The Golf tour bus moves from Shanghai to Hong Kong this week for the UBS Hong Kong Open. The boys must like to do a bit of Christmas shopping because the event has attracted a really strong field and two that we like the look of are Jeev Singh and Wen Tang Lin, both can be backed at around the 40/1 mark with the bookies but you will get bigger with the free market economy.
Singh does love the track in Hong Kong and has played well there in recent years. In 2008 he was in fourth place going into the final round but shot 72 to fade into 11th. He was third the previous year. He hasn't won on the European Tour this year but he has performed well and has a number of top thirty positions on his archived cards. Last week in Shanghai he played steady golf without troubling the judge and at puntinplay we think he can go well.
Wen-Tang Lin is also in good form. He was on top of the leaderboard last week in Shanghai after 27 holes but in the end he fell away to finish outside the top twenty. He won the event in a play-off last season and if he can hold himself together for all four rounds (Final rounds of 75 and 76 in Singapore and Shanghai are a worry) we fancy him to go well.
1 point win, 0.5 point place Jeev Singh. 1 point win and place Wen Tang Lin
