Anyone else see a lot of value in Kevin Na?

Great putter, probably the best desert player on the pga tour, Mcilroys health is questionable.

From my post last year on 2.25.09:

Outrights:

The mantra "fresh and peaking" has been my #1 guide to capping this event for years, from Day 1 through to the final, and I've not had any reason to abandon the strategy.


Alvaro Quiros(80/1) e.w.
- - Lots of game and a Nicklaus course that should be well suited . . . confident and rested, and a fine stage for saying his how-do-you-dos.

Geoff Ogilvy(25/1) e.w.
- - I think the things that have been missing most from producing higher finishes since Kapalua have been less than ideal Sunday venues and a little less focus . . . I see upgrades in both areas this week, and I'm an Ogilvyaholic who's won with Ogilvy four times, once in the desert, once in the match play, once for the biggest prize in all of sports, and once this year.

Outrights:

Alvaro Quiros(40/1) e.w.
Martin Kaymer(20/1) e.w.
Edoardo Molinari(125/1) e.w.
Robert Karlsson(40/1) e.w.

BRAIN GAY (+113) over KENNY PERRY

SIMON DYSON (+142) over SEAN O'HAIR

FRANCESCO MOLINARI (+127) over ZACH JOHNSON

 

[Stanley]

1st round play (2pts):

Hunter Mahan to beat Charl Schwartzel +100 @ Bet365 and BetFred [available generally]
Schwartzel is certainly in the better form - he won back-to-back events in South Africa last month - but that was in his home country. On American courses, Schwartzel has not fared so well: he has played in 20 events in the U.S., including five last year, and has yet to finish in the top-15. Mahan may be the underdog because of his indifferent form this year, but this is matchplay and this should suit him: he was the top points scorer on the U.S. side in the 2008 Ryder Cup and lost only one match in the 2009 Presidents Cup. In terms of this event, he has been unfortunate to be knocked out in the 2nd round both times, but last year was against a much better opponent in Rory McIlroy (he lost by 1 hole) and in 2008, he took Steve Stricker to seven extra holes before finally succombing.

[Tommyjay]

I'm placing my wager this week on, I believe, one of the most under regarded players of the last year or 8 months. Two time winner, young, big and long----

To win the tournament--
Matt Kuchar 71.00 sia

Last week he dropped out of ATT because of illness, and I'm hoping he's not sick still. This guy is going to rock and roll this week and I think he will take Boo's place on the Ryder Cup team this year. I don't honestly know why the odds are so long here, I guess no one thinks like I do.

Round 1 match/ups

Sim over Ryo -125=== Ishikawa is trying to play his way up to journeyman status. I'm astonished he's tagged as the 65th player in the world. Don't you have to do something outside of Japan to deserve this ranking. Sim is far better right now and probably forever.

Kuchar over Kim +120 I already said what I said about Kuchar. Kim is in a race with Boo to see who can fade into mediocrity the fastest. Kim has been reading his own press clippings. I'll take the plus here, gladly.

O Wilson over Jimenez -111. Anyone who's name is Oliver, and didn't legally change it when he turned 18, has got to be one tough SOB. He deserves a bet here. Jimenez recently won, shot his wad, I think. I can't recall Jimenez backing up a win with more great play. I could be wrong.

God I hope you are wrong here. Kuchars wins were in BS tournaments. He has no Ryder Cup or President Cup experience. Kim went up against the best Ryder Cup participant of this decade and absolutely pummeled him heads up. His 'A' game is heads and shoulders above Kuchars. Obviously he wasn't focused last year, but a lot of that had to do with injuries.
Not sure how you can say he is 'long', he was 128th in driving distance last year, 182nd the year before that and 185th the year before that.

Anyway, i guess thats why they play the game. BOL on all other plays

Good comments. I meant to say strong not long. My goof. I've been to more than a few tournaments and I can say without qualms, EVERYBODY IS LONG. It's surreal how much everyone just smashes the ball. I LOVE IT, IT'S FUN TO WATCH.

:mj07: :mj07: Totally agree with everyone being LONG. I am 6 foot 190 lb athletic buld and can prob bench 225 15 times and i hit it an average 250 - 260.. I would be the shortest hitter on tour.. so lame. I think if I played these courses I would be hitting hybrids into almost every par 4 and 3 :sadwave:
