Andalucía Masters Top Tips: Four To Watch

Ryan Fox 12/113.00: The New Zealander is on a roll right now, thanks to three podium finishes from four starts, including a prestigious victory at Wentworth last month. Is currently No 3 in the Race to Dubai standings.

Robert MacIntyre 28/129.00: This year's Ryder Cup debutant should still be on a high from beating the Americans in Italy three weeks ago.

Richard Mansell 55/156.00: Following a lacklustre few months, the Englishman sprang to life last week with his first top-10 finish since February. This timely performance has secured him his DP World Tour card for next season. A solid each-way consideration in Sotogrande.

Marcel Siem 50/151.00: Never the most consistent of pros, but the 43-year-old German certainly knows how to win, as illustrated by his five career European Tour victories. Was tied-fourth over the weekend in Madrid.
