Fantasy Picks for the Nedbank Golf Challenge:

GB: Richard Bland - The Englishman is having the best season of his career and hasn't missed a cut since July at the French Open. Since then he's had four top seven finishes and his worst result has been a T30 at the WGC-HSBC Champions.

Rest of Europe: Martin Kaymer - The German has three top six finishes in his last five starts and won here in 2012.

Scandinavia: Henrik Stenson - The Swede now leads the Race to Dubai with just two events left and won this tournament eight years ago. He also finished runner-up last year and fourth in 2013.

Africa: Branden Grace - The South African is the highest ranked home player in the field and came T4th here last year.

Asia: Thongchai Jaidee - The Thai came ninth here last year and is on a decent run of form. Expect Thongchai to earn you some points this week.
