Diageo Championship (1pt):

David Howell to win 14/1 e.w. available generally
Not too many players in this field which inspire confidence in the outright market, though few are playing as well as Howell and he does have a couple of prestigious Tour wins to his name. He won the Australian PGA Championship by seven shots in 1998 and the Dubai Desert Classic by four shots in 1999. More recently, he has finished in the top-10 in four of his last seven events and each time he has been in contention he has shot 70 or less in the final round. Hardly 'bottle' form so maybe this could be the week with such a weak field.

Stephen Gallacher to win 33/1 e.w. @ Easybets
Since the Tour left South Africa, Gallacher has played in eleven events and made the cut every time. With four top-10 finishes in that spell, he looks to be playing well enough to be competitive this week. So add in his 7th and 5th place finishes in 2001 and 2003 respectively and these odds look mighty generous!

Barry Lane to win 40/1 e.w. available generally
Not really one for the outrights, but he has won this year already and he is returning to Gleneagles, the site (albeit on an adjacent course) of his first Tour win, the Scottish Open, in 1988. With just one missed cut since September he has been playing well outside his win in the British Masters and would have been expected to be no more than 33/1 this week.

Final update: 0-3; -3.00pts

A blank, but not without its chances. Howell had been 4th after two rounds, but played poorly thereafter, while Gallacher was as high as 3rd after 10 holes on Sunday, but he was over-par from that point onwards and lost his place-winning position.
