Taiheiyo Masters

With the European and US Tours now over for the year, many professionals will be clocking up the air miles over the coming weeks in an attempt to keep their games ticking over - and collect some sizeable appearance fees in the process. This week's event is the first of three big-money tournaments form Japan, and has attracted the likes of Lee Westwood, Darren Clarke and Graeme McDowell from our Tour. Westwood is no stranger to the Far East having completed a hat-trick here in 1996-98, and that stacks up well against an excellent year in Europe which includes eight top-10 finishes, but surprisingly no win. That could be about to change this week, and he looks excellent value at 13/2, especially considering the Japanese Tour is lacking in any real stars. The best of the home contingent could be Shingo Katayama, who has managed 13 top-10 finishes in 14 starts including two victories, and not surprisingly tops the Money List.bet365 Taiheiyo Masters prices ?
