Now that I'm back online, I will deal with the last two tournaments in Asia, (the International part of the EPGA tour) in a very brief manner, and prepare for the first WGC event of the year, which I'll treat as normal.
Selections for the Malaysian Open at Saujana were as follows:
LEE WESTWOOD £2 e/w 18-1
SIMON DYSON £1 e/w 25-1
JAIDEE £1.50p to win 8-1F
PROM MEESAWAT 75p e/w 40-1
Jaidee was a very strong favourite for the Malaysian Open, having won it and come 2nd very recently, and being in very solid form recently. Strangely though, he played very badly and missed the cut - saying afterwards he was knackered with all the tournaments recently, crossing time-zones etc... and promised to be back to his best in Jakarta, once his body clock had re-adjusted with this weekend off.
The (once again) newly "light-weight" Westwood played poorly and finished well down the field and Meesawat after briefly threatening the top of the leaderboard, finished just out of the money as far as 26 was concerned in a very solid 7th place.
26 DID "clean-up" with DYSON though, hur hur.
He didn't win - that honour went to Peter Hedblom, but he did come 3rd at 25-1, making 26 a small £7.25p e/w return.
After the event, a frustrated Dyson, who thrives in the Asian leg of the tour (and was a winner of the Asian Order of Merit not so long ago), said he should have won by a few. He played well enough, but didn't sink a putt all weekend. This may have been selective memory on Dyson's part though, as TWO visits to the water in two holes and two sixes where others were taking four, proved he probably didn't really deserve to win.
Never mind - another small each/way return for 26!
Stake:£10
Balance after stake: £464.25p
Winnings: £7.25p (DYSON 3rd, £1 e/w at 25-1)
Profit/Loss : -£2.75p
Balance at end of tournament, before Jakarta : £471.50p
