Carlos Franco to win 25/1 e.w. @ Bet365, BetInternet, Totalbet, Paddy Power and UKBetting
Had been one to oppose, but the last three weeks have seen a dramatic
improvement in Franco's form. Top-25 in the Las Vegas Classic and top-10 in the
Disney Classic and Buick Challenge are worthy of attention. Has closed the last
few seasons in good form and should improve on his top-25 finish last year in a
very open event.
Kirk Triplett to win 33/1 e.w. @ Tote
Has been improving since he returned to competitive action last month with a
top-25 finish in the Las Vegas Classic and a top-15 finish last week. Has never
won outside California, but this represents his best opportunity. He has played
six times at Annandale and finished 4th, 2nd, 13th, 7th, 7th and 23rd in the
process. Obviously likes the course and could sneak another top-5 finish this
week.
Joel Edwards to win 33/1 e.w. @ Tote
and Ladbrokes
Edwards does not have the course record to match Triplett - he has yet to secure
a top-25 finish in six visits - but he is in great form at the moment. He hasn't
missed a cut since the Byron Nelson Classic in May and has finished in the
top-30 in his last six events, including two top-10s. Certainly playing well
enough to win for the second time in Mississippi.

Lickliter/Gossett WON by 5 Outrights: 0-3; -3.00 units Franco withdrew
Triplett 14th
Edwards 36th Disappointing end to the 2002 PGA Tour season. The final round
was cancelled and so wiped out any chance for at least the outrights to be in
the black on this Tour. Triplett was only two shots outside a top-5 berth, while
it was also frustrating to lose the double-play on Edwards when Micheel had made
the cut right on the mark. Sums up this year's PGA Tour efforts!
