Now I know you guys must think I am nuts for taking Tiger over the 2 best players on the planet right now - especially when they rank 1st and 15th in 1st Rd Scoring this year.... But my logic is simple. I think he wins at least 1, & maybe both. At least 1 win nets us nearly +.7u. And the main reason I am making this is the course. In the last 10 times this event was played, here are how the 1st Rd has played out for each of the 3.
-Tiger - 68.33 scoring average in 9 1st Rounds. 7 of the 9 he has shot 68 or better. Only once has he been over par.
-Scott - 69.80 scoring average in 10 1st Rounds. 4 times in the 60s. 6 rounds in the 70s, including 5 rounds over par.
-Rory - 70.20 scoring average in 5 1st Rounds. Twice in the 60s, three times in the 70s.
Even during the Open Tiger had a solid 1st Rd. He could practically play this course blind-folded, and in his presser he said he has been able to practice everyday since flying back from England. I am pretty confident we can get at least 1 of those matches.
So those are all my plays. I know I listed them fast, but this week got away from me a little bit. The work has been done, but I just did not get around to the writeups. But of course I will be around tonight and tomorrow morning to answer any questions.
Good luck everyone! Hope we are all able to turn a nice profit this week!
