Small profit to offset the losses on the outrights. Still a very poor event overall.

Matchup plays (2pts each):

Mike Sullivan to beat Bob Charles -140 @ Five Dimes
Strange matchup. Sullivan is a regular on this Tour and even though he is not the most competitive player, he did finish 15th in the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am in February, whereas Charles has yet to make an appearance on Tour this season and his last top-30 finish was back in 2004. Needless to say, Sullivan has prevailed in five of their last six common events, so deserves to be a stronger favourite.

Mark Lye to beat Bill Longmuir +102 @ Five Dimes
Will side with the part-timer in this matchup. Longmuir gained eligibility to play on this Tour via the Q-School last year, but has a best finish of only 46th in eight Champions Tour starts. Lye, by contrast, finished higher than that in his sole start this year and has performed much better over the last few years even though he now devotes more time to being an analyst on the Golf Channel. With course experience also in his favour, Lye is certainly the wrong player to have as the underdog in this match.

Larry Nelson to beat Ben Crenshaw -110 @ The Greek
This is a price based on Crenshaw's Masters performance and that is something he has not really been able to replicate on this Tour. He has finished ahead of Nelson just once in the last six months and has finished behind Nelson in each of the three years that they have played this course; on the last two occasions, the winning margins have been nine and ten shots respectively. Nelson certainly warrants further support this week with this matchup.
