H2H Phil Mickelson -115 in Houston vs Patrick Reed.
Phil was on fire yesterday at -6, Reed -4.
Phil is trying to catch momentum into the Masters. Great start. Reed doesn't have
a history at Houston, and is a young player, so at -115 why not back the guy you
know is capable of brilliant golf ? Phil hasn't had a good 2015 until now, but it's
barely April so I see no reason to fade him when he's hot again.
The course isn't very long, there are some low scores coming up so if it's the
short game that matters, I'll take the 44-yr old lefty over the young hopeful.
The odds for Rd2 seem based more on the original to-win tournament odds.
But if Mickelson ate up the course at -6 yesterday, why fade him today ?
Phil is now the dog, at -110, Reed -120.
i added a little more.
thanks guys. see what happens. best angle i could find for afternoon.
i trust Phil enough to bet on him.
I had Phil in round 1 didn't shoot so well on 2nd 9. Reed got off to bad start I think 1 over after 9 and started to get hot. I like his momentum to carry over today and I'm on Reed. Best of Luck!
cashed. Phil got only one bogey today, the 17th. He closed the day -5.
Reed was -3 until he double-bogeyed the 18th to close at -1.
Earlier in the day Reed seemed injured with a bad leg. I wonder if that
impacted him in the 18th or not. television went off at 6.
this could mean something for tomorrow.
