Irish Open
The Irish Open is back at the K Club & while we have some course form, it is a bit dated. Rory McIlroy is the 4/1 Favourite with other names including Willett, Lowry, Knox, Luiten, McDowell & Westwood.
I can find reasons for not backing any of the above - McIlroy just isn't a worthy 4/1 favourite, Willett seems under cooked, Lowry is poor value at 18/1, Knox doesn't justify 28/1, Luiten has form but is probably too short, McDowell & Westwood need to step up to win. All which leaves me looking for longer shots.
My gut feeling is that the course will favour GIR players but not 100% on this so being flexible.
Rafael Cabrera Bello 35/1
I think length could be a great advantage here & RCB has been pretty consistent this season. He had a bad week last week at Sawgrass but before that had seven Top 20 finishes out of eight, four of them Top Five finishes. He is much improved around the green & he will be winning soon.
Thorbjorn Olesen 55/1
Olesen is a bit inconsistent but if he can put four decent rounds together then he should go close at a decent price. He often performs well in poor conditions and the forecast is that there may be wind & rain.
Andrew Johnston 80/1
Won the Spanish Open last month where he topped the stats for GIR & Driving Accuracy, qualities that will see him right up there. Far better form than most of the favourites here and great value.
I quite like Luiten 33/1, Wiesberger 40/1, Rock 100/1, Lorenzo-Vera 300/1,
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.
