Outright plays:
Allen Doyle to win 16/1 e.w. @ BetSmart
or Stan James
[0.5 units]
Can find him at half those odds at Surrey Sports and
that is a better reflection of the Tour's player of the year last year. With 25
top-10 finishes from 34 starts last year, he will be an automatic selection for
some time to come at these odds.
Doug Tewell to win 25/1 e.w. @ BetSmart
or Stan James
[0.5 units]
Finished the 2001 season in great form. Failed to win, but secured top-4
finishes in four of his last five events. Creditable 8th place last year, he
should improve on that.
Dana Quigley to win 50/1 e.w. @ William
Hill [0.5 units]
Big price for the player who would have put in the most practice over the
Christmas break. As a result he usually starts the season very well - top-10
finish in 3 of first 4 events of 2001, in 4 of first 5 events on 2000, the first
three events of 1999 and so on. Top-4 finishes on this course in 1999 and 2000,
he could be the ideal start to our Senior Tour campaign.
Final update:
Outrights: 1-2; +1.88 units
Doyle 5th
Tewell 9th
Quigley 4th
Nice way to start the new
season. All three were in contention throughout the tournament and Quigley
secured a place win at decent odds.
