Round 1 play (2pts):
Chris Wood to beat Thorbjorn Olesen +100 @ Stan James [also available @ Bet365 and Paddy Power]
I'll take these odds on Wood as an underdog for a small play on a new course and event. Wood has been in good form recently with three top-10 finishes in his last nine starts, whereas Olesen has missed the cut in four of his last seven and nine of his last fifteen cuts. In terms of their h2h stats, Wood has finished ahead of Olesen in each of their last three common events in Europe and while some may view playing in home country as an advantage, Olesen is not so sure: "There's probably more pressure on us Danes than in a normal European Tour tournament". With this being the first European Tour event in Denmark, I'd agree with the extra pressure element.
[unofficial rd1 system plays: Aguilar tb Lampert -110; Fisher tb Stal -110; Baldwin tb Waring -114]
