European Tour Betting - Open de Espana

Jimenez has four European Tour victories on home soil, and has already tasted success this season, winning the Omega Dubai Desert Classic in February. The 46 year old should be fresh, having been grounded last week (along with several other European golfers) by the disruption caused by the Icelandic volcanic eruption. This should play in his favour as he looks to end the eight year barren run without a local winner of the Spanish Open.
The main challenges to Jimenez should come from Stephen Dodd, Darren Clarke, Colin Montgomerie, Thomas Bjorn, fellow Spaniard Pablo Martin, and reigning champion Thomas Levet. Oliver Fisher is also a form player, recording a fifth consecutive top ten finish at the Ballantines Championship in Korea last week, to exceed his earnings to date for the whole of last season. This all but guarantees his European Tour card for next season, which leaves him free to concentrate on breaking his duck on the professional circuit.

Bettors should note that last year’s tournament took place in Catalunya. The last time the event took place in Sevilla in 2008, Irishman Peter Lawrie took home top honours.
