1-2; -2.80pts 

Round 1 plays (2pts):

Wade Ormsby to beat Y.E. Yang -120 @ 5Dimes  LOST by 3
Yang has missed the cut on both his previous visits to this course in the last three years, whereas Ormsby has finished 40th, 8th and 42nd in the last three years. With similar current form, this is decisive for this play.

David Horsey to beat Peter Uihlein -113 @ Pinnacle  TIED
A much bigger form in form between these two players. Uihlein has  no top-10 finishes in six starts in the last two months; Horsey has three top-10 finishes, including a win over the same period. He also has four years' experience on this course - 15th last time - whereas Uihlein is making his course debut.

Cheng-Tsung Pan to beat Jeung-Hun Wang -115 @ 5Dimes  WON by 6
Pan is a player in very good form. He has won twice on the Mackenzie Tour Canada since July and since he has moved to the Asian PGA Tour, he has finished 12th, 22nd and 11th. He may be making his debut on this course, but has been doing in all his event this year and has been very successful.

 

No round 2 plays. 

 

Round 3 play (2pts):

Anirban Lahiri to beat Lucas Bjerregaard -120 @ SkyBet [also available @ Paddy Power]  LOST by 2
Very easy to oppose a player who is playing in the final grouping for the first time since the 2014 Alfred Dunhill Championship when, trailing Branden Grace by one shot at the start of the day, he shot 89 to drop from 2nd to 49th. He even shot 50 on the back nine. In the final group for the first time since that implosion will not be easy and it will not be made any easier being paired with Justin Rose - a far more dominant player than Grace. Lahiri just two furthur shots back in 4th, leads the field in greens in regulation and is coming off a 2nd place finish last week - he is should be a short favourite in this matchup.

 

Round 4 play (2pts):

Jason Knutzon to beat Simon Yates -118 @ Pinnacle [available generally]  TIED
Opposing Yates who was once a key player in Asian golf, but not for at least five years. Last year he made 5 of 14 cuts and this year he had missed the cut in all four previous events before this week's success. Inside the top-20 with one round to play, he can be easily opposed in this position given struggles over the last five years. Knutzon may be struggling to hold onto his Tour Card this season, but at least he has remained competitive in recent seasons.
