Euro tour is off to South Korea this week 
only one name for me and that is KJ Choi... available at 6/1 with Coral which looks top value as although a short golf price, he's playing in his native country and I'm sure will want to impress.. worth a couple of shots probably and with his ability and form, can't see anyone else getting past him |

| Going stick with another local in Anthony Kim e/w at 25's, a place would be as a good as a Choi win, but agree with you gecko6 that KJ will be tough to beat. |

| Kim is vastly overrated ..not in talent but at price. I don't get how a guy who has never won and only has a couple top 5's is worth a look at anything under 40/1 . Just my opinion. |

Am I getting a vibe here that you have to have a negative comment about every post that other lads put on the board.
We make our selections, give some positive info/ stats if we have and take our chances.
I'd love to have a grand to stick on Tiger every week and come on every Monday to say "I told you all he'd win on Wednesday night", but I don't, so I try and pick somebody who might just keep me interested for the weekend and maybe give me a few quid of a return at the end of the tournament. |

KJ Choi is a bottler so I deff wouldn't but any money on him. I prefer to wait mid 3rd round before I place a bet anyways as Golf has got harder to back on these days  |

I just mentioned Kim has never won as a pro. He hardly has finished in the top 5.. Thus 25/1 is low odds. I thought this was a discussion board. I didn't rip the guys pick at all. I like Kim a lot, and think he will win a good amount on tour, but for a guy who hardly ever finishes in the top 10 and misses far too many cuts.. 25/1 is laughable!
From now on Ill just say I love the pick.

Johan Edfors looks to be in good form at the moment and seeing as this course is for longer hitters, edfors is my pick for this week.
I always like to look for the local players to be up the leaderboard by sunday and so i think Y.E Yang has a chance due to him growing up on the island the course is on. |
