Round 1 play (4pts):

Jeev Milkha Singh to beat Danny Lee -111 @ Bet365  LOST by 3
It was a good year on the Nationwide Tour for Lee - he finished in the top-10 in nine of 18 starts, including one win, and secured his PGA Tour Card for next season. However, he has come in for criticism because of his decision to play in this event and try and earn a place in the lucrative Dubai World Championship on the European Tour instead of playing in his home New Zealand Open this week. He had initially committed to play in that event, which is why he appears on all the promotional posters at Clearwater, but was a late withdrawal. That may, and perhaps should, affect his play this week. In contrast to Lee's record of missing the cut by seven shots the sole time that he played in Hong Kong, Singh has never missed the cut here and has four top-20 finishes in his last five visits to Hong Kong. With a first round h2h record of 8-2-2 to the Indian in 2011, he should be happier of the two with his decision to play here at the end of tomorrow's round.

Round 2 play (4pts):

Miguel Angel Jimenez to beat Alvaro Quiros -120 @ Bet365  [also available @ Paddy Power and Boyle Sports]  LOST by 1
Looking for Jimenez to defeat his partner from last week's World Cup. Quiros did finish the first round in joint 1st place but that is rather a surprise - his last top-10 finish was over six months ago and he missed the cut in only previous visit to Fanling. By contrast, Jimenez is a double-winner on this course and finish 2nd just a month ago in the Andalucia Masters. He lies just one shot behind Quiros and should play better than Quiros who has previously struggles when taking the lead in a tournament.

[unofficial rd2 system plays: Jimenez tb Yang -110 (L); Canizares tb Kruger -120 (L); Gallacher tb Horsey +110 (T); Cevaer tb Beck -105 (L); Green tb Lee D -111 (L)]

Round 3 play (4pts):

Jose Maria Olazabal to beat John Daly +105 @ 5Dimes LOST by 4
Both made the cut on the mark, but former Hong Kong Open winner, Olazabal, has to be the player to back rather than Daly when he has no chance of being in contention. Five times he has made the cut this year, but outside the top-30; five times he has failed to break 70 in the 3rd round and five times he has finished the day further off the pace than he started it.

Round 4 play (4pts):

Rory McIlroy to beat Y.E. Yang -110 @ 5Dimes  WON by 6
McIlroy slipped out of the lead today as he 'struggled to get anything going', but still battled back over the last few holes to finish the day just three shots off the lead. That is the mark of a player who has finished the top-5 in each of his last five starts (Yang has just one in his last ten starts), so I fully expect him to bounce back today. His record at this course reads 2nd (playoff loss), 2nd and 6th in the last three years, so that also points to yet another good round from the player who still leads the field in greens in regulation this week.

[unofficial rd4 system plays: Poulter tb Jimenez -125 (W); Cevaer tb Kamte -135 (L); Knutzon tb Karmis -111 (W); Randhawa tb Horne +100 (W); Lara tb Pagunsan -105 (T)]
