Bobby Karlsson no longer playing yet being priced up by most bookies, would have fancied him on the back of some solid plays.
5/1 on Charl is an absolutely steal in my opinion.
Took Otto at 33/1 as well, solid player in solid form.

Charl lives near by and also grew up playing the course and has never won his home open. Will be very pumped for this.
Added Fichardt at 50/1 - Hits fways and greens and the course is short and relies on accuracy. |

gday dubai. i remember you from last south african swing, when people were debating whether charl should be this short at the alfred dunhill. it was an absolute train.
hope you havnt been backing charl since :) |

Well dear friends, here we are again at the start of a brand, spanking, new Euro Tour.
Yes indeedy Charl seems to be the standout participant this week. Not too sure I'd describe my good friend Hennie as a solid player in solid form, but each to their own, as alterboy said to the priest !  |

Charl is to these events what Adam is to the Aussie events. Charl with savers on the other faves is a pretty safe way to go.

ok. time to pick the guy/s who will have random dudes back them into oblivion pre off/just off like dusty and fowler for no reason when they could have had their fill all week prior.
my prediction is ross fisher into 11's pre off  |

All in all, a very embarrassing week for South African golf, which is a shame.
Defending champ pulls out, which I guess is understandable. Sir Bob pulls out. Not sure why. But more to the point. Where the feck are all of these so called world class South African golfers ? Only Charl can be bothered. Els, Sterne, Oostie, Grace, Clark, Immelman... Where the feck are you ? And if any of you are taking part in that mickey mouse World Cup thingy, which seems to have been utterly ruined, then that is no excuse. Rant over. Michael Hoey 90/1 E/W Robert Rock 110/1 E/W Good luck. |

In the South African Open this week it was a case of getting on early with the home players as judging by the early prices the layers had underestimated them. I thought long and hard about Hennie Otto and Darren Fichardt but in the end went for Jaco van Zyl and Garth Mulroy.
Mulroy was my first bet and I got on early at 66/1 as although he played poorly in Dubai last week before that he was in great nick with a 6th in the Dunhill Links and top twenty finishes in China and Turkey. He has played in 23 co-sanctioned European events in his homeland and has a 26% top five strike rate and a win in the 2011 Alfred Dunhill Championship. That win at Leopard Creek could be a good pointer as it seems to be a similar parkland course here at Glendower.He came close to landing the spoils for us in the Italian Open in 2012 (another parkland track) and whilst the early 66/1 disappeared 50/1 is still value 0.5 ew Jaco van Zyl has been well backed from the early 50/1 (though he has drifted out on Betfair now). I am expecting a return to his homeland to rekindle some form - hopefully to the level that he showed earlier this year when he went on a spree finishing 2/1/w/1/1. In his last twelve co-sanctioned events at home he has managed no fewer than five top five finishes. I am expecting a bold showing and am glad to be holding the 50/1 ticket 0.5 ew I have also gone for a couple of European players above the lower rated home players - firstly Robert Rock. He has endured a poor season mainly for personal reasons but he did finish 2nd in Ireland. He is a two time winner in recent years - his first one came in Italy on a parkland course and he has a fairly good long term record in South Africa - especially at Leopard Creek 0.25 ew 110/1 Lastly I cannot leave out Michael Hoey at the price - we all know he knows how to win (unlike many) and at 80/1 in this field he has to go in the book. To be honest he could be putting his feet up for the year but obviously thinks he has a chance of further victories and as he wins on average once in thirty five starts the price is big 0.25 ew. |

£250 on Charl @ 5.2......£250 laid off @ 2.7 First of all I would like to thank Charl and all the little Schwartzels. Wee Rory. The layers, without whom life would be a tad more difficult, and all my dear friends here at the Golf Forum, whose kind words and never ending support make this so worth while. I  you all !  |

nightmare, lobs a ball in the drink and gets hassled by someone in a buggy telling him to play quicker

He has messed about a bit on the back 9. Seen enough to think he should win comfortable, but far from his best.
