The DP World Tour returns to the iconic Le Golf National in Paris for the first time since 2019 and we have a crack field set to compete for one of the most revered championships in European golf.
Best Bet
Le Golf National is very much a tee-to-green test and there are few better than New Zealand’s Ryan Fox, who should rightly feel disgusted that he was not called up for Presidents Cup duty this week. Fox ranks 2nd in Strokes Gained: Approach and 4th in Strokes Gained: Tee To Green. Form at Celtic Manor is usually a good guide and Fox finished 15th in 2020 while he has two Top 20s in three starts here including a T-6 on debut in 2017.
Mid-Tier Bet
Good scramblers do very well at Le Golf National and Otaegui leads the DP World Tour in Scrambling. He also ranks 7th in Bogey Avoidance, 15th in Driving Accuracy and 20th in Strokes Gained: Tee To Green. Two Top 12 finishes in his last three starts here.
Value Bet
Underrated Finnish veteran who is well suited here. Ranks 2nd on Tour in Driving Accuracy so can avoid the penal rough while he ranks Top 20 in Strokes Gained: Tee To Green, Strokes Gained: Approach and GIR. Finished Top 15 in the last two Wales Opens and made three of five cuts here.
Longshot Bet
Syme’s form at the Wales Open makes him a bet. He finished 2nd at Celtic Manor this year and has finished Top 20 the last three years. Ranks 10th in GIR. Finished runner-up at two of his last four starts and has four Top 6 finishes this year.
