Matchup plays (2pts per play)

Jay Haas to beat Hale Irwin -110 @ The Greek [Olympic]
Everyone apart from The Greek (formerly known as Olympic) making Haas a strong favourite in this matchup and with good reason. Haas has finished ahead of Irwin in three of four common events this year and while Irwin does have a good record around this course, that was a few years ago. In the last two years, he has finished 49th and 20th.

Raymond Floyd to beat Mike Reid -132 @ Five Dimes
This match was tied last year when Reid made his debut, but the imbalance in this match comes in their current form: Reid is playing very poorly. His best finish of the year has been 33rd in the limited field MasterCard Championship, he has yet to break 70 in fifteen rounds and has shot 74 or over in more than half of his rounds. Floyd will not be challenging for the title, but he has been doing enough to finish ahead of Reid in each of their three common events this year.

Scott Simpson to beat Dana Quigley +117 @ Pinnacle
Simpson has finished ahead of Quigley in three out of four common events this year and for good reason: he is battling constant pain in his right hip. Quigley may have been the leading money-winner on Tour last year, but this year he has yet to finish in the top-10 as he battles through the pain that had disappeared over the winter. He is relying on acupuncture and massage therapy to enable him to play and while it may work, it still means that Simpson is very good value at these odds.
