Bryce Molder |
Well this is one of those plays that we think is worth a very small play just due to Molders' form in Florida at this time of year.Last year he won on the Nationwide Tour in October in Florida and was 5th in the same event back in 04.A lot was expected of Molder when he first arrived on the scene but he has never really delivered and things have been the same this year btu he has made 4 out of his last 5 cuts and was 4th after rd 1 in last weeks Florida event. |

Peter Tomasulo |
Its difficult to get excited about this limited field end of season event especially when prices are all pretty much of a muchness but we will have a small punt on local lad Tomasulo who will be one of a few with course form.
Although he has been out of form he has said he cannot wait to play here at Barona again where he won a big end of season college event back in 2002. |

Brittany Lang |
A lot was expected of Lang in the last few years but she has failed to deliver on the promise although she has managed 2 4th place finishes this season.
She does seem to like it when the LPGA tour hits the Far East last season she went 6/25/3 the last result on this course and this year she has finished 31/11.This is a weak field and she is worth a decent play in the place part of the bet. |

Some of you might have been with us when we tipped Yang at 350/1 a year ago and won! Well here we go again and this time slightly bigger odds! To be honest he has struggled since that life changing win but his form has improved over the last month including 2nd on his return to Korea.His 21st in Mallorca looks distictly average but that included a quad bogey in round 2 and in this limited field these prices are just too big. |

Beckman is a really strong pick this week having secured his tour card with finishes of 3rd and 5th in the last month.He does seem to really like this time of year - last year he went 4/4 on the nationwide tour and added a 4th at the Q school,
we cannot forget his 4th here in 2004 and his one tour victory interestingly came in the last event of the year on the 2001 season |

We will take a risk on veteran Calc who withdrew from last weeks event citing vertgio when it was clear he was going to miss the cut.We are not coninved about this so-called injury and would not be surprised if he sprung back to life here where he has finished 6/8/9 in the last 3 years.If it weren't for last week he would probably be amongst the favourites here. |

Whilst Archer hasn't won yet this season he has finished 2nd three times but we wouldn't say he has ever bottled it.His record in Spain has been really good in the last 2 years with a 2nd and 3rd and he was 9th here last season despite a 3rd round 77.That finish last season confirms our thoughts he likes Trent-Jones Snr as he won in Geneva on one of his courses on the Challenge tour. |

We would like to go for a bigger bet on Forsyth but he really does struggle to cross the finishing line.He has come close quite often this season - even last week with new caddy on the bag Renwick (Vijay Singhs old one) he managed to come 4th in Mallorca.Perhaps his new man on the bag can coax him over the line this week - he should have done in 2004 on his last visit here when a final round 74 saw him drop backt to 3rd. |

First of all we cannot see how a player who has won twice this season on the European tour can be this big a price - we had him in at half these odds. Whilst this is his first time here at Valderama we believe the course should suit his style of play,he seems to prefer a stern test of golf and his record at similar courses is really rather good |

Surprised to see such a big price about the Dane who returns fron the PGA tour this week largely due to his win at Wentworth for the second time earlier this year and he was also 4th in Germany.Whilst his record here is not exceptional he was 3rd here in 03 with a round to play and these odds just seem on the big side to us. |

We have looked at many of the local Asian players and local Singapore player Mamat is our final choice as we know he can compete with the better players from around the world. He won in Singapore in 2005 and his accurate game is well suited to the narrow Senosa course.If he can recapture the form which saw him finish 2nd in Wales this year then he could go close back in his homeland. |

A fairly impressive line up at the top of the market but we are sure that some of them are just there for the money so we will look at those who play the Asian tour regularly.Aussie Strange played here really well last year being jt leader for the 1st 2 rounds even with a bad back but he succumbed to that injury in the 3rd and final rd.He has won twice on the Asian tour and recently his visits to Europe have been solid - leading in Scandinavia and finishing 10th at the Dunhill. |

He needs a good finish to regain his card for next season and his form has been improving of late with some very good stats |

Again he is not a great finisher of events but his long term form in his homeland is very sound and he is worth a punt. |

Tom Kite |
We are surprised that Kite has drifted so far in the betting of Champions tour events,sure his form in general run of the mill events has been poor but in Majors he still does well - his last few have been 9/4/2/7/22/4 and still maintains a strike rate of 1 in 3 top 5 finishes.Whilst no-one has any course form Kite will know it better than most as he has been redesigning the second course at this venue. |

Why pick a guy who has missed his last 6 cuts we hear you cry?! Well it's simply his 1st round scores at this time of year,in Texas and Lacantera in paricular - no matter what his current form that gives us hope.In the last 3 years he has started 61/64/65 and been 1/5/3 - enough said we think. |

The South African should feel fairly at home this week as he has been playing lots of links golf at home of late - especially when winning on the very tough new St Francis Links last week.He started really well here last year and the year before was 7th overall and whilst a top 5 finish is highly unlikely, this category gives us a strong chance of at least a place at decent odds. |

Joe Ogilvie |
Ogilvie finally won a PGA main tour event in July after coming so close before - he then seems to have been enjoying himself on the celebration front by missing his next 4 cuts but his last 2 starts have seen a return to form and he was 7th last week with a round to go before fading.He was top 15 her in both 04 and 05 and that icluded an impressive 61! |

Maggerts' season started late this year after breaking a rib at the beginning of the year so he is now trying to make up for lost time.He has now been consistently making cuts and a lot of his best results have been in Texas and surrounding states and especially here at Lacantera.He has stated he has been playing well of late and we wouldn't be surprised to see him feature in a poor field. |

We have had to disregard our original choices for Texas as the prices weren't what we were hoping for so we have found value elsewhere.After a good 1st season on the PGA tour the Japanese player has really disappointed this year but following a visit back home he seems to have turned the corner with his best 2 finsihes of the year.He played really well on his debut improving with every round until finishing 12th |

Best bet of the week has to be the Dane who we are hoping can emulate the other Dane Hansen who won for us a few weeks ago.He has already had 2 runner-up slots this season and in his last 2 events he has gone 6/4 much as he did at this time last year when putting in a run of 4/8/6/18/6.He has never set the world alight in this event but every year he has got better and better and we mustn't forget his one Euro tour win came in Scotland. |

The young American really is a huge talent and if he hadn't have had so much pressure exerted on him in his short career to date would have produced far more wins.He has proven now that he can play lonks golf with top 15 finishes in 2 of his 3 Open appearances and he only doesn't have experience of 1 of the 3 course rotation - we are expecting a good week from him. |

We have been keeping an eye on Cambo of late as he has had the habit of climbing the leaderboard rapidly only to disappear just as quickly off the bottom but last time he stayed there finishing 4th at the Belfry.He is a decent links player and we are surprised he hasn't played this event more often - but a word of warning - betting Cambo is not for the faint hearted!! |
