FINAL RESULT: 1-2; -2.04pts
Weibring/Thorpe LOST by 6
Quigley/Thorpe LOST by 5
Fergus/Nielsen WON by 5 Double-whammy on Weibring and Quigley as they reverted
to their former selves after such encouraging performances last week. Thorpe
only finished in 25th place, so it was not unrealistic to expect them to better
that mark.
Matchup plays (2pts)
D.A. Weibring to beat Jim Thorpe -102 @
Expekt
Both players have very good records in this event, but Weibring has still
finished ahead of Thorpe in each of the last two years and even though he has
been struggling with a shoulder injury, he has still finished ahead of Thorpe in
four of their last six common events. Weibring looked to be back to his
competitive best last week and, if so, he should easily beat Thorpe again.
Dana Quigley to beat Jim Thorpe +102 @
Pinnacle
Will oppose Thorpe with another outright selection who appears to have returned
to full health. Quigley can't match Thorpe in terms of course form, though it is
still very solid in itself, but when Quigley is fit there really is no
comparison between these two players. Even when Quigley has been feeling weak
and low on energy, he has beaten Thorpe in half of their ten common events this
year and beforehand, he had beaten Thorpe in 15 of their previous 18 matches.
Quigley looks to have his energy back last week so the latest set of medication
must have worked and that should mean a return to a Quigley dominance in this
matchup.
Keith Fergus to beat Lonnie Nielsen -122 @
Five
Dimes
Straightforward selection. Fergus has finished ahead of Nielson in seven of
their ten common events this year, in each of the last two years in this event
and closed with a confidence-boosting 69 last week in difficult conditions.
