Arnold Palmer Invitational The Arnold Palmer Invitational is held at the newly renovated Bay Hill GC in Orlando, FL. The par 72 will now play 7400 yards. Many greens were moved and completely redone with Emerald Bermuda.
For the second straight week Vijay Singh has withdrawn due to back problems, and we know this must be taken seriously because Vijay who practices all the time and plays 30+ events would not miss any event nor any in preparation for the Masters. So, we'll definitely keep an eye on potential matchups against Vijay in the near future.
Anyone finding matchups with Sam Saunders who is Arnold Palmer's Grandson, let me know. He knows every inch of this track and played it more than anyone in the field with the new changes.
[B]Justin Rose -135[/B] vs. Kenny Perry
Rose's game is currently sharp. He was T13 LW at the Transitions, 3rd in the Honda Classic firing 67 and 64 mid rounds and he has a new Rosa putter in the bag that is working well. Rose who lives in Orlando, has sneaked away a couple of times in the past two weeks to investigate the new modifications. He also just played in the Tavistock Cup where he was looking in fine form.
Perry has not had anything to cheer about this season. His last four tournaments were T65 LW at the Transitions, T45, T53 and T33 in the WGC Accenture Matchplay where he was bounced in the first round. (As painfully as I do recall)
[B]Graeme McDowell -130 [/B]vs. Henrik Stenson
If you watched any of the Tavistock Cup on the Golf Channel, this is an automatic play.
McDowell fired one of the best rounds on the Lake Nona team on Tuesday and his game has shown solid ball striking all season long.
Stenson on the other hand put ball after ball in the lake and duck hooked the odd tee shot. He has played sparingly this season with nagging injuries and now he is expecting their third child very soon.
