Outright Picks - European Tour

Tipster: Stanley

Aa St Omer Open (1pt):

Peter Hanson to win 25/1 e.w. @ William Hill
Almost three years since he made a big impression on the main Tour with three successive top-10 finishes so he has competed at a high level and he has regained his main Tour card by finishing 5th on the Challenge Tour Money list last year. That was partly a result of finishing 4th in this event last year and in respectable form at the moment, he deserves to be near the top of the market.

Henrik Nystrom to win 33/1 e.w. @ SkyBet and Victor Chandler
In this field, it is difficult to argue against a player who finished in the top-20 on the main Tour last week. Still has a lot of work to do if he is to regain full playing privileges on the main Tour, but he has finished 7th and 20th in his last two Challenge Tour starts so he does have experience in these types of events. Should be very focussed on maintaining his good form from last week as he is getting a little old for a full-time return to the Challenge Tour.

Chris Kelly to win 150/1 e.w. @ William Hill
Much more speculative here. His does have course form having played in this event three years ago and he does have three starts on the main Tour, the last two being in the last three weeks. In the first, the Volvo PGA Championship, he was in the top-20 with just one round to go and in the second, the Diageo Championship, he was in the top-10 early in the event. He had been playing on the EuroPro Tour where he had finished in the top-5 in both of his appearances this year, both of them in May. So having already played the course and in promising form, he should be much less than 150/1.

Final update: 0-2; -2.00pts
