Maverick Antcliff finished 21st last week which is his first top-25 since last year’s Porsche European Open. The Long Shot: Maverick Antcliff 175/1 with Bet365 We still don’t know whether this course is going to provide what he needs, which is a low-scoring, driver-heavy event, but it looks like it might. On the face of it, Nicolai Hojgaard is struggling to keep up with his brother in terms of consistency, but get him on the right course and he can be every bit as effective. The Each-Way Play: Nicolai Hojgaard 40/1 with Bet365 The Englishman has a lot of work to do to manage the latter, but with this event and the Portugal Masters coming up, he has every chance of doing just that.Īt his best, Sullivan is a Ryder Cup player and a four-time DP World Tour winner, and he will look to show that this week, in a field that is lacking quality, and where almost everyone has the same knowledge of the course. Sullivan has been threatening to do something big for a while now, and while he hasn’t had a recent victory, this looks a perfect opportunity for him to push up the Race to Dubai Rankings towards the season-ending championship. This suggests the Sullivan is finding form in his long game at the very best time, and he can make use of that in an event like this. That’s his second top-5 effort in both categories, in his past five starts. Last week the Englishman ranked 5th in strokes gained approach and strokes gained tee-to-green.
