Simon Khan to win 40/1 e.w. @ ToteSport
One poor event doesn't turn Khan into an 'out-of-form' player. He was never really in contention last week , but in his previous five events, he had finished 7th in the BMW International Open, 3rd in the Open de France (leader at the cut), 11th in the Scottish Open (4th at the cut) and held the first round lead in the Deutsche Bank Players' Championship of Europe. That form should really be to good for this weak field and the odds certainly do not reflect that.
Anthony Wall to win 66/1 e.w. @ Sunderlands [6 places]
This is Wall's first event after withdrawing from the PGA Championship with heat-related illness, but the fact that he is only one of six players in this field that qualified or were invited to play in that event shows that he is a class apart from most of this field. His form is erratic, but 3rd last month in the European Open is encouraging and so is the course itself: "Short. Windswept. Links" (Dave Tindall). Albeit longer in length, Carton House was the setting for last year's Irish Open which Wall led heading into the final round.
Sam Walker to win 80/1 e.w. @ Sunderlands [6 places]
After missing the cut in 15 of his first 17 starts this year, Walker's game has been transformed over the last six weeks. Over that period, he has finished 52nd, 20th, 9th and 12th to become one of the most in-form players in this field. And while he shares with Khan and Wall an absence from this course's debut last season, he has, like Wall, some good performances on links courses: his Challenge Tour victory last year was at the Murcar Links Golf Club.

while Mr Walker wasnt the most popular man in the world in my house on Saturday/Sunday afternoon, will give him another chance to redeem himself.
Of the others, Derksen looks an obvious pick folowing DTs logic and for similar reasons Caever. Couple I do like the look of as well - Gallacher is a proven links player and had a decent finish last week and also Gonnet who played well last week and was fantastic in the Ryder Cup Wales Challenge on by far the worst 3rd day - if the wind blows he could go well.
On the match ups:
Archer over Levet at 10/11 with skybet
Derksen over Canizares at 5/6 with billys
couple of match ups involving Gonnet I cant make my mind up on, partic the one v Gonzalez.

Poor Stefan Langer. +25 and he still has 3 holes to go. He had a 12 on one hole. The kid must feel fairly ordinary about now.
finding the european tour very frustrating at present. had Gallacher and Gonnet one shot of out of a pay out. again.
Yea it seems like the books are getting better. I had one other play circled for the pga tour. It was stricker over sabbotini.. even that one was close. :shrug: Also the Mahan v Austin one was tight.. Gonna need to rely on injury and fatigue from now on.
