Oman Open betting tips: Top tip
Fabrizio Zanotti (100/1) due to his price, but I am happy to have him as my leading selection despite the large odds.
The Paraguayan’s season has not got off to the best start results-wise but he put in two good rounds in the 60s last time out in Saudi Arabia although he really cancelled them out with rounds of 72 and 73 on the other two days.
This course is clearly suited to his game as he has finished tied 2nd and tied 7th in the last two seasons but there is more to that than meets the eye.
Parallels can be drawn between his opening of this season and that of his 2018 season when he tied for 7th here. He came into that week on the back of a tied 6oth finish and before that a missed cut. This week he heads to Oman on the back of a tied 56th finish and before that a missed cut.
Of course recent form on the European Tour is important and often a good guide when making selections but there is clearly something here that just fits with Zanotti. He will know that he can perform here despite what has gone on in previous weeks and I think he’s in with a great chance of collecting win No. 3 and an even better chance of a place.
