Between Green Bay and Iowa City
Outrights:


Alexandre Rocha(200/1) e.w.
- - European Tour Weekly special: "I love this week . . . Portugal is now my newly adopted homeland for European soil, so this is home for me . . . I love this golf course. I just love how it looks, how it plays, how rugged it is."

Steve Webster(40/1) e.w.
- - A genuine linksy look and feel to the Arthur Hills layout; strong ocean breezes supply the integrity to the course's defense, with many opportunities from the tee box when the defense is absent; that ticks some boxes for "the pocket rocket from Nuneaton."

Marcel Siem(70/1) e.w.
- - This wager makes it pretty likely he'll take a step back before any big bounce back.

Miles Tunnicliff(80/1) e.w.
- - My next preference because he's been tracking well for me for a while (although probably not this well), vis-a-vis many other names with claims on this event (but those other names just haven't been on my radar, so they all feel to me like even more of toss at a dartboard).

Pablo Martin(200/1) e.w.
- - Longshots appeal after I heard a credible report that the course is in poor condition, the members were still allowed on the course and on the driving range on Monday, and it seems they haven't been prepared for this event and have just stuck some tee markers and ropes up for it . . .MARTIN OUT TO HALT THE SLIDE | Sporting Life - Golf News | Live Golf Scores, Estoril Open de Portugal, Shell Houston Open, Tiger Woods ("It's putting things together and having patience. That's what people tell you, but nobody sees inside. I don't know - I work hard and wait.") . . . Can there be deja vu all over again when I missed out the first time?

Round 1 plays (1pt):

Thomas Levet to beat Gareth Maybin -110 @ The Greek [also available @ Stan James and William Hill]
Maybin is making is course debut and playing his first event this week since February; he should be no match for Levet who was in the top-3 after 36 holes last year and is coming off a top-15 finish last week.

Nick Dougherty to beat Gregory Bourdy +115 @ Boyle Sports [tie loses]
A best finish of 43rd this year is hardly the form that should give Bourdy a chance of retaining his title; he had missed the cut in his two previous visits so Dougherty - yet to finish outside the top-30 on this course - has a good chance of winning this 1st round match.

David Howell to beat Pablo Larrazabal -106 @ Unibet
A best finish of 41st this year and a missed cut on his debut this year; I can't see Larrazabal being much better this year. Howler showed some decent form last week from tee to green and should improve further on a course in which he reached the playoff last year.
