Vic Open 2019

A very open field this week for the Vic Open in Geelong, Australia where I was very tempted to go in again with one of last week's selections, Aaron Rai @ 23.00.  Given quite a number of players in the field are of local (PGA Australia players that is) of which the majority are of unknown calibre, I've opted for three players that I thought were decent value for the week.

Gavin Moynihan will relish the courses this week, will love the wind and the fact that his Walker Cup team-mate, Paul Dunne is also in the field should help motivate him to collect the personal wager between them and post a decent score here. The Dubliner showed towards the end of 2018 that he's about to hit form by finishing 8th at Valderamma and 11th at Mauritius. He's been out in Dubai a number of weeks honing his game of late, and I expect the tight shorter courses this week to play into his hands. He plays The Beach first with a  morning tee time. A TOP-20 is a must bet for me and I'll chance an e/w outright bet too @ 151.00


Zimbabwean, Scott Vincent is improving and has posted a number of decent results throughout his travels in 2018. The field in front of him this week is there for the taking and the offer of 61.00 (7 places) can't be ignored.

42 year old Aussie, Matthew Millar missed the cut last time out in Singapore but in his previous 6 events he posted 5 TOP-5s including at the Emirates Australian Open and the Australian PGA Championship (3rd behind Cameron Smith & Marc Leishman)

I've chanced a threeball win for Aussie amateur, David Micheluzzi over compatriot and former course winner, Richard Green and Ireland's, Paul Dunne. The young amateur is ranked no5 in the world and the 22 year old has his sights on bigger and better things. I'll see how round one fares before deciding on 2nd round threeballs to be posted onto card below Thursday evening.
