Chalmers +125 over Lonard (5 dimes)
PETER Lonard, resigned to eventually having surgery on a troublesome shoulder injury, has been revitalised by deep tissue massage and is set to resume playing on the US PGA Tour this week in Hawaii. Bruce Young writing on Lonard’s official website www.peterlonard.com reports: “Peter is feeling a lot better about his health and his game than was the case when the Australian Open was completed four weeks ago. At that point he was concerned about a shoulder injury that had been bothering him for some time. “My shoulder is definitely a lot better than was the case previously that's for sure,” said Peter “I started hitting balls again on January 2nd and there has been virtually no pain in that time. I spent quite a bit of time out at the NSW Institute of Sport at Homebush under the care of Brent Kirkbride and had lots of deep tissue massage which I have to say I had not been all that keen on previously but so far so good. I feel really good about the way I am hitting the ball and am enthusiastic about getting back to playing tournaments again. Peter will play the first four full events of the season namely the Sony, the Bob Hope in La Quinta in California, the FBR in Phoenix and then The Buick at Torrey Pines before taking a week off.” At Christmas Lonard told Young in an audio interview that while his shoulder injury was not the reason why had played poorly in Australia this summer it definitely was something he had to address. “For me the best option is to see how long it can go for,’’ Lonard said “I’m 41 now and I have said I will retire at 45 so hopefully it can get past 45 and think about it then.”

Soren Kjeldsen (Tourn) -125 vs Michael Campbell (Tourn)
Fading Campbell, who is not 100% returning from a shoulder injury.
“My shoulder is holding up okay and that’s been my biggest worry over the Christmas and New Year period whether it will hold up this week and so far so good,” he said.
“I’ve given it plenty of rest and along with all the physio treatment I’ve had on it, I am feeling good about returning to competition.
“It was disappointing to miss the events in Australia but the good aspect is that the injury came at a time when I could take a decent period of time off.
“It’s still not 100% fit and I still have to be careful with it but after playing a practice round here on the Abu Dhabi course there was no concern whatsoever.
I like Richard Green -110 over Mike Campbell better, just don't have any cash at the greek to make this bet
