GOLF - Qatar Masters 2009 - Thurs 22nd to Sun 25th January 2009

[Jonesy Knows]

The Race To Dubai is catching the imagination of the European Tour's top flight as there is another great field, in the desert for this week's Commercial Bank Qatar Masters in Doha. Adam Scott (Australia) has found his form again recently after a year he will want to forget! Last week he finished strongly to finish joint 2nd in Hawaii. He has a perfect record here in Doha 2/2 after victories in 2002 and 12 months ago when he smashed the course record in the closing round with a 61 to surge through the field on Sunday.His effort in Hawaii suggests he has shaken off the various ailments that have been bothering him and he should not be too far away from making it three out of three here. Scott is not a great starter in any tournament and he likes to come from behind so the general odds of 9/1 at the start of play is a little too skinny for my liking and I will be looking for better odds in running. He has to be in the shake up in this tournament due to his track record here and also his new found form! Look to take odds in excess of 20/1 for a general 1,2,3,4 EW finish in play! :ok

The above are past finishing positions showing that Nick Dougherty has a decent place finishing record here and at his likely long odds he's worth a shot for each-way purposes. His record here as follows: 2008: 11th 2007: 15th 2006: 4th 2005: 20th Victory in the 2007 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship capped an outstanding season which also included seven top tens, including joint seventh in the US Open at Oakmont Country Club, his first top ten in a Major. Season 2008 yielded another four top ten finishes – including a second place at the SAS Masters. Played in a second victorious Great Britain and Ireland Seve Trophy team under the captaincy of mentor Nick Faldo in 2007. The six-time Major Champion recognised him as a special talent. Dougherty has only competed 1 tournament this year at Abu Dhabi where he finished down the field, however he has decent form at this course and is worth a punt each way> Nick Dougherty @111.00 EW Totesport 1,2,3,4,5 1/4 odds :ok
