Matchup bets:

Stake 4pts David Toms to beat K.J. Choi -110 @ The Greek

Choi has made great strides of late but his previous course form here is terrible. In the last four years both players

have made appearances and it currently stands at 4-0 in Toms favour. And while Choi's recent form is excellent so

is Toms who has made the top 10 in each of his last PGA starts and while he missed the cut at Carnoustie this can

be forgiven as he has never performed well at The Open.

Stake 3pts Vijay Singh to beat Ernie Els -110 @ Paddy Power

While Els has performed reasonably well this year after his comeback from injury he still trails Vijay by 6-3 on h2h's.

Both players have similar records on this course but Vijay still has slightly the better h2h record. With both players in

good recent form and with a similar course form it is surprising to see Vijay at this price given his h2h record against

Els this season and his average FP on the PGA tour which is on average 10 places lower than Els's.

Further Matchup bets:

Stake 3pts Stewart Cink to beat Adam Scott -120 @ The Greek & Pinnacle

Cink has the better recent form with an impressive 6th place in The Open last time out and has the better course form

with a victory back in 2004 and a second place finish last year. Scott's form is pretty decent but his course form is poor

trailing 3-1 in h2h's against Cink. This season Scott has yet to finish ahead of Cink in any tournament with Cink winning

8 out of 9 starts and one tie. Given the similarities in current form and the marked contrasts in course from it would be

surprising to see that change now.

Stake 3pts David Toms to beat Padraig Harrington +100 @ WSEX

Harrington is not the type of player that you want to oppose regularly in match ups due to his consistency but this is an

decent opportunity at a very tempting price. Although Harrington leads Toms in the h2h's this season and won The Open

last time out there is every chance of a comedown this week after all those celebrations. And he returns to a course where

he has had precious little success. Against an in form Toms on a course that Toms loves this price appeals.

Stake 3pts Zach Johnson to beat Scott Verplank -110 @ WSEX

After practically writing off Verplank's game a few weeks back he has promptly rediscovered his iron play of old, his GIR

stats have improved dramatically and the Verplank of old is back again. But this is a long course for someone who is short

off the tee like Verplank and he has never really showed up well here. Johnson has had a great season although it looked to

be tapering off lately. But his performance last time out at The Open was impressive and he has a decent record in this event.

With a healthy 7-2 h2h record over Verplank this season Johnson should be shorter than this.
