I have a strong fancy for the Americans playing in Qatar this week and expect big performances from both Boo Weekly and Brandt Snedeker but focusing on what is a long tough week on th US Tour with the event being played over 5 rounds on 4 courses and rounds taking over five and a half hours, it is somewhat of a marathon and hence we have a weakend field....

T.Clark 1pt ew @ 22/1 Bet 365, Skybet

(Played well in Oz over the Christmas period and another good finish last week, should see him go close this week in a poor field.)

S.Sticker 1pt ew @ 25/1 General

(Hasn't got the best form in this eveny but has been playing well enough and providing he brings half his game this week will be there or there abouts come Sunday.)

S.Marino 1pt ew @ 40/1 Tote

I think it is only a matter of time until he wins and think these odds represent great value for a player who finished 7th last week

K.Duke 0.75 pt ew @ 40/1 General

Slightly concerned about his winning capacity but had a great year last year and so no reason why he should not continue that this year and odds that represent good value in a weaker field.

DJ Trahan 1pt ew @ 40/1 General

Last years winner and has good recent form with a top 10 at Kapaula and should have been better last week except for a closing 71.

T.Herron 1pt ew @ 66/1 General

Showed signs of returning to form at the end of last year and was indeeed a selection on a number of occassions. Is more than capeable of winning and coming off a 12th place finish last week think he is over priced at these odds.

F.Couples 0.5pt ew @ 100/1 Ladbrokes

A little speculative but has shown great form at the Chevron World Challenge until a disappointing last round. He lives just down the road and knows the courses like the back of his hand and think at 100/1 he is worth an interest.

Top 10 Plays

N.Green 1.5pt @ 7/1 Skybet

Very unlucky last week when Green was up there all week until closing with a 2 over par last round 72 to finish 12th. I am prepared to follow him again this week.
