Ford Senior Players Championship
FINAL RESULT: 3-0; +6.00pts
Morgan/Reid WON by 13
Pooley/Pohl WON by 6
Weibring/Smyth WON by 20 Three outright plays in the top-5 and three
very convincing wins in the matchups ... not too shabby, I suppose! Matchup
plays (2pts): Gil Morgan to beat Mike Reid -110 @
Stan James
Opposing the winner of the Senior PGA Championship who followed his win
with a 3rd place finish the following week, but those were the last
occasions on which Reid finished ahead of Morgan. So with Reid having no
course form and Morgan being a former winner on this course and 5th and
9th in the last tow seasons, this does not look such an even contest.
Don Pooley to beat Dan Pohl -110 @ BetFred
A more even contest and certainly so in terms of current form, but
Pooley does have a considerable advantage of three year's course to
Pohl's none and this is a course on which, according to Allen Doyle,
accuracy off the tee will be much more important than length. D.A.
Weibring to beat Des Smyth -125 @
Stan James
Weibring has finished ahead of Smyth in four of their last five common
events and while Weibring finished 13th on his course debut last year,
Smyth has finishes of 51st and 48th in his previous visits. Looks a
rather uneven contest! |
