Matchup plays (2pts per play)
Brad Bryant to beat Dana Quigley -125 @
Expekt
Quigley may have won this event last year, but this season has been very
different for the Iron Man of the Tour. His health problems and the medications
prescribed have continued to cause him difficulties and in a total of nine
common events, he has finished behind Bryant on all but one occasion ... and
that was by a single stroke.

Morris Hatalsky to beat Jim Thorpe -111 @
Expekt
Did consider Hatalsky for the outrights at a decent price of 40/1, but happy to
back him in the matchups instead. He has already won once this year and has five
top-6 finishes in his last ten starts, which is quite a contrast to Thorpe who
has just one top-10 finish since January.

Craig Stadler to beat Jim Thorpe -110 @
Pinnacle
There has been some recent evidence that Stadler is returning to some of his
previous form. He has two top-3 finishes in his last five starts and was the
star player at the halfway stage of the two-day Par-3 Shootout on Monday against
Chris DiMarco, Fred Couples and Andy North. It's enough indication of a return
to form and having finished ahead of Thorpe in four of their last six common
events, there should be value in these odds. |
