Round 1 plays (2pts):
Brandt Snedeker to beat Angel Cabrera +100 @ WSEX [also available @ Pinnacle] LOST by 1 Last week's one-shot loss to Cabrera was the first time since February (seven events) that Snedeker has failed to finish ahead of his opponent. With Cabrera missing the cut in his last three attempts at this title, a return to the previous trend should be in order this week
Woody Austin to beat Rocco Mediate -110 @ Five Dimes LOST by 6 This is the major most-suited to Woody and it shows in his record: seven previous appearances and seven cuts made, including a 2nd place finish last year. With Rocco's form starting to wane, he should struggle to beat Woody tomorrow
Sergio Garcia to beat Padraig Harrington -105 @ Five Dimes WON by 2 Opposed Harrington last week and will do so again ... as he admitted last week, he was a long way from where he needed to be in terms of his game following the off-course distractions of winning the Open again. And with a relatively poor record in this event - four missed cuts from nine attempts and a best finish of 17th - the value should be with Garcia in this matchup
Sean O'Hair to beat Miguel Angel Jimenez -101 @ Pinnacle [also available @ WSEX] WON by 4 It was an impressive performance by Jimenez last week, but his position in the Ryder Cup team should have been more certain had he not double-bogeyed the last hole. With a best finish of 31st this decade in this event, there may be good reason to expect Jimenez not to carry forward his form, so I'll back O'Hair who has a better record in this event and finsihed only a shot behind his opponent last week
Round 2 plays (2pts):
Jim Furyk to beat Anthony Kim -115 @ Carib [also available @ Bet365] Kim will continue to shoot bogeys with his style of play on such a tough course and the conditions will be harder in the afternoon with the greens crusting and the winds strengthening; Furyk should be more suited to these conditions
Steve Stricker to beat Robert Karlsson +101 @ Pinnacle [also available @ Bet365 and WSEX] Opposing Karlsson who dropped two shots when in sole possession of the lead yesterday and even though he finished the day tied for the lead, it will still be hard to play well when probably still holding the joint lead when starting this afternoon. He has only held the first round lead once since 2003 - the 2005 Open de Madrid - and he shot 76 in the 2nd round
