Scott 16th
Weir mc Struggling at the moment with this Tour. Scott had a good
chance to make up for his opening 76, but was always going backwards in
the final round. Outright plays (total stake per play: 1.5pts) Adam Scott to win

No course form, but with Quail Hollow having only hosted this event for
the last two years, virtually all of the field are still learning this
course. Naturally, the big three are dominating the market, but very
rarely have they all played together and dominated the leaderboard. That
makes Scott very good odds at 25/1, particularly as he is the next
best-ranked player in this field in the World Rankings (6th) and is
fresh off a very impressive wire-to-wire victory in the Johnnie Walker
Classic two weeks and was also a winner in the Nissan Open in February
on this Tour. Mike Weir to win 40/1 e.w. available generally
Weir is not too far back in the World Rankings (12th) and was the
defending champion at the Nissan Open when Scott when in February. With
three wins in 2003, including the Masters, when he was a contender for
the Player of the Year until the very end, he is tends to convert his
chances more often that his counterparts. After a poor start to the
year, though it included a runners-up spot at Pebble Beach, his form has
been much better recently with 17th in the Players Championship and 5th
in the Masters being his last two starts. And while his finishes of 18th
and 21st on this course are solid rather than noteworthy, it should be
remembered that it was his first event after winning the Masters in 2003
and it was only one bad round that took him out of contention last year. |
