Golf Special Report - 2010 Barclays Singapore Open betting odds
Sentosa Golf Club is ready to welcome the Singapore Open with massive prize money of US$1 million.
The prize money has been increased keeping in view that worldwide stars will be teeing off to elevate their positions in the Race to Dubai. All three major winners will be part of the field leaving 2010 Open Championship winner
Louis Oosthuizen out, owing to an injury he has not yet recovered from. The South African got himself into trouble while trying to discover his adventurous side.
Therefore, Martin Kaymer, Phil Mickelson and Graeme McDowell are the leftovers for the combat. However, according to the media reports, the real battle will take place between Kaymer and McDowell as the duo is eyeing the top spot
in the Race to Dubai. Whoever gets the prize money of 700,000 Euros will rise up the ladder.
To spice it up, the competition has been increased this year with increased number in field. 204 players will cater the eyes of the spectators on twin courses of the Sentosa Golf Club. The first three rounds will be staged on Serapong
course and the last one will take place on Tanjong course. This will keep the element of surprise till the last moment.
The event will kick off in tough conditions with heat and humidity all packed in one to make the greens slippery and impossible to handle. However, who will rise up the leader board is the question that requires observation.
Robert Karlsson
A year back, the player missed the cut to the venue, owing to an eye problem. However, he came back at Qatar Masters 2010 and Portugal Masters, where he almost stole the show from Martin Kaymer. He nearly administered a hole-in-one
shot at the last hole of the tournament and chances are that he will continue with a game like this.
Karlsson is five spots outside the prolific top 15 in the Race to Dubai, but he still has ample amount of motivation to push him in the top spot.
Adam Scott
This Aussie skipped the JBWere Masters in Melbourne to make a point here in Singapore. The golfer possesses a strong relationship with the tournament and thereby has come all the way to Asia to contest for it. Scott drafted a tremendous
record here in 2005 and 2006 by winning back-to-back events.
He will surely be the man of the hour as he knows how to handle the condition in all kind of situations.
Joost Luiten
The last man that deserves attention is the player who is free from all kind of injuries. Not only fitness plays an edge on his side, but he has some outstanding stats as well. He recorded three top five finishes this season with
top 2 in the first.
Only recently, he bagged a runner-up spot against Richard Green in the Portugal Masters. Speaking of his intentions regarding the tournament, he said, "I'm really happy that I managed to get back on my level and maybe a little
bit better now and from here, hopefully we go to the next step and that's winning a tournament."
Luiten acts quite intrepid under stress and this is the factor that will help him in ascending the ladder of the leader board. Although he has been absent from the game in Asia, with a track record of top five finishes in Indonesia,
chances are that he will strike back once more.
This is it for the betting preview of the Singapore Open, which will kick off at the Sentosa Golf Club with a field of 204 players. The event will witness action-packed drama as Martin Kaymer and Graeme Mc Dowell will collide to
decide the winner of the Race to Dubai.
