FINAL RESULT: 0-3; -3.00pts

Kanada 26th

Hart 48th

Kanada and Hart did provide some hope of a payout, but only until the weekend!

Outright plays (total stake per play: 1pt)

Craig Kanada to win 40/1 e.w. @ Victor Chandler and BetFred
Kanada is a player re-born. He has been a member of the PGA Tour twice in the past (1997 and 2001), failing to register a top-10 finish, but he won twice on the Nationwide Tour in the last two months of last year to earn his PGA Tour Card for the third time and he has yet to be outside the top-20 after 72 holes in any of his four starts this year. With the emphasis appearing to be on accuracy around this course, a continuation of his six-month run of form should earn him another high finish this week.

Greg Owen to win 50/1 e.w. @ BetDirect
An emphasis on accuracy should also suit Owen who is a classic 'fairways and greens' player ... it is largely when he arrives at the green that the problems begin! But that may be of smaller consequence this week around such an impressive course as the Greg Norman-designed El Cameleon. And he did show a welcome return to form last time out, finishing every round inside the top-10 and ending in 4th place in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. I certainly wouldn't have expected 50s to be available on him.

Dudley Hart to win 50/1 e.w. available generally
Another player is far more accurate than long off the tee, so these selections have no chance if this turns out to be just a 'smash and putt' contest! With Hart the only concern is that he scratched from the Nissan Open last Tuesday. The presumption is that there is no injury (and no news of one has been found) and on that basis, he is one of the most in-form players in this field. He was never lower than 13th during the five rounds of the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic en route to finishing 8th, he followed that with a 23rd place finish in the Buick Invitational and was the sole first-round leader in FBR Open before eventually finishing 20th. That's very impressive form against this field and, again, this price was rather unexpected.
