Valero Texas Open and Malayasian Open Just like the Tour players we are on a bit of a let down after the first major of the year. It gives me a chance to go over the first quarter of the season, update my database and look forward to the next majors and the Players Championship in May. Although there is a very good number of matchups this week, I played only a couple.
Martin Laird -130 vs Bo Van Pelt
Laird tees it up every week and has the tools to win on any given track. He'll like TPC San Antonio which allows for plenty of room off the tee. Bo gave it everything he had at the Masters, eagled 13 and 15 on Sunday and with three holes to play was a shot out of the lead. He is not nearly as consistent as Laird and his mind set has to be on his chance of a lifetime last week = advantage Laird.
Martin Kaymer -120 vs Charl Schwartzel
As much as I despise Kaymer I think he will come to play this week back in the easier fields of the Euro Tour and protect his dwindling World No. #1 ranking. But, obviously this is a bet against last week's previous winner. If Schwartzel misses the cut he'll still be smiling.
