Outright plays (total stake per play: 2pts)
D.A. Weibring to win 16/1 e.w. @ BetInternet and William Hill
Good price for a player who ranks in the top-3 on the Money List and in Greens in Regulation, which are important around this course, and 1st in Top-10 Finishes on Tour. He secured his 13th top-10 finish of the season in his last outing when finishing 4th and has a particularly good record on this course: he won in 2003 and finished 8th as defending champion last year, when in 3rd place heading into the final round. He really should win more events than he does, but his odds should certainly be closer to SkyBet's offering of 10/1.
Tom Jenkins to win 28/1 e.w. @ BetInternet
With Mark McNulty withdrawing from the field, Jenkins (2nd) and Weibring (3rd) comprise the top-ranked players in Greens in Regulation this week. And also ranked in the top-5 on the Money List, Jenkins is certainly capable of earning his second win of 2005 this week. And that is certainly helped by his course form which has improved every year. In the four years that this event has been played at Prestonwood, he has finished 38th (2001), 11th (2002), 4th (2003) and 2nd (2004). It would be a very profitable week if that trend continues!
