Niclas Fasth to win 25/1 e.w. available generally
11th
He may have been a 16/1 favourite and missed the cut last week, but I'll take
the 25/1 on offer in a 78-man field for this event. That missed cut was his
first since May and there is every reason to expect his form to return this week
as it did after his opening 79 last week. I'd also expect it to return this week
as the Tour moves to Germany where he has good success in recent years. In his
last 10 events in Germany, he has finished in the top-4 five times, including on
this course, and won twice.
Bernhard Langer to win 28/1 e.w. @
SkyBet,
Stan James
and
BetDirect
27th
Of course, Langer's record in Germany dwarfs that of any other player and he is
a former winner on this course (2001 German Masters). And while his age may seem
to count against him - he made his Champions Tour debut two weeks ago - it
should be remembered that his two starts on the European Tour this year have
yielded finishes of 2nd and 3rd. He may be 50, but he appears to be still very
competitive on this Tour and particularly in his home country.
Anders Hansen to win 35/1 e.w. @
Stan James
46th
As a rookie on the PGA Tour who has tried to combine those playing commitments
with some events on the European Tour, it has been quite a successful campaign
for Hansen. He still needs some good performances during the Fall Series to
avoid a return to the PGA Tour Q-School where he finished 4th last year, but his
improvement in form has been noticeable most recently with some high finishes in
big events in the U.S and that augurs well for the Fall Series. But it is his
performances in his few European events that has really made this year a
success: he won the BMW PGA Championship for a second time in May and finished
4th in the BMW International Open in Germany a month later. With a top-5 finish
on this course previously, he could once again bring his improving PGA Tour form
over to Europe and be a serious title contender on this Tour. |
