Matchup Picks - Champions Tour

|
U.S. Senior Open
FINAL RESULT: 2-1-0; +3.80pts
Haas/Stadler WON by 4
Jacobsen/Thorpe WON by 11
Quigley/Zoeller LOST by 6
Good profit on the matchups to add to a special week on the
outrights.
72-hole plays (2pts unless stated):
Jay Haas to beat Craig Stadler -138 @
Bet365
[4pts]
Still a big difference between these two even though Stadler ranks 1st
in scoring average on the Tour. Haas has finished ahead of him in all
three common events this year and is still far too good for this Tour.

Peter Jacobsen to beat Jim Thorpe -114 @
Expekt
Siding with Jacobsen in this matchup between two of the outright
selections. They should be evenly matched if Jacobsen is about 80% fit,
but there is far more chance of him being fitter than this. Together
with Haas and Stadler, Jacobsen represents the best opportunity for a
number of years for the Champions Tour to remarket itself with very
competitive household names.
Dana Quigley to beat Fuzzy Zoeller -110 @
SkyBet
Zoeller is cutting back on his schedule, which is quite the opposite to
Quigley who makes to maintain his competitiveness. So with no top-10
finish in over three months, Zoeller doesn't look the player who won the
Senior PGA Championship in 2002. Can depend on Quigley to keep trying
his best whatever the week.
