Portugal Masters Tips

Portugal Masters - Oceånico Victoria GC,Vilamoura,Portugal

15 October 2015 - 18 October 2015

Tip date: 12 October 2015

The European Tour returns to Portugal this week after a mini break. The usual venue is the Oceanico Victoria GC which has hosted the tournament since 2007 so plenty of course form to study. It’s a 7209 yard par 71 and is quite exposed and wide open with longer hitters having a definite advantage. Wind can be a factor but it’s a relatively straightforward course and low scoring is the order of the day. Alexander Levy is the defending champion this week.

Name	Odds	Bookmaker
Anthony Wall	2pt each way 50-1	Sportingbet TOP SIX	Returned 27pts for 2 place finish! Back Anthony Wall Again
We can see the newly rejuvenated Wall having a good run at it this week. He’s had a super 2015, retaining his card with ease. He’s been playing some consistent golf of late and his T9 at Woburn will have done no harm. He’s also got a really solid long term record in Portugal having made every cut at this venue since 2007 with four top 25s in that time. Well worth an each way punt.
Romain Wattel	2pt each way 40-1	Sportingbet TOP SIX	Finishing position: T22 Back Romain Wattel Again
We think the fast improving Frenchman is on course for a maiden victory soon. He’s playing some decent golf at the moment and had a good run at Woburn before fading in the final round. It’s not an especially strong field this week and T26-T3 in his only Portugal starts points to a reasonable prospect.
Stephen Gallacher	2pt each way 50-1	Sportingbet TOP SIX	Finishing position: T9 Back Stephen Gallacher Again
Poor Stephen had a nightmare at the Ryder Cup and hasn’t really recovered. He’s only posted one high finish in 2015 in Dubai. Interestingly, that was on a course where he’s had success in the past. He definitely has his favourite venues and this is one. T6-T3 in his last two starts here is great playing and if the wind blows he could be a real factor. A speccy each way punt to put it all together this week.
