PGA GOY 20** Geoff Ogilvy -145 over Paul Casey. Reasoning: Ogilvy has traditionally played well at Augusta, and has finished ahead of Casey each of the past 3 years. Casey has struggled mightily this year and is still attempting to recover from an injury that sidelined him for the fall and early 2012. Casey has not made the cut in an event where a cut is possible this year (he played 4 rounds at the Doral WGC event but there was no cut). This is a strong PLAY AGAINST Casey rather than an endorsement of Ogilvy. I do think Ogilvy will make the cut, though... I think Casey will be 2 rounds and out or could even withdraw.
72 Hole Matchups:
10** Couples +115 over YE Yang. Couples is great at AGNC. Yang... not.
8** Cabrera -115 over Harrington. See above.
Props:
2** Aaron Baddeley Misses cut +145
1** Padraig Harrington misses cut +120
2** Tiger Woods 1st round under 70.5 (early tee time, low winds, softer and perfect greens)
1** Luke Donald 1st round under 70.5 see above
I think there will be some great 3rd and 4th round matchup values as I see the strong possibility of young/inexperienced players getting off to a fast start with soft conditions... only to come back to reality with the weekend pressure. Look forward to this tournament and any questions/comments you have.
