Difficult this one.
Despite a big purse, big names are pulling out of the French Open this year, Fasth and Ollie, the latest to withdraw.
Combine that with a bad weather forecast all week AND a history of this tournament producing shock three-figured odds winners, and maybe all this week will be for "26" is a speculative shot in the dark?
Le Golf National is a stadium course on the outskirts of Paris and has staged the French Open since 1991 (with 2 exceptions). Bentgrass greens, many bunkers and water hazards will test the field of 156 this week, and we should concentrate on accuracy rather than power I think...

Comment: The worst week so far for "Twenty-Six". Only Dredge who finished equal tenth and Dougherty spared our blushes and he only finished 25th. Green et al missed the cut by miles! (This was a bit of a shot in the dark though, as suggested at the staking plan).
Graeme Storm did enough to win a high scoring event in poor weather, with two Danes - Soren Hansen (I only went and selected the wrong Hansen then eh?) and Thomas Bjorn both making a welcome? return to form - as, I suppose, did Colon Montgomerie.
On to next week methinks... and the less said about this week the better.
