14. BMW ASIAN OPEN, PUDSONG GC 19-22 APR 07

Still in Asia I'm afraid. (When will it end?!), to a tournament that is invariably won by Europeans or Els. Goosen makes his debut here, the bookies have it as a 3 horse race between The Goose, The Big Easy and The Case-Meister...

ELS - FINAL POS’N: =5th
JIMENEZ - FINAL POS’N: =10th
McDOWELL - FINAL POS’N: 9th
O'MALLEY - FINAL POS’N: =15th

WINNINGS: £0
PROFIT/LOSS: -£10

COMMENT: Christ! The best all round result "26" has had so far, with three of the four bets ending up in the top ten, and the fourth (O'Malley) only one stroke away from the top ten, AND STILL NO BLEEDIN RETURN!

I can't remember how many times I've put "virtual money" on Els to win, and he's finished in the places, the big dopey git.
Raphael Jaquelin, who has had an excellent month (shoul've seen it coming really) won this rain affected tournament, with Soren Kjeldsen coming second.

On to next week....
