Commercial Bank Qatar Masters Tips

Commercial Bank Qatar Masters - Doha GC,Doha,Qatar

23 January 2013 - 26 January 2013

Tip date: 21 January 2013

A solid field lines up this week in at Doha Golf Club. The obvious omissions after last week are Woods and McIlroy. The course is a 7400 yard par 72 with a winning score usually around -15. Wind can be a factor but the forecast is decent. Last year’s tournament was reduced to three rounds. Paul Lawrie defends. He looks a reasonable bet at the current 33-1 but we’re looking further down the list.

Name	Odds	Bookmaker
Thongchai Jaidee	2pt each way 50-1	Ladbrokes	Finishing position: T9 Back Thongchai Jaidee Again
Current form figures of 3-T9 from two starts this season plus a win at the 2012 Wales Open mark Jaidee out as a man to watch. Solid, if unspectacular course form (one missed cut from 10 starts) makes this guy a must bet at these odds. Bang in form, the course suits and we think he’s well capable of adding to his five tour victories.
David Howell	1pt each way 100-1	Bet365	Finishing position: T22 Back David Howell Again
David is a proven winner who is steadily getting back to his best form. After a big slump a few years ago he has refocused and re-applied himself. Five top 10s in his last nine starts at Doha speaks for itself. We’re ignoring last year’s missed cut. He had a good T6 finish last week which should have been so much better. He is approaching his best form and Abu Dhabi will have done a lot to shake off any rustiness. A solid each way bet at these prices and we can see a win in him in 2013.
