11-0; +2.48pts Pre-tournament plays: LAY 20pts liability Johan Edfors 220 45th Mardan Mamat 260 4mc Oliver Fisher 170 mc Shingo Katayama 110 67th Rikard Karlberg 70 25th Opposing Edfors and Karlberg whose prices are affected by the common knowledge that are both attached the Black Mountain GC and have residences close by. Edfors has struggled with injury over the past few years and managed just one top-25 finish last year, so would normally be very much higher odds in his year-opening event; Karlberg has played this year, but has a best finish of 40th and han't secured a top-25 finish for six months, so is another who would typically be priced much higher; Mamat has won a European Tour-sanctioned event but that was 10 years ago (2006 Singapore Masters), but he has made the cut in just 7 of his last 16 European Tour-sanctioned events and just two of those have resulted in a top-40 finish; Fisher is making his course debut has a best finish of 35th in six starts in 2016; while Katayama is also making his course debut and missed the cut in his only previous start in 2016. Pre-rd3 plays: LAY 20pts liability Thomas Pieters 48 3rd Pablo Larrazabal 190 45th Johan Carlsson 220 40th The odds are very short on Pieters for a player who is seven shots off the pace; Larrazabal is a shot further back, so is more realistically-priced, but he has never even finished in the top-5, let alone win, when eight shots back after 36 holes; while Carlsson is yet another shot further back and he hasn't even finished in the top-10 when nine shots back at this stage. Pre-rd4 plays: LAY 20pts liability Joost Luiten 46 6th Thongchai Jaidee 46 14th Marc Warren 95 19th Opposing three players who are outside the top-10 and six shots off the pace. None of them have ever won from outside the top-10 at the start of rd4 and with Jaidee and Warren, they have been in poor form in 2016.
