Open de Andalucia

[Stanley]

Round 1 play (2pts):

Robert-Jan Derksen to beat Nicolas Colsaerts -105 @ Bet365
Two evenly matched players in terms of form: Colsaerts finished 5th last week, while Derksen finished 4th in the European Tour event before that; Colsaerts has made three cuts in four starts this year, while Derksen has made four from six. However, this course was used for the first time for this event last year (previously used only once on Tour, 12 years ago) and while Colsaerts missed the cut, Derksen was in contention throughout the event last year, before dropping out of the top-5 in the final round to finish 12th. This course clearly suits Derksen more and so is worth backing as an underdog.

Round 2 play (2pts):

James Morrison to beat Jeppe Huldahl +119 @ Extrabet
Opposing Huldahl who lies in sixth place and one shot off the lead after the opening round. He has ended the first day in the top-10 on seven previous occasions on the European Tour and, from this position, he has averaged 73.9 in the second round and finished the 2nd round in 57th, 22nd, 31st, 100th, 40th (his event last year), 60th and 14th position. His past record suggests that he will struggle tomorrow, whereas Morrison shot 63 in the 2nd round last year en route to finishing 6th. He clearly enjoys this course and lies only four shots off the pace after the opening round.

Round 3 play (2pts):

Phillip Price to beat Richard Finch +110 @ Paddy Power
Backing Price to maintain his form for at least another round. He played very well in last week's Sicilian Open to lie in 3rd place with one round to play and he has opened with two 68s to 16th at the halfway mark this week. The value should be with a player who has been little-favoured in the markets since his last Tour win eight years ago.
