2-1; +3.80pts  (system plays: 1-3-1)

Round 1 play (4pts):

Anders Hansen to beat Chris Wood +100 @ SkyBet  WON by 3
Last week's 11th place was Hansen's third top-15 finish in his last five starts (Wood has one in his last five), so the Dane certainly has the form to contend this week. And with Hansen having finished ahead of Wood in 18 of their last 24 common events, it is clear which player should normally warrant favouritism in this matchup.

Round 2 play (2pts):

Joost Luiten to beat Marcel Siem +100 @ SkyBet  WON by 1
Hitting 15 of 18 greens in regulation and ranking in the top-10 for that stat, Luiten played much better than he scored today. I'd expect him to remedy that tomorrow as he continues his run of making cuts - he has missed just two in the last ten months. Siem is much less consistent, so I'll oppose him at these odds.

No round 3 plays.

Round 4 play (2pts):

Shane Lowry to beat Bernd Wiesberger -110 @ 5Dimes  LOST by 7
Wiesberger is a double-winner this season, but apart from his win in the Lyonness Open in September, he has just one other top-40 finish in the last four months. He is currently 17th after three rounds, but after double-bogeying the last hole and ranking 77th of 80 in greens in regulation so far this week, a 'bounce-back' tomorrow appears unlikely.
