South African Open Championship Betting

As mentioned, strong winds are forecasted so my picks will centre around competent wind players. Also, i'll be focusing on the Early/Late side of the draw as I feel this gives the players the best chance of avoiding the worst of the windy conditions. The Pearl Valley course itself plays just over 7,300 yards long with pretty generous fairways and not too much rough. However, hazards come into play on 9 holes.

South African Open VALUE Picks:
-1pt E/W James Kingston @ 35/1 (Betfred ) Kingston took this championship down 2 years ago in poor conditions weather wise and looked in good form last week. His putter is generally what lets him down but on his home(and slow) greens, it may not be too much of a problem this week
-1pt E/W Damien McGrane @ 45/1 (Boylesports) Good tournament last week, on the early side of the draw and a bad weather specialist. Also has course form.
-1pt E/W Robert Rock @ 33/1 (Boylesports) Tied for 4th last week and showed his qualities battling windy conditions at the 3 Irish Open last year. Another early starter.
-1pt E/W Thomas Aiken first round leader @ 40/1 (Boylesports) aiken is so inconsistent that i can't have him for the outright/EW but on acourse like this and with an early tee time Thursday, he could grab an early advantage
