Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf (2pts):
Tom Purtzer to win 16/1 e.w. @
William Hill
and
BetInternet
Purtzer struggled on this course last year, but at least it means he is
at higher odds than when backed last week. He finished 6th last week,
having previously finished 3rd, 6th and 1st in the three events before
the break around the Masters. In that form, and with so many of the
leading players, bar Morgan, failed to produce any consistency, he looks
good value for this event.
D.A. Weibring to win 25/1 e.w. @
William Hill
and
BetInternet
Weibring is making his debut in the Legends as he was too young to
compete last year. It should be little handicap as they have only used
this course once for this event and like, Purtzer, he is in good form at
the moment. Take out his poor performance in the SBC Classic and his
last four finishes read 7th, 5th, 6th and 6th. Very consistent and
having won on Tour last year, he looks capable of converting this form
into title-winning performances.
Wayne Levi to win 40/1 e.w. @
Stan James
Levi is another in good form and attracts a good price as he is not one
of the name players on the Tour. Like Weibring, he won a Tour event
towards the end of last year and so should not be expected to fold if he
did gain the lead. He finished strongly to claim 3rd place last week
(his third top-6 finish in his last six starts) and also finished
strongly after a poor start on this course last year. With a decent
start, he could well be in the frame on Sunday.
Final update: 0-3; -6.00pts
Purtzer 6th
Weibring 26th
Levi 9th
Disappointing blank on the event. Purtzer had been as high as 3rd on
the last day, but finished one shot out of the places and Levi was a
further shot back.
