BMW PGA CHAMPIONSHIP - Wentworth Club,Virginia Water, Surrey,England

22 May 2014 - 25 May 2014

Tip date: 19 May 2014

This week is one of the highlights of the European Calendar and as ever a strong field lines up at Wentworth. The course is a classic parkland track and is a 7300 yard par 72. A number of changes have been made in recent years, especially Ernie Els’ controversial butchering of the 18th. The course certainly favours the longer hitters and the four par 5s are there for the taking. Matteo Manassero won in 2013 in a play off.

Name	Odds	Bookmaker
Paul Lawrie	1.5pt each way 80-1	Boylesports - Cash back if your selection finishes 2nd or 3rd	Finishing position: T21 Back Paul Lawrie Again
Paul hasn’t really got going this season but the signs are there. He’s in solid cut-making form and his T14 at the China Open shows he’s moving in the right direction. He’s had a 6th and a 2nd in the last three years here and the course obviously suits. If the wind gets up then he’s really in the game. We think he’s well worth a punt this week at a decent price.
Simon Khan	1pt each way 200-1	Stan James	Finishing position: MC Back Simon Khan Again
Sorry but we can’t resist a small punt on Khan this week. Fact is, whatever his form he can come good at Wentworth. He’s won here before and has had a string of high finishes. Last year’s T2 after a play off came following an extended break due to his wife’s illness. He’s done very little this season but if anything can inspire a punter friendly finish then it’s Wentworth.
Alvaro Quiros	2pt each way 80-1	Boylesports - Cash back if your selection finishes 2nd or 3rd	Finishing position: T57 Back Alvaro Quiros Again
Alvaro has had a torrid time with injuries over the last few years and is well on the road to recovery. At his best he’s a mega-long hitter, proven winner and a fearless competitor who can literally overpower a course. The par 5s at Wentworth are there for the taking and if there’s a venue where he can bag his long awaited seventh victory then this is it. His recent form has been good and we fancy him for a good performance this week.
