20th August 2020
-5 Smith
-5 Syme
-3 Kitayama
-3 Soderberg
-3 MacIntyre
-3 Shinkwin
It's a high quality leaderboard after the opening 18 holes with several pre-event favourites positioned nicely. The weather forecast for round two is wind in excess of 20mph throughout the day and we could see a significant change at the top come tomorrow evening. With that in mind it is a day for small plays and further review at the weekend. That said, we have two small bets on players who are capable wind players.

Friday's Bets
Matthew ranked 4th for Greens In Regulation in his opening round when shooting an opening 69. He finished 27th here last week but the windier conditions should suit him better. He's recorded a couple of second place finishes on the European Tour now and he's a player who will likely make the breakthrough sooner rather than later. His record in the UK is excellent and he's a solid play ahead of the second round.
Sami won earlier this season at the Oman Open on a windy course with water in play on several holes. The test this week is not dissimilar and he is a nice price to add a second title to his resume. He was 2nd Greens In Regulation for his first round and at -1 he's nicely positioned. He finished 6th here last week and it's a nice sign that before his win in Oman he posted a 7th place finish.
