Find Me a 100 Winner: Two long-shots chanced for the Turkish Airlines Open at 139/1 and 159/1

I'm really looking forward to this week's PGA Tour event, the inaugural staging of the Cadillac Championship at Doral, but I'm struggling to find a long-shot I fancy there so both of this week's selections are playing on the DP World Tour, at the Turkish Airlines Open.

Turkish Airlines Open bet #1 - Darius Van Driel @ 140.0139/1

Being it's the host venue for the first time, it's hard to know how the National Golf Club in Belek will play this week.

It's difficult to get any strong angles in but as highlighted in the preview, it's a parkland course framed by mature trees so accuracy from the tee may prove a big asset.

Like last week's venue, the Enhance Anting Golf Club in Shanghai, it's a Bermuda grass track so a nice warm-up there should prove to be a plus too.

Darius Van Driel, who is one of the most accurate drivers on the Tour, caught the eye with his eighth-place finish in China and I was happy to chance him at 140.0139/1 on the Betfair Exchange.

Van Driel was an impressive winner of the Kenya Open around tree-lined Muthaiga two years ago and he was beaten in a playoff in Belgium at the Soudal Open last year around another course framed by trees, Rinkven.

All his stats were strong last week and it was encouraging to see him build nicely on his 18^th in the Indian Open last month around a venue that wouldn't be ideal for his neat and tidy accurate game.

Turkish Airlines Open bet #2 - Guido Migliozzi @ 160.0159/1

My only other selection is another winner of the Kenya Open, Guido Migliozzi, who claimed his victory in the event around an equally challenging and tight venue, Karen Country Club, back in 2019.

Less than three months after winning in Kenya, he claimed the second of his four DP World Tour victories in the Belgium Knockout at the aforementioned Rinkven, beating Van Driel in the final.

Migliozzi is a class act on his day, and in addition to winning four times on the DP World Tour, most recently in 2024 at the KLM Open, he's finished fourth and 14^th in two of the three US Opens that he's played in.

The 29-year-old Italian is far from a model of consistency but like Van Driel, he caught the eye last week when he sat tied for seventh and seven off the lead with 18 to play.

Any slim chance he had in China was soon relinquished when he double-bogeyed the sixth hole but he finished the event off nicely with a bogey-free, three-under-par on the back-nine and that followed back-to-back 66s on Friday and Saturday so he might just be rounding into form.
