Round 3 play (2pts):
Ernie Els to beat J.B. Holmes -144 @ Pinnacle [available generally]
Opposing Holmes who, as one of the most erratic drivers on the Tour, should not find this course well-suited to his game. In that respect, it has helped that the fairways are wet, but he still only hit half of the fairways yesterday and if he continues like that today, he should find the wet rough particularly penal. He did play well last week at Sawgrass, but he is still without a top-10 finish in the last three months, whereas Els has won twice in the last two months and has six other top-20 finishes to his name this year. Els also sounded very comfortable with his game in interview yesterday and, unlike Holmes, he had a morning tee-time so had plenty of time to rest and prepare for 36 holes on a long, wet course today.
