Presidents Cup · Sunday singles
The Internationals lead 10.5–7.5 going into the twelve singles. Three bets for five points, at Paddy Power’s prices.
Result: +3.20 points. Bridgeman beat Lee 1 up and Koivun came from 2 down to beat Si Woo Kim 2 up. Taylor and Henley halved, so that bet lost.
Presidents Cup
Matchup, Singles v Min Woo Lee
Won the Biltmore Championship last Sunday with a closing 61. Lost both his pairs matches alongside Henley, and is better on his own.
Presidents Cup
Matchup, Singles v Si Woo Kim
Unbeaten on debut, with a win and a half alongside Justin Thomas. Si Woo Kim has won three of four with Tom Kim, but singles is a different test.
Presidents Cup
Matchup, Singles v Russell Henley
Henley has lost both his matches, the second to Taylor and Conners from 3 down on Saturday. 13/8 is too big.
A 5–0 sweep in Friday’s foursomes did most of the work for Geoff Ogilvy’s side. The Americans took Saturday by half a point, but the Internationals still need only five points from twelve to win outright. The first match goes out at 17:02 Irish and UK time, and the last at 19:14.
18:50 · the nap
Bridgeman won the Biltmore Championship last Sunday with a closing 61. He has lost both his matches here, both alongside Russell Henley, and on Saturday afternoon the pair let a 3-up lead slip. On his own he is a different player. Lee has two wins, a half and a defeat, and evens underrates Bridgeman.
18:38
Koivun is unbeaten on debut: a 4&3 win on Thursday and a half on Saturday morning, both alongside Justin Thomas. Si Woo Kim has won three of his four matches, all with Tom Kim, but the Koreans were beaten on Saturday afternoon and singles is a different test. At 6/5, the rookie is worth backing.
19:02
Henley has lost both his matches, and on Saturday afternoon it was Taylor and Corey Conners who came back from 3 down to beat him. Taylor and Conners also beat Scheffler and Burns in Friday’s foursomes. Henley is 8/11 on reputation, not on this week’s golf.
Adam Scott at 6/4 against Patrick Cantlay looks big, but Scott was beaten 6&4 alongside Sungjae Im on Saturday afternoon, while Cantlay and Xander Schauffele beat the Kims 2&1.
These are three-way match bets, so a halved match loses. Prices are Paddy Power’s at 14:00 on Sunday 27 September. Stakes are in points, and all three are settled on the record.
