I'm sure that the betting odds on these matches will be put up on Wed. These are probably the windiest conditions the players face all year and the course is a hilly links style layout based on Scottish designs and designed by Ben Crenshaw. This course will favor a player with a low ball flight who hooks the ball (Justin Leonard, Nick Price and Loren Roberts to name a few ) Els and gercia have performed very well here in years past. I'm expecting a big year from Justin Leonard and may place a small wager on him to win here. Unfortunately he is matched up with Nick price who is also a good wind player who hooks the ball. We will look more at this match and the others when the odds are posted on Wed. JMO and Jeff Sluman will be players to watch here also."Horses for courses" is the thing to remember in golf wagering.
