Adding to the pain of the Royal Lytham debacle is the fact that he is still winless this season. He seems determined to rectify that over the next couple of weeks in Asia, an area where he has generally had plenty of success.

 

 

Another who seems to like it in this part of the world - in the last 2 years he has won 4 times from 6 starts in Asia. Granted most of those weren't against a WGC strength field but with neither Tiger or Rory here the players a rung or two down in the rankings must be eyeing this up as a very good chance.

 

 

Not sure how he will adapt to the location, but he has shown a reasonable interest in travelling so far in his career with trips to Australia, Japan and a few different parts of Europe. Five par 5's on the card this week should play to his advantage.
