Normally I do not like laying this kind of wood on a heads up favorite, but I really like this match up. Watney shot an opening round one over on Thursday morning. He hit 8/14 fairways and 8/18 greens in regulation. Cabrera Bello hit 10/14 fairways and 14/18 greens in regulation. Watney had a really good day around the greens. Not only did he putt well and gained 2 shots against Rafa, but he chipped in twice for birdie on the back 9 as well. These guys played early Thursday which fared much better for scoring compared to the afternoon rounds. Friday they will be playing in the late afternoon groupings which should penalize stray shots a bit more than the morning rounds of Thursday (assuming the weather will be the same as the day before of course). Either way these guys are paired together on Friday where better ball striking and greens in reg should be at a premium. All that being said, bottom line is Rafa really struck the ball much better than Watney from tee to green, and I think wins this second round match. I apologize for the long winded post but giving the logic behind why I made this bet.

Completely agree with you on Louie Round 1... That round could have gone south really fast. Watney played so much better than I thought he would on Friday. Lost by one.... Fritelli is hanging in there....
