After a three year absence we get back to beautiful Mauritius this week for the final event of 2022. Rasmus Hogaard does not defend his title having won here in December 2019 which is a little surprising and what's more surprising is the market leader at best price of 6/1 about Thomas Detry. The Belgian has been in excellent form of late there is no doubt but that's a shocking price in my opinion so I'm looking to get some value further down to end the year with hopefully the winner and I do like the chances of
Oliver Bekker &
Laurie Canter this week. The former could end 2022 with a much deserved win in Mauritius where he has performed well in previous visits finishing 9-7-9-8 in his 4 visits albeit at different courses. 4th last week and 13th in Johannesburg last month, the Pretoria native hasn't won in 5 years but has been having a stellar 2022 in his late thirties! Bekker posted 8 TOP-10s from his 27 starts on the DPT Tour 21/22 where he lost a playoff to Ardri Arnaus in Catalunya and has started this season in his native homeland where he left off last season. The 18/1 - 7 places is value given his Mauritius Open results in the past on top of that recent form.
The Englishman was backed 3 times this year;Dubai-Steyn City-Czech Masters for no return. He didn't really have a great season last so he's already off to a better start for this finishing 3rd last week with a closing 64.
Jaco Prinsloo is chanced again having backed him at The Joburg Open, this time @ 90/1 - 7 places and I'll complete the staking plan with small enough bets on Todd Clements @ & Alfredo Garcia-Heredia @ 100/1 & 80/1 respectively from the 15-man shortlist I finalized at below.
