SERGIO GARCIA ODDS-ON FAVOURITE TO WIN NEDBANK CHALLENGE

Considering the form that Sergio Garcia has been in for the past few tournaments, winning two of his last three, it is unsurprising that Garcia has emerged as the outright favourite to win the tournament. Teeing off this weekend in South Africa, a number of top international players are in contention to bank another big victory. CURRENT ODDSThe current odds from totesport, a top British bookmaker, have indicated that Garcia is a hefty favourite at this point, listed at 11/4 as outright winner. The distant second-place favourite is Robert Karlsson who is sitting at 6/1. A smattering of relatively big names also round out the list of contenders as players like Lee Westwood (7/1), KJ Choi (16/1) and Justin Rose (12/1) step up to take on Garcia. OTHER COMPETITORSLast year's winner Thomas Immelman is listed at 7/1 alongside Westwood. James Kingston, who secured his position in the tournament by winning the South African Open has the longest odds, but certain punters predict that his enthusiasm could carry him much further than many others would normally think. It should also be noted that Garcia leads the First Round Leader betting stakes as well, with odds sitting at 9/2 that his name will top the leaderboard after the first round is complete.Recommendations:Back Garcia as first round leader @ 9/2Back James Kingston to Win @ 40/1
