Three contenders at the Nedbank Challenge based on current form

Back Angel Ayora @ 22/123.00

If you're looking for hot recent form look no further than this young Spaniard. Ayora has banked nearly £400,000 across his last three DP World Tour events following a string of top 10s capped by a tie for eighth in the DP World Tour Championship. Hopefully two weeks off have not stopped that hot form and he can pick up again in South Africa.

Laurie Canter @ 28/129.00

After not hitting a top 10 since July's BMW International Open, Canter has gone close to winning in two of his last three events. First up was a tie for second at the Genesis Championship in Korea and then a tie for third at the DP World Tour Championship. In between was a near top 20 at the Abu Dhabi Championship. Can more globetrotting yield another high finish?

Garrick Higgo @ 16/117.00

Unlike most of his rivals in the field, HIggo has been plying his trade on the PGA Tour. And he's been playing very well with top 10s at his last four events. If replicating that level of play back in his homeland Higgo will be very hard to stop.
