Philip Archer |
Archer has been playing solidly in the bigger events over the last few weeks but so far this season he has been at his most impressive in weak events with 3 top 6 finishes - in a poor field he really should not be a 3 figure price esp as he played well here on his debut when 12th |

From just 19 starts on the PGA tour this season the Australian has conjured up 4 top 5 finishes - of those 3 have come on par 70 courses on the other he was 5th after rd 1.It maybe a coincidence but this price is well worth taking |

Not sure why last weeks runner-up is such a big price this week - he certainly didn't lose the title and was top for GIR. Last weeks effort effectively secures his card and when he lost the play-off to Tiger for the 2000 PGA the next week he came out and finished 3rd! |

Nakajima has not played a lot of golf recently but what he has played has been impressive - he followed his 6th in the US Senior PGA with a 3rd place finish in a regular Japanese tour event.He has plenty of Open golf experience on links courses and his best ever finish was 8th here in 86.We saw last week in the Open that Japanese players can be competitive in big events and we expect him to play well. |

A possible future star in the making - the 21 year old German has been setting some impressive records on the EPD Tour winning 4 of the last 6 and shooting a 59 in the process - which he followed up with a 62! Worth a small risk for a top 10 in his homeland. |

A big price for a player who was 5th on his debut here last season when he improved with every round as he got to know the course.He seems to be improving on every course he plays this year compared to last year - a sign he needs to learn the courses and a 4th place at the European Open a few weeks ago shows he can compete with the best |

This event is still wide open with some dodgy players at the top of the leaderboard and we will go for a player sitting in behind who has played superbly the last 2 rounds. Out of the game for the last 4 years with injury this will give him a great chance to regain his card and in his prime he was far better than these. |

The youngster had a glittering college career but has started in the pro ranks at the bottom.He is on a bit of a roll at the moment - he had 3 top 10's on the Hooters tour and then won one of the bigger events on that tour by 6 shots.He then Monday qualified for last weeks event finishing top 20 to automatically get in this week - he should give a good account of himself |

His Open record is not spectacular but he has led before at Lytham.His game has seen a resurgence in the last 18 months and as he stands 7th on the Order of Merit he really shouldn't be this big. |

The Argentine is playing on invites and exemptions this season having lost his card so he needs to play well when he gets the chance. He nearly regained his card a couple of weeks ago but a poor 3rd round put an end to that but he did fight back well in the 4th.In 2004 an opening round 62 saw him lead here til Sunday - eventually finishing 3rd - worth a bet in this weak field. |
