CIMB Classic - 29th October - 1st November

Congratulations to Aidy Mac for his Cejka call last week.  Quality at 300s.

The CIMB Classic is a cracking PGA Tour tournament played on the West Course at Kuala Lumpur G&CC. The same course has been used for this co-sanctioned event with the Asian Tour since 2013 and has also been used by the European Tour for the Maybank Malaysian Open since 2010 which is played in our Spring. 

The course is interesting as it's a short Par 72, with a tough set of Par 5s. Getting at a number of short Par 4s with wedge in-hand is therefore key. Paspalum surfaces benefit those who can play / putt well enough on Bermudagrass and the greens themselves are quite large for the length of the course. 

Conditions though are always soft, with this year being no exception. Plenty of rain pre-event has deluged the course, with thunderstorms forecast throughout. Potential for delays is a reality, so early Thursday starters are a real advantage. Balls won't carry on fairways and clean and replace will be in action. Greens will be receptive so look for those who can play consistently well with a wedge + can get at the Par 4s and 5s. 

On this basis I've gone for Paul Casey (28s), Danny Lee (28s) and Robert Streb (55s).
