To win WGC Matchplay Championship Stake 1.5 pts Nick Watney 33/1 (bwin) Watney is in great form and makes a ton of birdies. He made it to round three in his debut last year losing to Goosen 1-up. Stake 1 pt Francesco Molinari 80/1 (5dimes) Although he plays in the same bracket I really like Molinari. I know he just had a child but the way he played his last WGC event in Shanghai was remarkable. Never took his foot off the brakes, fairway, greens and made everything.Great matchplay game. Stake 1 pt Louis Oosthuizen 100/1 (5dimes) Ever since winning the British he has been a better player. In this braket I give him just as good of a chance as the favorites, Mickelson and McDowell. Mickelson is playing five weeks in a row while McDowell has not played in a month. Neither of those two have impressive records at this even either. Stake 1.5 pts Dustin Johnson 40/1 (stan james) Most difficult bracket here with Woods, Casey, Ogilvy, Johnson, Els, Harrington. Even the lower seeds are tough in Clark, Day, Villegas, Haas...The guy making it through this bracket should win it all. Johnson was off to a bad start last week after incurring a 2-shot penalty out of the gate and never got it going. This venue certainly is condusive to the bombers and Johnson is one of the best. Stake 2 pts Martin Kaymer 16/1 (stanjames) Love Kaymer to prove himself this week after a mediocre effort in Dubai. Should also be an excellent matchplayer as he is very intimidating and seems not to have any weaknesses. Stake 0.5 pt Seung-yul Noh 175/1 (5dimes) Playing Kaymer in the first round is not ideal but I think this kid is a huge talent and has an affinity for desert courses I don't think he will beat Kaymer but if he can he might take the whole bracket.... Bobby Jones Bracket winner: stake 1 pt Francesco Molinari 16/1 (boyle) Gary Player Bracket winner: stake 1 pt Seung-yul Noh 33/1 (bet365) Sam Snead Bracket Winner: stake 1 pt Dustin Johnson 9/1 (stan james) Ben Hogan Bracket Winner: stake 1 pt Louis Oosthizen 17/1 (boylesports) 0-10 -11.5 pts
