Round 1 play (4pts):
Charl Schwartzel to beat Henrik Stenson +100 @ Bet365
There are two reasons to oppose Stenson: (i) he is leading the Race to Dubai which tends to lead to poor play at the end of the season with the greater pressure involved, and that is even moreso this year as Stenson has the chance to win the TransAtlantic double having won the FedEx Cup following his victory in the Tour Championship on the PGA Tour; and (ii) he is the final group alongside Justin Rose and the $3 million appearance money player, Tiger Woods ... that really ramps up the pressure. For his part, Schwartzel is coming off a win and has finished in the top-30 in 11 of his last 12 starts; Stenson has finished outside the top-30 in each of the last two weeks.
