Trophee Hassan II

[Stanley]

Round 1 play (4pts):

Pablo Larrazabal to beat Alexander Noren +100 @ Unibet
Two players in very different form. Since the Qatar Masters, Larrazabal has finished 25th, 42nd, 66th and 20th; Noren has missed the cut and finished 61st in his two events over that period, averaging 74.33 per round. Larrazabal played here last year when the course was first used and was inside the top-20 in each of the first three rounds, whereas Noren didn't play, but he had missed the cut in only previous start in this event. On these bases, Larrazabal shouldn't be the underdog.

Round 2 play (2pts):

Richard Green to beat Oliver Fisher +150 @ Stan James
Both players struggled today despite playing in the easier morning conditions. They both sit outside the cut mark, but at least Green had three birdies; Fisher had none. Neither player has played in this event previously, but Green gets the nod on the basis of his domination of the h2h record: since the start of last season, he leads Fisher 14-3-1. The ties loses in this matchup, but these are still good odds given that stat.
