The European Tour travels to South Korea this week for the fourth annual Ballantine’s Championship. Graeme McDowell, Thongchai Jaidee and Marcus Fraser have all claimed victory here in the Championship’s three year history but this time around, big guns Lee Westwood, Dustin Johnson and Ian Poulter will all be hoping to become the fourth name on the new trophy.
Challenger
Lee Westwood
After a stint as World Number 1, Lee Westwood went through some inconsistent form which saw Martin Kaymer overtake him. Now, back on top of the rankings after Luke Donald failed to win last weekend, Westwood will be keen to be more dominant as the number one man in the game. While he failed to card a Top 10 this season before last weekend, he also never finished outside the Top 30 since the Dubai Classic. He tied 11th at the Masters and after his win in the Indonesian Masters last weekend he will be in buoyant form when he tees off on Thursday. While it is rare to see anyone win two weeks on the trot, I expect Westwood to come very close this weekend. He is best priced at 6/1 (Bet 365). Back yourself up with a Top 10 finish at 4/7.
Value
Jeev Milkha Singh
Jeev Milkha Singh is a man who could show winning form here this weekend. There are some big names to compete with but the Indian has showed some form in recent weeks, most notably a Top 10 finish in last weeks China Open. Singh holds twelve tour wins, ten of which have been in Asia and has also displayed good course pedigree finishing second here in 2008, only losing out to Graeme McDowell in a playoff. He is good value for the win at 50/1 (Victor Chandler) and 15/8 (Sky Bet) for a Top 20. My Tips
