Unusual play by me. Backed top 4 placed players in betting after round 1. Definite interest tomorrow morning. Must desist from trading for minute profits. New kid onthe blockfor Irelandand I have to confess it is a learning curve for me to find out more about him.

.

wot u smoking tobes?
wee mac's been around 4 ages now

9 birdies on the spin for Bernd ,missed a 10 footer for the 10th.

63,73 seems to happen all the time!didnt think prices correct pre 3rd round though!Bernd putting very streaky,Masters winner one behind and 100 2 30!Wrong!

Danny boy wombling a bit,could be tense finish here..

Lipsky 2 ahead with 5 to play and he doesn't look like making any mistakes. I backed Willett, woeful effort from him.

V poor,blaming the heat ,lol

27 putts already today

Shocking 2 foot putt miss ion 13

He has not looked focused at all. Lazy play.

Yes im on Weisberger and dannyboy,

His bodylingo is awful,didnt get matched on lipsky pretournament

Poor drive on 18 by Weis, this zoletti or lipsky fav now

Bird reqd fir playoff...

If his drive ok should get a birdie

Willett been pathetic.

Lost lead and all of a sudden no well.

Priced up like birdie a given!

Get it ready Fab....well played young man!

£25 matched at 530 Zanotti

Dannyboy shoots a 73

That put a smile on my face ............

THE 2018 MAYBANK Championship

Henrik Stenson, Dylan Frittelli & Andy Sullivan make their first visit
and maybe watch out for last weeks Asian Tour winner Paul Peterson in the Leopalace21 Myanmar Open - (29th here last year).

2018 MAYBANK Championship

THE TEAM.....
FRITTELLI
LEVY
STENSON
LIPSKY
Paul Peterson
+Yusaku Miyazato

Are you Chapman in disguise?

Good start by Levy & Lipsky - just 2 putts off the lead with Peterson & Frittelli another 2 back.

BUT Stenson backers wont be happy with his 72 (T95)

Our favourite Chinaman has left a lot to do this week just to make the cut - Li along with Danny Willett are T133.

Fritteli 8under for the par 5's and now your 3/1 fav from Jorge at 13/2

great course this..should be a blinding finale

33 players with 5 going into sunday on a course where Lee John shot 62 this week.

Should be a sunday shoot out

any1 about,cant go to bed with this on

s sharma shoots 62 to win easily,tipped up by plenty including s palmer.

also ben coley as well.

Misses out in Q-School back in November - then 21yo Shubhankar Sharma proceeds to win the Joburg Open (adds T11 in Indonesia) and now the Maybank Champion at Saujana G&CC in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (used for the first time last year). The third year the tournament has been part of the European Tour schedule with a prize fund of $3,000,000, it matched those on offer in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, so outside of The Masters and WGCs, it’s the highest purse up for grabs on the European Tour until May’s BMW PGA Championship.

Shubhankar - was also 9th in 2017 (so an 80/1 ew option for Coley in the Sporting Life) - "The last two months have changed my life. I’ve been a member on the Asian Tour for a while and I will continue to be a member on the Asian Tour. I’ve always dreamt of winning and now I’m a two-time winner on the Asian Tour and European Tour."
Sharma now qualifies for WGC-Mexico and The Open as he moves to the top of the Race to Dubai Rankings and becomes just the third Indian (after Jeev Milkha Singh and Anirban Lahiri) to win two European Tour events in the same season.

THE 2019 MAYBANK Championship
THE 2019 MAYBANK Championship

Another event from the 'wrong' time-zone ! (and not to be confused with the Maybank Malaysian Open).

See Ireland's PADRAIG HARRINGTON makes his debut at this particular event (and his comeback from injury, a broken bone in his wrist, he withdrew from the Honda Classic to give it a few extra weeks in a splint).
The 2020 European Ryder Cup Captain says he has "enjoyed this course in the past" - Vijay Singh beat him in a playoff (ffs) - in the 2001 Carlsberg Malaysian Open held at this course - Saujana Golf Club in KL previously hosted that event in 1999, 2001, 2004, 2005, 2007 & 2009 - now known as the Maybank Malaysian Open since 2006.

Jorge CAMPILLO first bet - in great form with a brace of 2nd's and also 2nd here last year - lets hope no one shoots a 62 Sunday and upsets jonny the trader

BOGEY AVOIDANCE (3 or 4 at most) is the key to this hot and steamy BIRDIE FEST !

A 2015 Ronald Fream re-design with new green complexes since Padraig set foot on here - Saujana Golf and Country Club is a two 18-hole golf complex in the Petaling District of KL - Par 72, 7,200yds parkland with both undulating bermuda fairways & greens. Palm trees line the wide fairways and features strong bunkering & water protection of some greens - Important for Campillo to acclimatise to the conditions too.

See JIMÉNEZ and ELS also make to trip to Malaysia (nothing in the US for them for a while).

There are two courses at the Saujana Golf and Country Club - the Bunga Reya and the Palm Course - and the tournament is staged on the Palm Course, which is nicknamed The COBRA ...seldom we feature THE SNAKE PIT and THE COBRA in the same week on TOUR ...and both in the 'wrong' time zone.

Andy Sullivan (No O') was 17th here last year, and 11th and 70th last two weeks... SOLD THE HOUSE TOO.
