The European Tour remained in South Africa for the South Africa Airways Open, contested on the Jack Nicklaus designed course at the Pearl Valley Golf estate. Unfortunately, my selections didn’t challenge for honours and I incorrectly advised you to back…

Trevor Immelman @ 7/1: Sadly, Immelmen was a non-starter in this event and didn’t have the chance to continue his excellent recent form in a tournament he has previously won twice.
Tim Clark @ 14/1: Clark is another two-time winner of this event but he failed to mount a challenge this time around, eventually finishing tied for 41st place on ten over par.
John Bickerton @ 66/1: Bickerton didn’t approach the standard that saw him claim victory in the Alfred Dunhill Championship. He posted eleven over for his two rounds and missed the cut.

I should have told you to get on…

James Kingston @ 80/1: Kingston shot a final round of 71 to finish with a score of four under par and win his National Open Championship by one stroke, and at a massive price.
Oliver Wilson @ 66/1: A poor start to the final round cost England’s Wilson dear. He had to settle for runner-up after dropping strokes on the first, sixth and ninth holes to miss out by one stroke.
Darren Clarke (50/1) carded a final round of 69 and finished in a tie for third place on one under par along with Louis Oosthuizen (66/1), Garth Mulroy (150/1) and Kyron Sullivan (250/1), each of whom would have returned a healthy profit if backed each-way.
