December 8th – Golf (Alfred Dunhill Championship)
This weekend sees the start of the 2010 season at Leopard Creek in South Africa. Its hard to go past the 2 favourites in this tournament in ERNIE ELS ($7) and CHARL SCHWARTZEL ($14) even though they are both quite short.
In the past 4 years this tournament has been held at Leopard creek and during that time Els has finished 3rd (2005) Winner (2006), 8th (2007), 2nd (2008), DNP (2009) while Schwartzel has finished Winner (2005), 2nd (2006), 2nd (2007), DNP (2008), 14th (2009). THose stats speak for themselves and both golfers have found some form in recent rounds. I won’t be taking the short odds early though as no golfer has lead from start to finish here in its 15 year history so maybe its best to hold on for 1 or 2 rounds and hope to do as we did last week in picking up Adam Scott at the midway point.
Outsiders that have strong chances are RAFAEL CABRERRA-BELLO ($38) who has enjoyed a number of top 20 finishes in the past here plus with his maiden victory last season he has a new confidence that could see him press for a win here. Another golfer who has had success here in the past is ROBERT ROCK ($70) and could figure in the mix on Sunday.
No bets so far but stand by for some action mid way through if the price is right.
