Singapore Open

[Stanley]

Round 1 play (4pts):

Gregory Havret to beat Nicolas Colsaerts +100 @ 5Dimes
Backing Havret to beat his good friend, Colsaerts. Both have been in good form recently, but Havret's record of 3rd-11th-6th in his last three starts is significantly better than Colsaert's. Havret also has the advantage of having played in this event previously and opened with a 67 last year (albeit on the Tanjong course) before being forced to withdraw. Colsaerts, by contrast, has played in Singapore twice previously, missing the cut both times, and (apart from the China Open on the OneAsia Tour) has yet to finish in the top-10 in any of his 19 starts in Asia, missing the cut more than half the time.

Round 2 play (2pts):

Tommy Fleetwood to beat Tom Lewis -120 @ Paddy Power
Having finished 2nd in the season-ending event on the Challenge Tour last week in Italy, a relatively slow start could have been expected of Fleetwood, but he still shot 69 to lie 32nd, two shots behind Lewis in 9th. A better performance is expected tomorrow on the tougher Serapong course from a player who ranks 127th in the World Rankings, but is not even a member of the European Tour yet. He has already earned his Tour Card for next season from being the #1 on the Challenge Tour this year, but he has finished 5th and 10th in his last two European Tour events. Lewis is just as good a prospect as Fleetwood, but since his off-the-pace win at the Portugal Masters, he has withdrawn after the 1st round of the Andalucia Masters and finished 76th of 78 in the HSBC Champions. Fleetwood, via his Challenge Tour route onto the main Tour, looks to be the more consistent player.
