Matchup plays (2pts):
Ed Dougherty to beat Hubert Green -118 @
Expekt
A rare opportunity to oppose Green who has not been competitive since returning
from throat cancer. In his last two starts before his surgery, he finished 4th
and then 30th in the U.S. Senior Open; his best finish since returning in 2004
has been 26th. So with Dougherty having a 15-2-2 h2h lead over him over the last
eighteen months, this should be straightforward.
Don Pooley to beat Tom Kite -115 @
Expekt
Backed Pooley for the outrights and will agree with Pinnacle who make him a
strong favourite in this match ... so much so that there is an arb available on
this match. No doubting Kite's pedigree, but he finished 16 shots behind Pooley
last week and that was only over three rounds. At these odds, I'll back Pooley
again.
(also available at BetFred and Pinnacle)
Scott Simpson to beat Curtis Strange -125 @
Expekt
A top-20 finish in three of his four Champions Tour starts is a ratio that
Strange cannot compete with and he has yet to finish ahead of Simpson on this
Tour. Both players are making their debuts on this course, but it should be
advantage Simpson again as he does have a house in Hawaii and shot 63 in his
last competitive event. |
