Travis Perkins Senior Masters
Outright plays (1 unit):
Eamonn Darcy to win 4/1 @ William
Hill
My line is 5/2, so will take 4/1 on the newest member of the European Senior
Tour. There has been a lot of anticipation for Darcy's arrival and he joins the
Tour in fine form. He finished 6th in the Irish Open and 30th in the European
Open and that is completely out of the question for the rest of this field.
Looks likely to dominate this Tour for the rest of the season and will take
these odds against this field and against Ebihara who has a very poor record on
this course.
Christy O'Connor, Jr. to win 16/1 e.w. @ Bet365
Hasn't rediscovered the level of competitiveness on the Senior PGA Tour that he
had before he broke his leg last year. He was out for 11 months as a result. But
his performances on the European Senior Tour this year are in marked contrast to
those Stateside. Three starts and three top-3 finishes. Will gladly take another
this week.
Steve Stull to win 20/1 e.w. @ Bet365
Disappointed as a selection in the British Senior Open, but has finished 2nd and
7th in the two events since. Has won once this year and has become a very
consistent player. William Hill have priced him joint 3rd favorite and that
seems appropriate.
Final update: 0-3; -3.00 units
Darcy 47th
O'Connor, Jr. 9th
Stull 16th
Two blanks on this Tour this season. Darcy started well, but got
worse every round, while at least O'Connor, Jr. had a good chance of securing a
payout. Three bogeys in the last six holes ended that hope and he finished two
shots outside the top-5. Still think could be a very profitable Tour to wager
upon, but there are unlikely to be any further opportunities this year.
