PGA: Zurich Classic predictions

[crackerjack]

Tournament matchups
Bo Van Pelt -116 over Troy Matteson
Mark Calcavecchia -108 over Bubba Watson
Stephen Leaney -110 over Anthony Kim

First Round matchups
Paul Stankowski +1/2 Even over Bubba Watson
Daniel Chopra -1/2 -127 over Bob Tway

3BAll
Sean O'Hair -115 over Durant/Perks
Leaney +115 over R Johnson/Warren
Weekley +145 over Micheel/Hoffman
(I usually don't play on a player after notching a PGA tour win, but Weekley is playing well and I expect will carry momentum into the first round and then start fading late.)

Props
Will Jesper Parnevik make the cut?
Yes -220

I don't have time to go into detail and I apologize. This is usually more bets than I like to make on day one, but I see a lot of good value. I have two units on Chopra, the rest are for 1 unit (to win 1 unit).

Interested to hear if anyone else has any opinions on this tournament...

[crackerjack]

Lost two of my 3Ball bets (should have stuck true to my own rule of not betting on a player coming off a win...Weekley stunk up the track), so I am adding one:

Calcaecchia +115 over Matteson/Elkington

I really need Matteson to have a bad round and my records indicate him as a major fade in this tournament.

im using 5 dimes this time around. no 3 ball CJ. you can head to head in 1st rd as well.
5 Dimes

POW:

743 Fredrick Jacobson(-120) vs. Glen Day (for the tourn)

1st Round:

733 Richard S. Johnson(-125) vs. Paul Stankowski

[crackerjack]

I'll check out 5Dimes. Do they take US customers?

[jjgold]

yes

Does not seem like a strong field

Good day yesterday
+3.15 units
All three tournament picks look good
Van Pelt leads by 3
Calcavecchia leads by 6
Leaney leads by 1

Barring a huge collapse, Parnevik should make the cut.

Second Round matchups:
Wes Short Jr +305 over Toms/Couch (1/2 unit)
Pretty decent value. Short played well yesterday. I am still not sold on Toms for this tournament.

Carlos Franco +103 over Stiles (1 unit)
Richard Johnson -104 over Ted Purdy (2 units)

Be back with a few more from the second group...

[kalmikrazy]

POW (for the tourn):

743 Fredrick Jacobson(-120) vs. Glen Day (Pending)

1st Round:

733 Richard S. Johnson(-125) vs. Paul Stankowski (Push)

2nd Round

666 Bill Haas(+105) vs. Heath Slocum

CJ, yeah 5dimes takes US clients and they have a ton of matchups, just no 3 ball odds.

[crackerjack]

Found another great one:
Doug LaBelle -105 over Joe Ogilvie

[crackerjack]

5Dimes has a terrific selection of matchups. The main problem I have with them though is the line -- it's a 30 cent line. If you don't mind the juice though it's a good outlet. WSEX doesn't have much juice but they only have a handful of matchups and they take forever to get up. The greek has good odds and a fair amount of matchups.

.65 today
Jesper made the cut (barely) +1 unit
Franco/Stiles - push (freakin' Franco double bogeyed the Par 5 18th or it would have been a win...tough one to take)
Johnson/Purdy - loss -2.08 units
Labelle/Ogilvie - push
Shorty vs Toms/Couch win +1.525
Leaney vs Kim = loss -1.10

Two tournament matchups still pending...
Van Pelt leads by 2
Calcavecchia leads by 4


Be back tomorrow with some third round matchups...

Good luck

Good Luck!!!

Nice call on Watson, kalmikrazy. I should have quit while I was ahead - 0-4 today (including two ties that should have been pushes...might reconsider playing at the greek just to save on some juice). Two tournament matchups still in play but lost 5 units today. Hope to do some serious studying tonight and get it back tomorrow

[crackerjack]

Two I like today - 2 units each.
Calcavecchia -1/2 -112 over Maggert
O'Hair over Stankowski -1/2 over -127

Good luck...
