Bet on Golf - Indonesian Open
by BetUS Staff
Meanwhile, the European Tour is taking part in the Indonesian Open at Damai Indah Golf & Country Club in Jakarta this week. The Indonesian Open (which is also a part of the Asian Tour) has only been run since 2005, and it has yet to attract a top-notch field. Thaworn Wiratchant from Thailand won the inaugural event, while Simon Dyson of England is the defending champion.
Dyson and Thongchai Jaidee are the co-favorites at +800 odds this time around, while Wiratchant is back at +3000 odds. Here is the complete list of the top contenders (according to the oddsmakers) in Jakarta this weekend:
- Thongchai Jaidee +800
- Simon Dyson +800
- Prom Meesawat +1600
- Shiv Kapur +2500
- Taichi Teshima +2500
- Chinarat Phadungsil +3000
- Thaworn Wiratchant +3000
- Ignacio Garrido +3500
- Oliver Fisher +4000
- Tetsuji Hiratsuka +4000
- Frankie Minoza +4000
If you’re looking for a strong field of both American and European golfers, you’ll have to wait until next week when the Gallery at Dove Mountain in Tucson, Arizona plays host to the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship.
Australian Geoff Ogilvy won that tournament (which includes the Top 64 golfers in the world) in 2006, while American David Toms won in 2005. Tiger Woods, who will return to action for this event, was the Match Play champion in both 2003 and 2004.
