Anyone who backed SEBASTIAN MUNOZ on Thursday may well wince at the mere sight of his name. The Colombian played beautifully for 17 holes, stood on the 18th tee at four-under, and then hit a pull into water which resulted in a triple-bogey seven. Worse, it meant for a dead-heat with Michael Thompson in what had for the most part been an uncompetitive three-ball.
Still, given that Brian Gay shot 80, I am surprised the prices within this group haven't been adjusted a little more and that we can back Munoz at 5/4 to gain compensation. Gay really shouldn't be a factor yet takes up almost 25 per cent of the book. He's never liked Sawgrass, he has no chance of making the cut, and nothing he's done so far in 2021 suggests he'll improve by more than a few shots at best, and even that is likely to require one of his lights-out putting days.
