Round 1 play (2pts):
Charl Schwartzel to beat Thomas Pieters -120 @ Pinnacle [also available @ 5Dimes and SkyBet]
Schwartzel plays most of his golf on the PGA Tour where he finished 6th in the Frys.com Open last time out. Pieters has shown good form on the European with two wins and a 6th place finish in his last ten starts, but that spell includes no other top-30 players so he is a player to back in outrights, but much more opposable in matchups. That is the case this week in Turkey where he has no previous course experience, whereas Schwartzel finished in the top-30 in the inaugural event two years ago. That course experience and his better overall game should be enough in this match.
[unofficial rd1 system plays: Wiesberger tb Fitzpatrick -111; Sullivan tb Fitzpatrick -110; Aiken tb Lorenzo-Vera -120; Horsey tb Slattery -114]

Round 3 play (2pts):
Rory McIlroy to beat Matthew Fitzpatrick -175 @ Paddy Power
Standard play to oppose the player who shot the low round of the previous day. To do so with the World #3 who has yet to drop a shot this week is a bonus and despite Fitzpatrick's form over the last two months, McIlroy should find it easier to put pressure on Jaco Van Zyl who faltered late in his round. Short odds, but still value with the 'ties push' option.
[unofficial rd3 system plays: Wood tb Fitzpatrick +105; Lowry tb An -143; Jaidee tb Pieters +103; Campillo tb Lagergren -105]

Round 4 play (2pts):
Lee Westwood to beat Victor Dubuisson -111 @ Paddy Power
Opposing Dubuisson who holds a share of the lead after the 3rd round. He has only lead one previous Tour event after 54 holes and that was this event in 2013. He did win on that occasion. but he started the day five shots ahead and only won due to three birdies in his last three holes after he had been level-par for the first 14 holes. A single shot separates four players at the top of the leaderboard this time and that includes Rory McIlroy so there will be a lot more pressure this time. That should make for a good opportunity for Westwood who is four shots off the pace.
