Outrights:
Louis Oosthuizen (28/1) e.w.
- - Overdue a win for all the good golf he?s played, especially in an elite field; has some credentials here, and some credentials for Januarys and early seasons; and I?ve already caught glimpses of some fairly effortless form seemingly on display. Also seems like good value among options falling in the price range I?ve struck paydays on early this year.
Thomas Pieters(33/1) e.w.
- - ?Hello, world? would be too strong, but seems he could still be in the midst of announcing his presence.
Lee Westwood(66/1)
- - Only thing really suggesting the old crumbly are my memories of some stellar play here in the past, before his early season focus was directed toward America.
Ross Fisher(80/1) e.w.
- - The start of my season would go from awesome to sublime if I spent the weekend watching this play come good.
Thomas Bjorn(125/1) e.w.
- - Nothing to see here.

Pre-tournament plays:
BACK 2pts
Anthony Wall 290 & lay 8pts @ 70
A 3rd place finish in only start this year (Joburg Open) shows that Wall is in good form and cuts made in each of the last five years (finishes of 42nd or higher each time) here show that he should be lower odds than this.
Alejandro Canizares 370 & lay 4pts @ 140
Another player in good form - he got within a shot of Fowler in Abu Dhabi two weeks ago before finishing 5th, then he finished 27th last week - and with five cuts made in six attempts, he is another who should be at lower odds.
David Howell 430 & lay 4pts @ 160
And another player who has been in very good form recently - he was 2nd after rd1 in the Joburg Open and 7th after rd1 (and 4th after rd2) in the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship. Another good start and he should reach 160 with ease.
