Matchup bets: (Total Stake: 2pts)

Angel Cabrera to beat Colin Montgomerie -110 @ Carib

Cabrera has been supremely consistent over the past few months and in h2h's this season with

Montgomerie he leads an impressive 9-2-2. I'm not expecting a negative reaction this week from

Monty after his Ryder Cup heroics. But with the form he is at the moment I give Cabrera the edge.

And on a course that is likely to turn into a birdiefest I'd much rather be with Cabrera rather than

the fairways and green approach of Montgomerie.

Trevor Immelman to beat Paul Casey +100 @ Carib

A number of possibilities cropped up this week to oppose Casey as I believe he is being overrated

based on his Ryder Cup and Matchplay performances. Irrespective of how impressive he was over

the past two weeks, his form over the season in general compared to Immelmans does not make

him a clear favourite in my assessment. Immelman has had a superb last 6 months and that form

has continued that form since returning from a break to celebrate the birth of his first child. His

recent stats have shown a marked improvement in all aspects of his game while Casey's form can

solely be attributed to an improvement in his accuracy off the tee. Not much to separate these

two, but I would have Immelman as slight favourite.

Anthony Wall to beat Simon Dyson -104 @ Pinnacle

Both players have impressed this season, but Wall has comfortably the better h2h record against

Dyson. There is also a worry that Dyson's form is tailing off after his recent vistory at the KLM

as he has missed two out of three subsequent cuts while Wall continues to impress with his

consistency. Wall has the better record in higher quality fields and his recent 5th at Wentworth,

supposedly a course similar in make up to this one, is another positive sign.

Lucas Glover to beat Sean O'Hair -110 @ Carib

O'Hair spent the early part of this season struggling to overcome the difficult second season

syndrome. But thankfully that's all in the past and his form over the past 4 months has been

excellent, although there are recent signs that his long season is being to take it's toll. Glover

on the otherhand has a largely disappointing second half of the season but recent signs are

more encouraging. His performances at the Bridgestone and the Deutsche Bank highlighted a

potential return to form. If this week does turn into a birdie feast then Glover will be favoured,

as he is currently sitting 6th on the tour on birdie average (O'Hair 94th) and 10th for birdie

conversion (O'Hair 78th).
