Very frustrating week in Korea where Jannik Paul looked to be in pole position (he was) after 36 holes before a poor "moving day" Saturday saw him move out of contention yet somehow came back into it briefly on Sunday before capitulating again. Still, the course proved to be a winner and he can take positives away from the first two days performance.
Onto a rescheduled Italian Open this week (from Sept to May) as the Ryder Cup will be hosted by this week's Marco Simone GC outside Rome in September. It means we don't have the strong field that we had here ~8 months ago as the elevated event at Quail Hollow understandably is a bigger incentive for the European leading players this week on the PGA Tour.
It's a short week with Monday gone a Public Holiday that centres around family time so this post is a bit later but the work has been done and a 15-man shortlist was finalized as per below, ending with the subsequent staking plan. Emphasis was put on SG:APR & SG:T2G and I'm very keen to see how Thorbjorn Olesen goes this week whilst Ockie Strydom appears to be the value of the week having won two DPT titles already this year! Yannik Paul gets another chance and I'm revisiting Jason Scrivener and Richard Mansell who should find the course to their liking.
