TD Waterhouse Championship
Outright plays (2 units):
Larry Nelson to win 20/1 e.w. @
Stan James
Just dropping Doyle from last week's selections and replacing him with Nelson
who had been a very consistent top-20 player this season, but did not record a
top-10 finish until a month ago at the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf. Last week
he was in contention throughout and finished just one shot outside the playoff.
Finished 4th in 1999 on only visit, so should be set for another decent week. Bob Gilder to win 20/1 e.w. @ Surrey
Looked like he could secure another high finish last week, but had a
disappointing final round after getting himself into contention on the Saturday.
As outlined last week, he had had three top-3 finishes in four events and looks
to be in good form. Top-10 finish last year as well. Jim Thorpe to win 40/1 e.w. @ SportsInteraction
or William Hill
Never got started last week and the weather delays wouldn't have helped him
recover his position either. Won the week before and has an impressive and
consistent record on this course, so the 20/1 on offer at Surrey had been
expected. Would have been a marginal choice at those odds, but not given William
Hill's and SIA's offerings!
Matchup play (2 units): Jim Thorpe to beat Tom
Purtzer -115 @ Five
Dimes
Another small play on Thorpe as he has three years of good performances on this
course against none for Purtzer and he also leads him 3-0 in the last three
events as well.
Final update: Matchups: 0-1; -2.30 units
Thorpe/Purtzer LOST by 2 Outrights: 1-2; +0.00 units
Nelson 2nd
Gilder 66th
Thorpe 11th Final round cancelled and that makes it twice this
season that a Senior PGA Tour event has had the 3rd round cancelled and twice
that a selection had been 2nd at the time! Disappointing.
