The trio of short par 4s from sets this tone; a run that finishes with the drivable 7th. The yard par 5 9th is a bit of a monster even accounting for the extra distance the ball travels. It has one of the narrowest fairways on the course and is protected by strategic bunkering right from the fairway up to the relatively narrow, angled green.
As well as trees blocking both the left and right of the layup areas. Water becomes a more prevalent feature on the back 9, limiting the length of your tee shot on the 10th fairway and protecting the greens on 12, 13 and the par 5 14th — which is the first of two back-to-back par 5s over your final five holes. The players will hit a tee shot into a fairway that slopes severely from left to right and is protected by large bunkers on the right.
Anybody able to see off this short but punchy closing hole when in contention on Sunday will have more than earned the right to add their name to that illustrious list of past winners. Conditions will largely dictate my approach from a statistical point of view this week.
With plenty of rain falling prior to the start of the event and little in the way of wind currently forecast throughout the four days, we should be in for some low scoring in the mountains this week. Thriston Lawrence won one of the lower scoring editions in recent years in with a score of and did so thanks to a superb approach display, ranking 1st in the field.
He complimented that with a top 20 week on the greens; an area in which Matt Wallace — who lost to Lawrence in a playoff — led the field. Rasmus Hojgaard did most things well when winning in , including ranking 7th in approach and 14th in putting; whilst Henrik Stenson in 3rd was the 3rd-best approach player that week. However in , the top 2 of Matt Fitzpatrick and Lucas Bjerregaard ranked 15th and 6th in approach respectively and were top 25 on the greens; 3rd-place finisher, Mike Lorenzo Vera ranked 3rd in putting that week.
However, they still warrant some level of inclusion. The need to position your ball well off-the-tee was strongly evidenced by Matt Fitzpatrick in and Rasmus Hojgaard in , who ranked 1st and 2nd with driver. Whilst leaderboards are typically littered with strong scramblers. Wallace was 1st in scrambling when 2nd last year, with each of that top 3 in the top 20; winners in , and all ranked inside the top 10 in scrambling.
Tree-lined Wentworth not only had plenty of form-ties but ranked closely to Crans in many areas from a statistical point of view. Showing similar numbers both from a ball-striking and short-game perspective. Much like Crans, this tree-lined course has similarly average rankings in most aspects of play and there are plenty of form-ties to boot, which were further strengthened by the South African this year.
Rasmus Hojgaard has won both events, whilst Bernd Wiesberger — a two-time winner at HimmerLand — has two top 10s at Crans; including finishing 2nd in Bradley Dredge has twice finished runner-up in Denmark; other former European Masters winners, David Lipsky and Richie Ramsay have finished 3rd and Crans runner-up Kalle Samooja has finished 2nd and 4th.
Though a much longer course, the Nedbank Challenge at Gary Player CC is one of few other courses where players have to take altitude and that extra distance the ball travels into account. This tree-lined course provides the similarly demanding yet still scorable test that players will face this week and ranks closely to Crans in most areas.
Lorenzo Gagli won there on the Challenge Tour in and finished runner-up here in ; Kenya Open winner, Ashun Wu has two top 10s here. European masters golf betting tips Thriston Lawrence was 2nd in Kenya last year and Kalle Samooja has finished 3rd there. There is set to be some heavy rainfall in the days leading up to the start of the event.
American and former world 1 amateur, Justin Suh makes the trip for his first professional start in Europe and there are returns following five-week absences for Jordan Smith, Joost Luiten, Daniel Hillier and Richie Ramsay. Alexander Bjork continues to play excellent golf and with the strength of his approach play and putting he should go well.
He started his year in the best possible way by winning his third DP World Tour title and second in seven months in Abu Dhabi. After finishing top 10 in Italy in May and following with a 12th in the PGA Championship on his following start — his best ever major finish — he looked a particularly strong candidate for a Ryder Cup spot.
Unfortunately, his form has slipped since then; missing three cuts in his last eight starts, withdrawing at Galgorm two weeks ago and until last week, had a best of 18th in the BMW International Open as his best finish during that period. Having said that, Perez is arguably going through his best run of ball-striking performances this year and it was this area of his game which engineered his strong performance last week; as he led the field in greens-in-regulation and ranked top 20 both in approach and off-the-tee.
He scrambled well too but was let down by the putter — one of his biggest strengths in recent years. Indeed Perez is 25th on the greens this year; a stat that is only bettered by his ranking of 13th OTT. In addition, his irons have looked in excellent shape over the last month and a bit; gaining strokes in each of his last four starts and six of his last eight.
Card payments only. The fairways are pretty generous, so that tends to favour players who can be a bit erratic off the tee, but know how to make birdies. So Thorbjorn Olesen immediately springs to mind. His winning score in all seven of his Tour wins has been ten under par or better - it was 24 under when he won in Thailand earlier this year.
The former Ryder Cup player had to settle for a share of 11th last week despite finishing 15 under. But he can be backed at , and if the birdies continue to flow he could make those odds look pretty generous. He was runner-up at Crans way back in 20o6 and has played well here in the last two years, so odds of look reasonable. New customers only. Free bet stakes not included in returns.

Rasmus suffered a blip after claiming his fourth DP World Tour title at the Made in Himmeland tournament in July - but showed signs of a return to form last week, especially with his final round He was an impressive winner here a couple of years ago, powering home with a 63 on day four.
