Three Against The Field / Dan Geraghty / 16 September 2009 / Leave a comment

Tiger did the business for the column last week with the very minimum of fuss and its a good job, because if you tip Tiger and he doesn't win you feel a bit silly. This week with the PGA Tour taking a break, Daniel Geraghty takes a look at a wide open European event in Austria.

Recommended Bets:

Louis Oosthuizen [70.0];
Pablo Larrazabal [110.00];
Danny Lee [40.]

Louis Oosthuizen remains a very exciting prospect. After a blistering start to the year he's been very quiet these past few months but came back on the radar last week with a good first round. Eight competitive rounds in the last two weeks will hopefully have tuned up Oosthuizen's game for this week and in a relatively weak field Louis has a good opportunity to register his first European Tour win at a venue he shot a seven under 64 at last year.

Pablo Larrazabal won in fine style during his first season on the European Tour last year and it's not through lack of confidence that he's failed to add to that win. However, his brand of attacking golf has only been rewarded with one top 10 so far this season and Larrazabal is always capable of a double bogey from nowhere. A good start is all important for Pablo on Thursday.

Danny Lee clearly has the potential to be better than the majority, if not all of this field. Lee is only 19-years-old and has the accolade of being the youngest European Tour winner ever, achieved through winning the Johnnie Walker Classic at 18. Lee has played on the European Tour twice in recent weeks and was competitive at both the Johnnie Walker Championships at Gleneagles and the European Masters, he should be good for a trade here and might even go all the way.
