We're nearly there now. The Mallorca classic is our penultimate event - what a long season it has been - without much luck it would seem.
This course is very tricky, even it is quite short, at around 6900 yards long. I can't see past the clear favourite Garcia (if he can tear himself away from Greg Norman's daughter for a week) or Niclas Fasth (who has recovered from a severe bout of flu - so you can forgive him his terrible scoring in the first round of the World Matchplay at Wentworth a fortnight or so ago).
No more talk.
Selections :
Fasth £2.50p to win 10-1
Alexander Noren £1 e/w 80-1
Kjeldsen £1 e/w 50-1
Derksen £1 e/w 33-1
Garcia £1.50p to win 9-2F
Stake: £10
Balance after stake: £336.21p

Comment:
This might well go down as the tournament that VERY NEARLY saved the day for "Twenty SIx". BUt alas, no.
After the second and the third rounds, we had FOUR of our selections in the top five, including the leader at the time, Derksen.
Then the final round happened, and we were just left with Derksen picking up third spot.
Very close, but ultimately very dissapointing, and we go to Valderrama next week, needing a miracle, to pick up any respectability for the year.
Here's hoping.
