Andy Sullivan - top 10  - 4 points @ 6-5


Easily the the best value behind the world number one is recent South African winner Sullivan. Having proven that he wasn't scared of chasing a too-class player and then beating him in a play-off he played far better than his eventual 19th last week in Qatar. We were 'on' then and he was prominent in the top-10 before the effort told and he faded out if a payout.

 

This week he has looked undetered  playing with his heroes Rory and Kaymer and after winning the threeball on Thursday played perfectly well yesterday. The market clearly revolves around the best player in the world but despite his clear advantage he is just one from four when leading at halfway round here. Sure, he is maturing all the time but never be afraid of one player (both Schwartzel and Kaymer have drooped huge leads in the last month) and the quietly improving Sullivan makes appeal as a player who will not be fazed by any position he finds himself. Take Rory out and the target of 10 looks very acheivable whilst a top10 in an event where off-the-pace winners are rare looks very solid at odds- against should the Northern Irishman be just too good.
