DP World Tour golf tips: Victor Perez and Ryan Fox set for desert duel at Al Hamra
The last leg of the DP World Tour's stint in the Middle East sees Tipstrr golf pundit Martin Colwell pick out a couple of course-and-distance specialists gunning for glory at Al Hamra Golf Club.
Near to the coast amid desert surroundings, this 7,400-yard par-72 course has exposed fairways punctuated by plenty of water hazards, and conditions should remain pleasant, with temperature in the low 70s and the wind not expected to be a major factor.
From that shortlist of Ryan Fox, Victor Perez, Rasmus Hojgaard and Adrian Meronk, current form seems to favour Perez and Fox. Perez won the HSBC Championship in Abu Dhabi just two weeks ago, while Fox won on this course in 2022 and is the highest ranked on official world rankings this week.
And then we have the other Hojgaard brother, Nicolai, at a tempting 20/1. These odds seem to be based upon him winning this tournament last year, but I like the look of Nicolai more than Rasmus this week.
Prices then jump to 28/1, where we find Adrian Arnaus and Callum Shinkwin, both of whom played well last week, although their efforts were made to look ordinary alongside the class of Rory McIlroy and Patrick Reed.
Others to consider:
Guido Migliozzi can blow hot or cold, but he can go very low when the putter is working, and at 40/1 would carry value if you happen to catch him on a hot week.
Shaun Norris is a multiple winner on various minor tours around the world, and the South African finished ninth last year here and is a tempting 125/1.
