Madrid
Open

Quiros, Inaki Alustiza, Carlos del Moral

Three
small bets on three young promising Spanish golfers. Sticking with
young players who should be able to cope with the heat of Madrid
at this time of year. The reason for choosing these three is that
they have won on the Peugeot tour in Spain this season.

David
Oakley

Whilst
he has not won since 2001 and turned 60 in April - these odds just
seem too big about a man running into a bit of form - 13th and 6th
in his last 2 events. But the key is his course form - despite his
age he has been runner-up here in each of the last 2 years.

Jarmo
Sandelin
|
Having
had so many players come close but just falling short we have been
looking at different angles for this week. This market looks particularly
interesting this week as it takes out 18 of the top 20 players in
the field.Sandelin has shown some glimpses of form this year and
his putting is still very good. He returns to a course where he
has never missed the cut has 2 top 10 finishes and was 1st and 3rd
in this category in 2003 and 2000.

This
seems a very big price for a player who reched the final in Dubai
and then 2 weeks ago the final on grass in Birmigham before losing
to world no 2 Sharapova in 3 sets.

James
Hepworth
|
A
big price for a player who has finished 4th here in each of the
last 2 years - indeed last years came on the back of 4 missed cuts..
He has made his last 3 cuts, had 2 top 5's in Central America earlier
this year and is simply overpriced.

Ben
Barham
|
Barham
has a very solid long term record in this event with 2 top 5 finishes.
He has been playing some very consistent golf on the Challenge tour
and has a very good record in these "co-sanctioned" and
smaller European tour events.

Francisco
Molinari

The
young Italian player could easily emulate the young Spaniard who
won last week in Holland.He has been playing consistently well on
the main tour this season and this drop in class could see him go
close at rewarding odds.

Todd
Hamilton
|
This
seems a very large price for last years British Open winner. His
form has been solid if unspectacular this year and although he has
missed his last 2 cuts he was 2nd going into the final day of the
Byron Nelson. The main reason for the bet is the belief that the
course will suit his play.Some players have likened Pinehurst to
the Mirasol course used for the Honda - an event Hamilton won in
2004 and then was 2nd for scrambling this year when defending -
an attribute of the game that will be key this week.

Billy
Mayfair

We
were saving Billy for next weeks US Open but sadly he has not qualified,
therefore we felt it best if we tipped him for this weeks event
on a course previously used for a US Open as they seem to bring
out the best in his game. He is also having a very solid year as
he lies 5th in the All-round ranking with numerous top 10's this
season. He could well be a value choice as a lot of the top players'
minds will be on next week.

Jerry
Smith

Smith
seems to have rediscovered his game this season with finishes of
3/8/29/43/24/2 in his last 6 starts. He put behind him the disappointment
of losing out in the playoff on Sunday by comfortably winning the
US Open sectional qualifier in Illinois yesterday. He does have
course form - he was 54th here 2 years ago - one of only 2 cuts
made that season - the other being at Vrginia Beach where earlier
this year he led going into the final round. Interestingly some
of his best PGA form was in Illinois also in the John Deere.

Jonathan
Lomas
|
Well
we said we thought he was "about to hit form" - but sadly
he missed the cut in Wales - but today was jt winner of the Open
Qualifier (tipped on SBI blog at 80/1!). This is sure to boost his
game and on a course where his accurate play will be rewarded he
has to be followed in a weak field.

Wilson

This
seems a very big price for a young golfer who has just finished
in the top 10 in his last 2 events - both of which had much stronger
fields. Whilst he has no course experience his straight driving
should be well suited to the tight course.

Steve
Lowery
|
Sometimes
you keep looking at a player and keep finding evidence that they
are about to produce a good finish and we think Lowery is just that
man this week.Two weeks ago he had 2 solid opening rounds to go
into the weekend in 5th, last week he was 7th in the All round rankings,
each round was better than the last, and if it wasn't for putting
it in the water twice at the par 3 14th on Saturday and running
up a 7 he would have been much higher than 17th. His course form
is fairly solid with a 5th in 2000 and he tied for the lead in 1996
after the 1st round.As he lacks a bit of bottle the bigger part
of the bet should be on the top 5 finish.
