Will Soren Kjeldsen's fans witness another win for the diminutive Dane in China?

"The 34-year-old world no.33 has enjoyed a good season, adding the Open de Andalucia to his win in the 2008 prestigious Volvo Masters, which was almost a year ago to the day. He's often saved his best form for these elite events too; finishing sixth in the USPGA, seventh in the WGC-CA Championship and thirrd in the European Tour's flagship BMW Championship."

Consistent Dane's game has shifted up a gear and he may reward a trade at 160 for the latest WGC event

Soren Kjeldsen's return from two previous trips to Sheshan International GC is mixed, but there's every reason to suspect the consistent Dane could do much better this time around. Previously, this course has been something of a long-hitters' paradise, which was never going to be ideal for this short, straight and steady character.

Last year's rain-soaked, pick and place affair was particularly unsuitable, so it was no surprise to see him down in 41st. In 2007, drier conditions saw Kjeldsen finish a respectable 15th, despite this significant disadvantage in driving distance. This year, however, a greater emphasis on accuracy is expected, as the rough is much more penal. That should bode well for Kjeldsen, who can usually be relied to keep the ball in play.

At [160.0], this likeable character looks a promising trade.
