with very few of the in-form players having any form on this course, I'll side with Weibring again ... he has been very profitable so far!

Dana Quigley to win 14/1 e.w. @ Expekt
Quigley has been very profitable as well. He has been backed three times in the last two months, winning once and being placed on the other two occasions. His form on this course has not been of the standard expected this week, but he has never approached this event in this sort of form. He currently ranks 1st in the Money Leaders by a very large margin and has admitted that recently that for the first time in his career, he feels that he is capable of winning every week that he tees it up. I'll continue to ride that train!

Tom Jenkins to win 20/1 e.w. @ BetInternet
Only a few weeks ago, Jenkins was at single-figure odds on the Champions Tour. He did win the Allianz Championship at such figures earlier this month, but subsequent finishes of 17th in the weather-disrupted Bayer Advantage Classic and 21st in the Bank of America Championship hardly represent the collapse of form worthy of a more than doubling of his odds. He still ranks 1st in greens in regulation on Tour and 2nd in the Money List to Quigley (Weibring is also in the top-5) and he does have top-15 finishes in each of the two years that this event has been played at the Red Course at Eisenhower Park. That is much better than the previous course form he had for in his last two events and a return to his previous high finishes is predicted this week.
