The Tour moves to Qatar this week and lines up once again at Doha GC. This venue sets up in the usual Middle East style of wide fairways, big greens and an advantage for big hitters. Wind can be a factor on this 7400 yard par 72. Branden Grace is the defending champ.

---|---|---|---|
Alex Noren | 2pt each way 66-1 | Bet365 |
Finishing position: T41 Back Alex Noren Again |
Alex has had a torrid time with injuries of late but came back last year fully fit and duly posted a win. No doubt, he’s a quality player and he loves Qatar. T4 and T9 in his last two starts points to a guy who can contend this week. | |||
Rafael Cabrera-Bello | 2pt each way 40-1 | Bet365 |
Returned 22pts for T2 place finish!
Back Rafael Cabrera-Bello Again |
Many of Rafa’s best performances have come in the desert and, sure enugh he had a decent stab at the Abu Dhabi Championship. That’s enough to get us onboard this week and his Qatar record backs that up. Two third place finishes in five years is good stuff and we’re backing him to have another profitable event this week. | |||
Kiradech Aphibarnrat | 2pt each way 50-1 | Bet365 |
Finishing position: T52 Back Kiradech Aphibarnrat Again |
We’re happy to have a small nibble on the burly Bangkok resident this week. Aphibarnrat had a stellar 2015 and is keen to keep that going. The set up this week plays into his hands and eh can win on a course at the first look. We’re happy to dismiss last year’s T38 on course debut before he really caught fire. |
All quoted odds correct as of 16:30 on 25/01/2016. These are obviously subject to fluctuation.
