Caltex Masters
FINAL RESULT:
1-1-0; +0.80pts
Jaidee/Atwal LOST by 1
Bjorn/McDowell WON by 7
Small profit on the plays to bring the overall event into profit. Easy
for the Bjorn play, but Jaidee and Atwal were battling for last place,
so not exactly what I expected!
Matchup plays (1pt unless
stated):
Thongchai Jaidee to beat Arjun Atwal -120 @
SkyBet
Atwal may be an outright selection and Jaidee's course form may be
indifferent, but he still dominates in this region. Over the last five
years, he holds a 30-12-3 h2h record against Atwal, finishing behind him
only twice in the last thirty months. If Atwal doesn't pick up a place
win for the outrights, he should finish behind Jaidee in this match.
Thomas Bjorn to beat Graeme McDowell -110 @
Pinnacle
[2pts]
McDowell is certainly improving as he plays more events
overseas, but he has played just one event in this region when he
finished 45th in the Johnnie Walker Classic last year. Quite
a contrast with Bjorn’s form in the region, so it is better so side with
the Dane in South-East Asia.
