Hansen as the Second Favorite to Win the First European Tour Event

Dane Anders Hansen, who made it to be well recognized last year, will play at the fourth Joburg Open this week to give it a try on another accomplishment, on another victory. The tournament will be in South Africa.

Hansen actually moved up in the world rankings because of what he had showed in the previous year. He is now at number 39. And of course, he is currently the second favorite to win the fourth Joburg Open of this year with 14/1 odds with Victor Chandler.

The player ended last year in fine style by having third place finishes in both Alfred Dunhill Championships and the S African Open in December. Thus, it is not that surprising if Victor Chandler seen him as second favorite to win the first European tour event of the year.

It is the South African player, Charl Schwarzel, who is the current favorite for the Joburg Open event. He is the winner of the African Open that happened last week. Also with Victor Chandler, he is at odds of 9/1.

However, some say that punters should be careful about investing on Schwarzel as often no player begins a new year with back to back wins.

The European tour event no doubt has attracted a lot of good players and punters, but it still seems that the betting is very open with no real player dominating.

Other players with good chances include the likes of Darren Clarke and Richard Sterne. Clarke is now at odds of 25/1 with Ladbrokes and Sterne at odds of 14/1 with Bet365. Clarke, in early season, often plays well. While Sterne, is noticeably in good form during the African Open last week, he ended up in a tie for 13th place. They’ve got what it takes to become other possible winners.
