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.

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.
