Jonsson Workwear Open 2023 - Steyn City, Joburg South Africa

 A new tournament, being played at The Club @ Steyn City where the "Steyn Championship" was played last March that saw Shaun Norris victorious with a winning -25 score. We can expect the same birdie-fest again this week and we should be keeping an eye on the bombers at the Jack Nicklaus design as the course was built as a resort venue for tourists.

From my 15-man shortlist below I opted for 4 players to make my staking plan here and in doing so have ignored the WGC Matchplay in Texas (another course I can't take to) as well as the Corales Puntacana Championship.I'll keep the faith with Ferguson as he did place last week after a slow Thursday, retry Del Rey and go back in for a look at Jaco Prinsloo and add Alexander Knappe who I feel should go very well here on the basis that he's fairly decent off the tee & tee-to-green, ranks as high as 16th on Data-Golf's Baseline Index trend despite missing the cut on his last two outings. He has however posted two T-10s from his twelve starts, which came in the preceding events to the missed cuts. The concern though is he has indeed missed 7 cuts from those 12 events but the 110/1 - 8 places more than entices me in ( I made him best price 100/1 although would have considered down to 80s here)

 I may get onboard on a player or two on the LPGA where Leona Maguires defends for the first time on the tour.
