Qatar Masters

Outright Bet:

Back Soren Kjeldsen 2 pts @ 100/1 at Coral/Eurobet (currently 90 at Betfair)

A first-time tour winner in 2003, I'm sure he'll be soon stepping up on his early-season performances and there has to be every chance that it will be this week. He is a regular here and knows the place very well, having been runner-up and 7th in past runnings. He's in the first group on the tee in round one and he's one 'outsider' that would definitely be respected by punters should he get off to a good start. I think odds down to about 80 are perfectly acceptable here for those who can't play at Coral's stand-alone price.

Post round 1 update:

The bet looks dead in the water after a very poor +3 opening round.

Total points staked: 2 ... Total points laid: 0 ... Loss = 2 pts.
