USB Hong Kong Open
The longest continuous running tournament currently on the European Tour takes place this week. There is a mixed field of European Tour regulars, Asian Tour players plus a few from the PGA Tour, most noticeably Justin Rose & Dustin Johnson.
A flick through previous results on this course and one name keeps cropping up time & again and it would be foolish to ignore it.
Miguel Angel Jiminez 28/1
MAJ has won this event four times in the last ten years including twice in the last three years so he is definitely the course specialist. Whilst his current form is mixed, it is impossible to ignore course stats like this so he has to be part of our portfolio.
Matthew Fitzpatrick 16/1
Not brilliant odds but Fitz has been brilliantly consistent this season and his first tour win at Woburn could kick him forward to a higher level. Thomas Pieters followed his first tour win with a second next time out & Fitz could do the same.
Lucas Bjerregaard 50/1
Lucas has trundled along all season doing nothing spectacular but has had three top ten finishes in his last five events at the Italian Open (3rd), European Open (5th) & Portugal Masters (9th). He also has course form, finishing 5th here last year
Angelo Que 125/1
Not an obvious pick on the face of it but amidst a sea of mediocre results for the last two years, two stand out - 5th in this event two years ago and runner up last year, losing in a playoff. Could be a case of horses for courses.
Good Luck!

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
