1-0; +2.00pts (system plays: 4-3-1) No round 1 plays. No round 2 plays. Round 3 play (2pts): Tano Goya to beat Ted Oh -120 @ Bet365 WON by 7 Oh may be the home player, but sometimes that can work to merely add extra pressure on a player, particularly in the final round when in contention and particularly in a 'big' event like this for the Asian PGA Tour players ... a win will earn them playing rights on the much more lucrative European Tour. Oh has been trying for this since 2001, but in all his 50 European Tour-sanctioned events, he has recorded just one top-10 finish and that was in 2003. He has missed 17 of his last 24 European Tour-sanctioned cuts, but more relevant is his performance in last year's Ballantine's Championship - he started well, but then shot 75-80-78 over the next three rounds - and particularly last year's Indonesia Open - then, as now, he was 5th after 36 holes, but then shot 73-75 to finish 46th. Goya has a proven record in this position - he has been in the top-5 with one round to play four times and won the event on three of those occasions (he was 3rd on the other) - so is much less likely to succomb to the final round pressure.
