World Golf Championship - Daily Matchups

Whats great about Round 2 in all golf tournaments? It's that the pairing for betting purposes is always the same as Round 1. Rounds 3 and 4 pairings are based on players with similar scores leading up to 3rd and 4th round. This is why I LOVE betting on round 2 in ANY golf tournaments. You can really see who played well against their playing partner in round 1and decide the matchup you want to bet on. Here are my picks for Round 2. BTW I was 5 for 6 on Round 1. Documented in the Pro Golf forums. 

Phil Mickelson ML (-137) vs. JB Holmes
This is by far my favorite pick of the day. Phil was having so much fun out there. Currently he’s only 1 shot behind the leader, so he will be gunning to catch that #1 spot moving into Saturday. When Phil starts draining his putts, its dangerous for the rest of the field. Round 1 he did just that. On the front 9 (he started from the back, so the front was actually his back 9) he had a CLEAN card. 4 Birdies and 5 pars. His shots onto the green were dead on, and of course his short game was ON POINT. If thats not enough for you to back Phil, lets take a look at JB Holmes. Holmes was actually runner up last year finishing 2nd behind Dustin Johnson. But right now, it doesn’t seem like the same course for JB. He had more bogeys than birdies, 5 to 2 and that doesn’t even include the double he had on 14th. 

Jason Dufner ML (-124) vs Robert Streb
I don’t normal bet on Dufner. But man after watching his performance in round 1, I just had to take him for round 2. For the day Dufner made a total of 190ft in putts. THATS OUTRAGEOUS. He had a total of 7 birdies, compared to Streb’s 2. This means Dufner really knows where to score out on the course. Streb played a very safe round. 2 birdies, 2 bogeys finishing even for the day. 

Adam Scott ML (-104) vs Dustin Johnson
Adam Scott coming off a win last week, played well. Could have done better. Opened the round with an eagle and then went bogey, bogey. So he did leave 2 shots on the course, leaving those easy par conversions. At that point his game changed. Started pin seeking, making par saves, and then finished last two holes birdie, birdie. Solid. Dustin Johnson, first off is not clutch. Also he is just too long for this course. Yes he can get to many of the longer par5 in two, but Trump National Doral is more about accuracy and draining putts. Both of which DJ didnt seem to have in round 1. Currently Scott(-4) DJ(E)
