Chrysler Classic of Tucson
Outright plays (1.5pts):
Jeff Maggert to win 25/1 e.w. @
UKBetting
Difficult to ignore form figures of 2nd and 10th in his last events,
particularly as he was much higher with just one round to go in last
week's Nissan Open. True, Daly can better that, but he is a very
unlikely favourite for this event and less than half of Maggert's odds.
He can also count two top-10 finishes in his last five visits to the
Omni Tucson National Resort and a runners-up finish in 1993, so against
this field, he may yet stumble over the winning line.
Hidemichi Tanaka to win 33/1 e.w. @
Bet365
Tanaka has threatened to do more than just stumble over the winning line
for the past couple of years. He had a run of four top-6 finishes in six
events in August last year and having finished in the top-25 in each of
the last two years here and also last week, this represents a very good
chance for the Japanese player to feature on the leaderboard again.
Brendan Pappas to win 40/1 e.w. @ SkyBet,
UKBetting
and
Totalbet
Pappas also came to the fore last year with a couple of top-5 finishes
late in the season. Against this field, that is rather impressive and he
has continued in similar form this year with top-15 finishes in the Sony
Open and in the FBR Open which was also played in Arizona. Having
finished 3rd last year, there is plenty of reason to expect that his
class will shine through on this course again.
Final update: 0-3; -4.50pts
Maggert wd
Tanaka 20th
Pappas 43rd
Not even close to being in contention. Very poor picks!
