DUNHILL LINKS CHAMPIONSHIP ....


......concludes today at St Andrews.

Bradley Dredge and Padraig harrington have slipped a little clear of the field and Stan James, sure that other bookmakers will follow suit, have opened a book, betting without these two.

I see some value in taking a couple of golfers in this market. Ernie Els has a wonderful record here, 2-2-7 in 3 previous appearances and although he has had a poor season by his high standards, must go well today. He shot a fine 67 here on Friday, 3 courses are used in rotation, everyone plays SA today for the second time, shooting 6 birdies in an almost flawless round. He could stage one of his famous last round charges today.

Also like the chance of the massive hitting Swede, Robert Karlsson, who has developed into a top class golfer, he finished with a 68 here last year and something similar could put him in contention today. The pair can be backed at a combined price of 2.35 and that seems fair to me.

3 points Ernie Els 3.0
1.5 points Robert Karlsson 10.0 both in the without Dredge/Harrington market .... Stan James.

Good Luck.
