FINAL RESULT: 0-3; -7.02pts

Edwards/Weibring LOST by 6
Hatalsky/James LOST by 3
Morgan/Jenkins LOST by 3

Rather frustrating that the final round was cancelled due to poor weather. Both Hatalsky and Morgan managed to catch and pass their opponents during the final round, but their good scores were expunged from the records. But in truth, as with last week, they should never have been trailing after 36 holes.

 

Matchup plays (2pts)

David Edwards to beat D.A. Weibring -131 @ Pinnacle
Weibring has struggled with a shoulder injury this year while Edwards has made quite an impression in his first season on Tour. The product of these two players moving in opposite direction is that Edwards has finished ahead of Weibring in 10 of 13 common events this year and in each of their last six starts. More of the same this week, please!

Morris Hatalsky to beat Mark James -110 @ The Greek
This season has also been disappointing for Hatalsky, but he has performed better than James who has finished ahead of him just twice in their last nine common events. With Hatalsky beating James by two and nine shots on this course over the last two years respectively, he should warrant favouritism in this match.

Gil Morgan to beat Tom Jenkins -110 @ Pinnacle
Opposing last week's champion. That was Jenkin's 7th Champions Tour title and apart from his first win in 1999, he has yet to finish in the top-10 the following week. His remaining 'week-after-win' finishes have been: 43rd, 17th, 29th, 33rd and 17th. And given that he has just one top-10 finish in Texas the last seven years on the Champions Tour (14 events), he really shouldn't finish there this week. That should leave the door open very wide for a Morgan win and he was last year's runner-up, after all.
