Darren Fichardt 1.5 points e.w 25/1 (Blue Square) or 22/1 (Jenningsbet who pay 1st 6)

Highly motivated and fully recovered from the tendonitis that has hampered him earlier in the season. A solid tied 2nd last year when and in better form this time round. Expecting a strong showing.

Sam Hutsby 1 pt e.w 50/1 sportingbet

A very highly rated 21 year-old former Walker Cup player who's well worth an interest at these odds having already posted promising finishes in stronger fields in Singapore and Spain late last year. Interestingly he was 4th ranked for putting at the recent South African Open proving he can handle the grainy greens in this part of the world.

Final play:

0.5 pts e/w Ulrich van den Berg 100/1 totesport

Van Den Berg was born in East London and boasts good course and current form. A proven winner on the Sunshine Tour, a win here would be a big step up and may just be beyond him, but at 25/1 a place he's certainly worth an interest.
