British Masters betting tips: Meronk can contend again at Belfry

Adri Arnaus

Arnaus is 25/1 for back-to-back wins after he defeated Oliver Bekker on the sixth play-off hole to win his first DP World Tour title in the Catalunya Championship on Sunday.

The Spaniard was born just an hour away from PGA Catalunya in Barcelona so had home advantage last week and may struggle to reproduce the same form in England.

He is enjoying a fine year, though, having also lost out to fellow Spaniard Pablo Larrazabal in a play-off for the MyGolfLife Open in South Africa in March.

Dean Burmester

Burmester has finished runner-up in two tournaments this year; one on the Challenger Tour and more recently in the DP World Tour’s Steyn City Championship.

The South African was sixth in the British Masters last year so clearly knows his way around The Belfry and is priced at 25/1.

Best of the rest

Three more players are also 25/1 in the outright betting and the pick of them looks to be Sam Horsfield, who was in fine form before injury disrupted his season and he secured a top-20 finish on his return to action with Matt Wallace at the Zurich Classic.

The experienced Lee Westwood is also 25/1 while defending champion Richard Bland is 28/1 to repeat last year’s triumph when he won his first European Tour title at the 478th attempt.

Bland’s win showed the benefit of experience round here and that bodes well for Ross Fisher at 66/1.

He dropped out of the world’s top 400 at the end of last year but is back up to 264th now after a decent run of form including two top-10 finishes.
