TSZ TIPS

ROSS MCGOWAN

  • A relatively weak field heads to Nairobi for the Magical Kenya Open and there should be an opportunity for some big-priced players to challenge for the title, one of which could be Ross McGowan who is available at triple figures.
  • McGowan produced some quality here back in 2018 when finishing 14th despite making a poor start in the opening round and comes into this on the back of an excellent fourth-placed finish on the Challenge Tour last week.

TIP: Winner e/w (150/1)

OLIVER BEKKER

  • Oliver Bekker will be hopeful of recording a maiden success on the DP World Tour and comes into this event having performed well here in the past, recording several finishes in the top 20.
  • Those efforts have not been consistent but the South African has shown enough in his appearances in Kenya to suggest he can go close this week and it would not be a surprise to see the 37-year-old build on some impressive showings last month in which he finished in the top ten on two occasions.

TIP: Winner e/w (40/1)
