Stanley will be away for a couple of weeks, so Chris will be posting the Champions Tour outright tips.

RESULT: 0-0, +0pts

Eaks non-runner.

Back R.W.Eaks 1pt e/w @66/1 at William Hill

This price also available at Paddy Power and Stan James, however they belong to the group of bookmakers still only offering 4 places on this tour. If those books could pull themselves out of the dark ages and start offering a competitive product then they might start seeing a bit more interest and turnover from punters.

Anyway, rant over, on to Eaks - I'm not entirely sure why he withdrew after two rounds last week, which is a bit of a worry, however I believe it is worth taking a chance at this price on a player who has made a bright start to the season including a 2nd at the ACE Group Classic and a 6th in Mexico last month. A new course this week, with the defining characteristic seeming to be length. That should play in to Eaks' hands as he is 2nd on the tour this season in driving distance.
