This week’s event is the latest WGC event, continuing at Sheshan International GC in Shanghai after an absence in 2012. The layout is a 7260 yard par 72. The course favours players who can regularly find the fairways and greens. It usually takes about -20 to get the job done. Russell Knox was the 2015 champion.
Name | Odds | Bookmaker | |
---|---|---|---|
Bubba Watson | 2pt each way 45-1 | BetFred |
Finishing position: T54 Back Bubba Watson Again |
Bubba’s certainly a ‘horses for courses’ kind of player who can find form from nowhere on a favourite track. Sheshan is certainly that and he’s posted T8 and 2014’s victory in the last three years. For a player of his quality in a restricted field this price is too big to ignore. | |||
Patrick Reed | 2pt each way 33-1 | BetFred |
Finishing position: T60 Back Patrick Reed Again |
Patrick once again had a super Ryder Cup and seems to be on an upward curve. No doubt, he’ll post a major win in the not too distant future and add to his tally of tour and WGC wins. The course sets up well for him and T22-T7 is nice, progressive form in his last two visits to this part of the world. | |||
Kevin Kisner | 2pt each way 90-1 | Bet365 |
Finishing position: T70 Back Kevin Kisner Again |
Kevin is a fast improving player who has won on Tour already. He’s another player who can find form out of nowhere and he’s been playing some steady stuff the last few weeks. Dial in a T2 last year when in similar form then he looks a solid each way prospect this week. |
All quoted odds correct as of 17:00 on 25/10/2016. These are obviously subject to fluctuation.
