Random that no one has Scott Piercy yet.
Played at San Diego St. these courses fit his game perfectly. Guy is an absolute bomber, so the wet conditions won't effect him. Also a great putter..
He's probably playing as good if not better than anyone on tour right now.
Ill take him at Top 10 at 7.25

Last play.. probably :mj07:
Marino -105 over Snedeker. (72)
? Brandt Snedeker acknowledges his game is a "little rusty." The Buick Invitational is just his second PGA TOUR start of the year, and he's in the process of an equipment change -- moving from a TaylorMade driver and irons to new Bridgestone equipment.

Snedeker
"It feels pretty good," Snedeker said. "I'm trying to get used to that and get the right combo fixed up. ... Unfortunately I worked (so much) on my long game my short game is rusty now. So I've got to start working on my short game again and get it back to feeling good."
Not that worried about Marino's missed cut last week, it seemed that his putter was the problem last week.
See yall monday :SIB

Got a tip from someone ..
Not sure if 5 dimes had a line on him or not for 72 holes
But I got Watney +134 over Kraft and Oberholser for round 1.

Round 1 plays (1pt):
Jonathan Kaye to beat Robert Garrigus -105 @ Five Dimes
Opposing Garrigus who has missed the cut in his last three visits to Torrey Pines; that doesn't compare well to Kaye's finishes of 7th, 30th and 4th in his last three visits.
Brendon Todd to beat Peter Lonard -105 @ Five Dimes
Lonard could only manage a best finish of 39th in three starts in Australia over the off-season and he has not started the 2009 in any better form: two missed cuts and a 60th place finish in three starts so far. With Lonard also having missed his last two cuts here, the Nationwide Tour graduate should finish ahead of Lonard again this week.
Briny Baird to beat Ryan Moore +110 @ Stan James [ties lose]
Once again backing Baird in the first round. He has a 12-4-0 rd1 head-to-head lead over his opponent over the past 12 months and despite Moore making the cut last week (only the third time in his last ten starts), Baird should start the stronger.
Brad Adamonis to beat Nicholas Thompson -105 @ Five Dimes
With a best finish of 58th in his three starts this year and a best finish of 81st from two starts in this event, there is little to suggest that Thompson will shoot a low score today. Admonis made the cut in his previous start here and made both cuts this year, including a top-10 finish, so really should be the favourite in this matchup.

I have never wagered on a single golf event.
With that being said, I am tailing some of the info you guys posted and going with...
PGA Golf 178 Scott Piercy (1st Rnd) -115 vs Webb Simpson (1st Rnd)
PGA Golf 178 Scott Piercy (Tourn) -110 vs Webb Simpson (Tourn)
PGA Golf 205 Jonathan Kaye (Tourn) -105 vs Robert Garrigus (Tourn)

Outrights:
Charles Howell(28/1) e.w.
- -
Kevin Sutherland(50/1) e.w.
- - I've got "Howell on the brain", but this is the No. 1 name I've had in mind for this spot since the start of the season.
Pat Perez(50/1) e.w.
- - It is all about opinions . . . My first observation was that the "buddy factor" was on display last week when Charley Hoffman went close on the heels of Double Ps maiden win, and FWIW my thinking sees it as much more likely that the baton gets passed back to Perez this week rather than Hoffman simply driving forward. But is there a new and improved Double P, with a huge weight lifted from his shoulders, and can that "different animal" overcome all the distractions in this week's neighborhood, or will there be better opportunities going forward on the season? On the whole, with lousy prices the general rule in this poorish field, I see value enough. But I'm also still licking my wounds over not siding with Perez at the Hope.
Arjun Atwal(150/1 Win and 60/1 Top 5) e.w.
- - I owe him or he owes me, and this is one (more) candle I've kept burning. Now I'm recalling how eagles were doing the trick in 2006. Except for Sutherland, I think all four of my top plays this week are heavily dependent on what transpires over the first 27 holes or so.
Bubba Watson(80/1) e.w.
- - With Bubba searching for that elusive first win in his 4th season, I had him tagged as a candidate for a fast start in 2009, but was even more convinced that Waialae was a very poor opportunity for success. But IMO the early returns on the season support my basic hypothesis, and talk that Torrey Pines will be playing long, and confirmation that shaping your approach shots is a real key, makes this week a real opportunity for Bubba to brandish his sizeable potential IF his driving is up to the moment.
Rory Sabbatini(22/1) e.w.
- - Twce in the past I've been rewarded for investing earlier rather than later in his streakiness. I was on Rory last week and tracking him closely, and that there swing of his and his whole game still seemed a ways off, but he there has been tell tale resilience.
Troy Matteson(50/1) e.w.
- - One to watch short, intermediate and long term, and can tap into plenty of familiar karma on these ocean bluffs.
To confirm the bumpy and difficult nature of the poa annua greens, TheGolfChannel showed stats that last year's Buick had the highest percentage of missed puts from inside 3', inside 5', and inside 10' of any stop on Tour in 2008. Knowing how the old bent grass greens on my two home courses can roll crazy after heavy traffic, when crusty, or squishy, it's easy to see how those with California connections and prior coping fare best.
Matchups:
Sutherland(-135) over Curtis (Tournament)
- - Despite generally poor prices on outrights, I still found it difficult to trim my list, and actually added two plays fairly late. Assbackwardly, I wasn't conflicted about trimming back on the plays I had circled on my matchups sheet.

Welcome :toast: I like Piercy.. hopefully he continues to build off the previous 3 weeks.
Jonathan Kaye shocked me last week, dude had been off the tour for a while, in fact he was playing in the same local events as Agent.. and barely squeaking out top 10's
Thanks. Not expecting to hit it big, just making really small plays to keep me entertained :toast:
