Volvo PGA Championship (1pt):
Darren Clarke to win 14/1 e.w. @ SkyBet, BetInternet, Victor Chandler and Eurobet
Twice a runner-up in this event and in the top-15 in each of the last five years, Clarke looks to have a strong chance of finally winning this title. He lost a lost of weight over the winter and the resulting swing changes led to some inconsistent early season form. But back in Europe, where he is at his best, he has finished in the top-5 in his last two events and should at the very least match those performances.
Michael Campbell to win 40/1 e.w. @ William Hill, Ladbrokes and Tote
Campbell was a selection in the first of those two events, the British Masters, and it looked promising before the weekend. He finally settled for a top-20 finish, as was the case in Germany last week, but should go better this week. He also has a runners-up spot to his name in this event (1995), plus he has finished in the top-5 in two of the last three years. These odds look rather large for someone with that track record.
Anders Hansen to win 40/1 e.w. @ Victor Chandler
But whereas Clarke and Campbell have three 2nd-place finishes in this event, Hansen can boast being the winner in 2002 when he won in style, by a margin of five strokes. Clarke and Campbell were also in the top-10 on that occasion. In 16 rounds on the West course, Hansen has been over-par only twice so the win was no fluke. He is also in excellent form with top-15 finishes in seven of nine starts this season and has been particularly impressive since the Tour came to Europe. He was an 80/1 winner two years, but this price simply reflects how much competitive he has become this season.
