Western Open Golf .........

...... starts today, really like one 3 ball, Jonathan Byrd to beat DiMarco and Geiberger. The huge hitting, two time tour winner has recently returned from injury and has found form straight away, shooting all 4 rounds under par at the Booz Allen on his comeback.

JB likes the course and has averaged 69 in his opening rounds, beating Geiberger by 8 strokes last year and 5 in 2004. DiMarco is only playing in an attempt to find some form, the normally reliable New Yorker has missed 6/11 cuts and has only broken 70 once, in his last 16 rounds.

This is a long (for a par 71) course and this favours our selection, he is currently ranked 15th for driving distance, Geiberger 97th and DiMarco 166th. In reality this means, on driving holes, Byrd could have a 30m advantage.

3 points Byrd to win his 3 ball start 15.03 cet 2.50 victor chandler/ 2.375 general
