Joburg Open Golf Betting Tips

The Joburg Open has already been played once this calendar year, but it is in a new position on the schedule and also at a new venue, Randpark Golf Club, for the 2018 season.

Last season Darren Fichardt won the Joburg Open in wet weather conditions at the Royal Johanesburg & Kensington Golf Club – the South African is 25/1 to defend his title.

Favourites for the event are Louis Oosthuizen (11/2) and, last week’s winner, Dylan Frittelli (9/1) – South Africans fill the lower priced players in the market.

 Joburg Open Golf Betting Tips Advised Bets

Dean Burmester 4 points each way at 22/1 with Sportnation.bet – The home favourite won the Tshwane Open earlier this season and is a massive threat on South African tracks. Was 4th a couple of weeks ago at the DP World Tour Championship and I like his price this week.

Romain Langasque 2 points each way at 50/1 with Sportnation.bet – The Frenchman has been through the mill this year having missed 16 of the 27 cuts he was involved in. However it is now doubt he is a talent, and with a much improved 3rd place finish last week, I am backing his return to form will continue this week.

Justin Walters 2 points each way at 60/1 with Sportnation.bet – Another dangerous South African who needs to be considered on home turf. Finished 14th last week and had a 3rd at the KLM Open in mid September.

Daniel Brooks 1 point each way at 100/1 with Sportnation.bet – The Englishman had a solid if unspectacular 2017 season, but impressed with a 3rd place finished at the Andalucia Valderrama Masters, which as a course that requires similar attributes to the test of this week at Randpark.

Please do bet responsibly and the best of luck to you.
