Re: South African Open Championship 21-24 Nov It always pays to stick with the South African golfers for this tournament, mind you the vast majority of the field will be South African. Nonetheless only 13 foreigners have won this tournament in the last 102 years so it is just a matter of finding which South African to back really. Charl Schwartzel is an exceptional player but at around the 5/1 mark he is not worth betting on really. Stenson did win it last year but the man has been playing out of his skin since then. The man I am interested in is a man that won this tournament two years ago, Hennie Otto. He also caught the eye last year when he shot a final round 62 to fly up the table into a tie for 9th. Interestingly, his last three rounds of 2013 have also been his best rounds of the year which suggests he is now coming into a bit of form. He finished in a tie for 8th in Italy and followed that up with a solid 12th place finish in the Alfred Dunhill with a superb score of -18. He then went on to Portugal in October and finished 6th, scoring -15. He has to be a very solid contender for this weekend in my opinion on home soil. Hennie Otto - 10 Points each-way @ 33/1 Ladbrokes
