He ranks outside the top-150 in the World Rankings, whereas the level of Bradley's game can be seen not just by his win in Atlanta, but also his consistency: over the past five months, his finishes read 16th, 11th, 12th, 16th, 17th, 1st, 16th, 13th and 22nd.[unofficial rd2 system play: Simpson tb Bradley -150 (W)] Round 3 play (2pts):Bo Van Pelt to beat Johson Wagner -105 @ 5Dimes  WON by 2Wagner is the favourite in this matchup presumably as his three finishes this year have been 9th, 1st and 2nd, but he has never fared well on this course. In his four previous visits, he has missed the cut three times and finished 60th on the other occasion. He currently lies in 12th place, but he ranks outside the top-60 in driving distance, driving accuracy, greens in regulation and scrambling. In terms of the putting categories he ranks around 40th, so it is quite some feat to be playing so indifferently and scoring well enough to be 12th. He is clearly struggling around this course again and can be opposed with a player who has shown much better form this week. Round 4 play (4pts):Webb Simpson to beat Bubba Watson -125 @ Stan James [also available @ 5Dimes, Boyle Sports and Carib]Good odds for Simpson to fare better than Watson today, particularly when you consider that Five Dimes price Simpson -160 and Carib -170. Both players have looked good this week and could still put runaway leader, Spencer Levin, under a lot of pressure as they are both in the final group with the leader. However, their histories when in such a position are very different. Whereas Simpson has shot 70 or better in each of the six occasions that he has started the final round in the top-3 over the past 12 months, Watson's five previous occurences over the same period have resulted in final round scores of 78, 69, 78, 74 and 77. Only one of these two players is proven under final round pressure.[unofficial rd4 system plays: Leishman tb Jones -130; Frazar tb Noh -120; Dufner tb Chalmers -135; Dufner tb Stroud -150] http://www.tour-tips.com/PGA/pga_18h_matches.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/PGA/pga_betfair.htm result: 6-5, -11.51   LAY Keegan Bradley to a liability of 10pts @40  (i.e. stake 0.26pts)LAY Bill Haas to a liability of 10pts @38  (i.e. stake 0.27pts)LAY Kevin Na to a liability of 10pts @75  (i.e. stake 0.14pts)LAY Sean O'Hair to a liability of 10pts @70  (i.e. stake 0.14pts)LAY Kyle Stanley to a liability of 10pts @48  (i.e. stake 0.21pts)LAY Camilo Villegas to a liability of 10pts @46  (i.e. stake 0.22pts)LAY Bryce Molder to a liability of 10pts @70  (i.e. stake 0.14pts)BACK YE Yang to win 75pts @95  (i.e. stake 0.8pts)BACK Bo Van Pelt to win 75pts @80  (i.e. stake 0.95pts)BACK Robert Allenby to win 75pts @130  (i.e. stake 0.58pts)BACK Brandt Jobe to win 75pts @210  (i.e. stake 0.36pts) With the record Yang has here I'm amazed to see him at odds as high as these. Van Pelt has had a sluggish start to the year but happy to bet on him coming good at these odds. Having another go on Allenby and Jobe on a course where they have put in decent finishes before. http://www.tour-tips.com/PGA/pga_betfair.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/PGA/pga_matchups.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/PGA/pga_matchups.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/PGA/pga_outright.htm 1pt ew Spencer Levin @ 100/1 GeneralLevin finished last season in good frorm and has made a decent if unspectacular start to 2011. He opened up with a 62 last week, but was then let down by some poor scrambling stats over the weekend. He is a player I think will break his duck sooner rather than later on the PGA Tour and at 100/1 its worth taking a chance that this will be the week. Levin blows a 7 shot lead, but at least lands the place. 2pts staked, 26pts return, P/L +24pts  http://www.tour-tips.com/PGA/pga_outright.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/PGA/pga_spreads.htm Sell Anthony Kim over Stephen Ames 18H MB at 0 with Sporting Index for 0.5 Pts (AMES N/R)Two players with poor current form and poor course form (both having more missed cuts than Top 30's), but looking over the last year Ames has finished better than Kim in eight of eleven common events. In the last two weeks Kim has only beaten a handful of people so is in much poorer current form than Ames, and the prices could possibly be the wrong way round. http://www.tour-tips.com/PGA/pga_spreads.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/Euro/european_18h_matches.htm 2-0; +6.00pts  (system plays: 6-4-1)Round 1 play (4pts):Thomas Aiken to beat Branden Grace -111 @ Bet365  WON by 2Opposed Grace last week in the first round after back-to-back wins and he missed the cut, so will do so again this week on a course on which he has no experience. Aiken finished 6th here last year and has been in decent form of late. He has a 9-4-0 h2h record against Grace outside South Africa, so even despite any double-win-handover, Grace should struggle to beat Aiken this week.[unofficial rd1 system plays: Fisher R tb Grace -110 (L); Edfors tb Olesen -110 (L); Manassero tb Coetzee +100 (L); Choi tb Kaymer +130 (W); Finch tb Larrazabal +100 (W); Daly tb Fleetwood +112 (W); Drysdale tb Gagli +100 (W)] Round 2 play (2pts):Anders Hansen to beat Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano +100 @ Boyle Sports  WON by 2GFC had an unbelievable round of golf today: to shoot level-par on a windy day in the desert needed a lot of putts to be holed, so to shoot 66 was spectacular. That round gives him the sole possession of the lead, but given that he will have the pressure of leading from the front that will make tomorrow's round all the more difficult. The fact that he has done poorly when in this position previously will only add to the pressure: in the four previous times that he has held the 1st round lead, he has finished the 2nd round in 13th, 8th, 7th and 35th place. And with the wind forecast to be even stronger tomorrow, it should be a very long and tiring day for the Spaniard. Hansen also managed to finish the day in the top-10 despite playing in the more difficult afternoon conditions and looks to have the better temperament to deal with such difficult conditions.[unofficial rd2 system plays: Aiken tb Fernandez-Castano +110 (W); Hansen A tb Coetzee +100 (T); Manassero tb Coetzee +110 (W); Molinari tb Lawrie Pa -105 (L)] No round 3 plays.  http://www.tour-tips.com/Euro/european_18h_matches.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/Euro/european_betfair.htm result: 0-3, -3.06pts   BACK Hunter Mahan to win 25pts @26  (i.e. stake 1pts)BACK KJ Choi to win 40pts @40  (i.e. stake 1.03pts)BACK Jason Day to win 40pts @40  (i.e. stake 1.03pts) The long journey from California is a question mark for Mahan, although I think the price more than makes up for it. Sticking with Choi at not much lower a price then last week but with a number of the big stars from that field not playing here. Looking for Day to make a mark in an event which has been very good for fellow Aussie Adam Scott http://www.tour-tips.com/Euro/european_betfair.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/Euro/european_matchups.htm 2012 - 2 bets/1 winner (-3points)THORBJORN OLESEN TO BEAT JACO VAN ZYL  - 2 POINTS @ 20-19 (BOYLESPORTS) Olesen led a good field over two rounds last week and is improving fast, having practised in the Middle East. He has far too much driving power for Van Zyl, consistent but unilikley to be at his best around here ROMAIN WATTLE TO BEAT LORENZO GAGLI - 2POINTS @ 10-11 (VC BET)Wattel is going places, beat Gagli in Qatar last week and looks to be going forwards whilst Gagli, dubious in contention, is staying still for the time being.   http://www.tour-tips.com/Euro/european_matchups.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/Euro/european_outright.htm 1.5pts ew Mahan 25/1 SkybetMahan got his season off to a good start last week with a 6th place finish at Torrey Pines. He has shown form in the desert events in the US winning in Pheonix and skips that event this week to play in Qatar. 1pt ew Mark Foster 125/1 Ladbrokes (6places)Foster had an excellent season last year and could easily and probably should have won twice. He featured on the leaderboard during rd4 last week showing he is in good form and will be looking to improve on his 12th place finish here last year.   http://www.tour-tips.com/Euro/european_outright.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/Euro/european_spreads.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/Euro/european_spreads.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/SeniorPGA/champions_18h_matches.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/SeniorPGA/champions_18h_matches.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/SeniorPGA/champions_betfair.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/SeniorPGA/champions_betfair.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/SeniorPGA/champions_matchups.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/SeniorPGA/champions_matchups.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/SeniorPGA/champions_outright.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/SeniorPGA/champions_outright.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/SeniorPGA/champions_spreads.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/SeniorPGA/champions_spreads.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/LPGA/lpga_18h_matches.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/LPGA/lpga_18h_matches.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/LPGA/lpga_betfair.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/LPGA/lpga_betfair.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/LPGA/lpga_matchups.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/LPGA/lpga_matchups.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/LPGA/lpga_outright.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/LPGA/lpga_outright.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/LPGA/lpga_spreads.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/LPGA/lpga_spreads.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/WGC/wgc_18h_matches.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/WGC/wgc_18h_matches.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/WGC/wgc_betfair.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/WGC/wgc_betfair.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/WGC/wgc_matchups.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/WGC/wgc_matchups.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/WGC/wgc_outright.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/WGC/wgc_outright.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/WGC/wgc_spreads.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/WGC/wgc_spreads.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/Australasian/australasian_18h_matches.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/Australasian/australasian_18h_matches.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/Australasian/australasian_betfair.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/Australasian/australasian_betfair.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/Australasian/australasian_matchups.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/Australasian/australasian_matchups.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/Australasian/australasian_outright.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/Australasian/australasian_outright.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/Australasian/australasian_spreads.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/Australasian/australasian_spreads.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/Nationwide/nationwide_18h_matches.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/Nationwide/nationwide_18h_matches.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/Nationwide/nationwide_betfair.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/Nationwide/nationwide_betfair.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/Nationwide/nationwide_matchups.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/Nationwide/nationwide_matchups.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/Nationwide/nationwide_outright.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/Nationwide/nationwide_outright.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/Nationwide/nationwide_spreads.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/Nationwide/nationwide_spreads.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/SouthernAfrica/southernafrica_18h_matches.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/SouthernAfrica/southernafrica_18h_matches.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/SouthernAfrica/southernafrica_betfair.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/SouthernAfrica/southernafrica_betfair.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/SouthernAfrica/southernafrica_matchups.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/SouthernAfrica/southernafrica_matchups.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/SouthernAfrica/southernafrica_outright.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/SouthernAfrica/southernafrica_outright.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/SouthernAfrica/southernafrica_spreads.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/SouthernAfrica/southernafrica_spreads.htm http://www.tour-tips.com/AsianPGA/asianpga_18h_matches.htm Round 1 play (2pts):Tetsuji Hiratsuka to beat Zamal Hossain -120 @ 5Dimes  WON by 1[unofficial rd1 system plays: Marksaeng tb Junhasavasdikul -120 (W);
