The Perth International is a very difficult event to handicap with two top US players, a couple of top European players and a bunch of not so top ones and then the Australian players not out of the top drawer apart from Rumford. With that in mind I have kept bets to the minimum actually only advising a couple of round one leader bets on Ashley Hall 80/1 and Matt Jager 125/1. The latter would have been a bigger bet but an afternoon tee time on a notoriously breezy course puts me off. I have also bet Jager on Betfair @ 450/135/48 for the win, place and top ten markets solely on the basis that Lake Karrinyup was where he won the 2010 Australian amateur both matchplay and strokeplay. One round of the strokeplay was played @ Mt Lawley which hosted last weeks Western Australian Open where Jager was 2nd after the opening salvo so he is in decent enough nick but it is a tall order for a player who has yet to fulfill his potential.
I thought long and hard about Brady Watt who is one of the best amateurs in the world and playing at home he was worth a small dabble each way @ 150/1 but I fancy Ashley Hall could go well. He nearly gave up last autumn when funds were running low but a £35k win in the Alfred Dunhill links gave him enough money to carry on. He followed that up with a 17th here (6th after round one) and a 4th in the WA Open just down the road. After that he got a Web.com tour card and twice lost in playoffs to retain those playing rights. He led the Tour Championship the other week @ Sawgrass after round one so that's probably the best way to go with him with a saver on the outright @ 150 on betfair.
