Apart from Adam SCOTT who has a very impressive record while playing in Asia (winning 4 times) must go close, although odds of 8/1 do seem skinny.
Victor DUBUISSON is hitting a run of good form over his last 3 tourneys improving each time. 27th,11th & a 4th place in the Malaysian, proving he can handle Asian conditions. Odds of a best priced 50/1 reflect the improvement this Frenchman has made this year.
The obvious credentials of the consistent South African pair , Jbe KRUGER & George COETZEE must surely be confirmed with further high finishes (of at least top 20 if not top 10s), as South African players seem to do well in Asia.
For a outsider, and for the inevitable Asian who will be challenging at some time, I am taking a chance on J K Mo (150/1 top 5, or 11/2 top 20) He had a 10th place finish here last year and boasts a 16th finish on his one appearance on the European circuit this season, The Malaysian Open.

What a poor back 9 from Kruger :x , 45 shots for 9 holes is almost as bad as I go around 9 holes in. Laughing

Well you did say he struggles to keep a lead when he gets in front. Maybe he is going to come from behind Cheeky

Haven't seen the golf today, but conditions must be very tricky if scoring is anything to go by.

Great pick so far Dave, all the best with Bernd, hope the pressure doesn't get to him. Mentioned him in passing last week in Indonesia, and noticed he was near the top, so did have half a look this week.

Hoping for Coetzee to go low in the final round as that will score me some points in the Betfair Comp.

forgot who I picked for b/f JW but probably nowhere...

backed wiesberger last yr a couple of times as he had a good spell of being near the top for a while.. be interesting to see how he copes with a big lead (defensive or carry on birdieing)

Hi,
Keeping my fingers crossed for Wiesberger

the way my luck has been going the past few weeks I wouldn't be surprised to see him crumble on Sunday. 5 shot lead is encouraging though.
Hopefully I'll be yodelling with joy tomorrow!!

Excellent tipping for Wiesberger,dleiper.Well done, hope you had a nice pick up ££££££. He looks a very good player for the future.
I am kicking myself, as I backed Ramsey last week, and ignored him this. Crying or Very sad

66/1 for a place would have been nice, but not as nice as your pick up if you got 80/1 for the big Austrian. Fingers Crossed
