Outright plays (total stake per play: 2pts)
D.A. Weibring to win 14/1 e.w. @ BetInternet and GolfingGods
Had a putt on the last green on Sunday to force a playoff, but it lipped out. However, he can put that right this week on a course on which he finished 6th last year. His record in California is very impressive with finishes of 6th, 5th, 7th and 2nd in the last twelve months and with eight top-10 finishes in his last twelve starts, he is clearly a player who should, once again, be there or thereabouts on Sunday evening.
Wayne Levi to win 16/1 e.w. @ SkyBet
Levi is another in a rich vein of form that has carried over from last season. Since September 2004, he has played in ten tournaments, finished in the top-20 every time, winning once and finishing in the top-5 four times. Even after a disastrous opening 76 last week, he shot 68 in the 2nd round to give himself a chance of a top-5 finish and so on a course on which he has finished in the top-12 on all three previous appearances, he is another player who should feature this week.
Morris Hatalsky to win 25/1 e.w. @ BetInternet
With five top-10 finishes in his last eight starts, Hatalsky is another who is expected to feature each week. He finished 2nd in very unfortunate circumstances in the rain-shortened Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am three weeks ago and was 2nd in this event last year, so will be very keen to convert his chances this week. Last year, he had tied Purtzer for the 36-hole lead, but despite shooting 68 in the final round, it was one stroke too many. These looks decent odds for a player with such a decent history.
