Stake 4pts Love to beat Curtis +100 @ Pinnacle Win
Love currently has a 5-2 h2h lead over Curtis this term. And given that Curtis hasn't bettered 30th in three previous starts here while Love has finished worse than 30th on only one occasion in his last eleven starts here these odds seem very large.   

Stake 3pts Glover to beat Yang -120 @ BlueSq Tie
Yang has shown some decent improvement this year and has had a few good finishes but this is a big step up in class. He played here in '07 and finished 56th. Glover has missed the last two cuts but understandably so after his hectic post US Open schedule. He has coming back after a break, finished 4th here in '06 and holds a substantial h2h lead over Yang.  

Stake 3pts Perry to beat Harrington -111 @ Bet365 Lose
The last major of the year, the USPGA Championship is next week. And last year's event was the last time that Harrington finished ahead of Perry in a h2h. Perry also holds a 3-2 h2h lead here and shows few signs of letting his form slip. Meanwhile Harrington showed glimpeses of form early on at the Open but there is not a lot of evidence to suggest that these odds aren't value. 

Stake 3pts Poulter to beat Z Johnson -111 @ Bet365 Tie
There is no denying that Poulter has improved significantly in recent years but even I was surprised at his h2h record with Johnson. Poulter missed the cut at Bay Hill and also at Turnberry but he has finished ahead of Johnson in all other eight events this season. He also has a record here that is equally as good as Johnson's.  

Stake 5pts Mahan to beat Kim +100 @ William Hill Win
I'm not going to get carried away with Kim apparent return to form. He has four good finishes from his last five starts but three of those were in very average fields and in most of those starts he still managed to ofinish behind Mahan. In fact The Open, where both players missed the cut was the only time this season that Kim has finished ahead of Mahan. Kim finished 36th here in 2008 and Mahan has bettered that on both his previous starts here.
