Backawinners, I don’t often tip players at $40, but last week Okkie Strydoms form on Bermuda and his recent win in South Africa suggested he was the best value of the favourite and so it turned out!

In Australia Ryan Ruffels ($100) shot 11 under in the first round, but could not sustain the form, the same might go for the young talented Cassie Porter in the Ladies event.
