Seeing as we did pretty well with the masters, we decided to have a look at a few more recent events. Thanks to @Borntowin_2016 for giving us a shoutout and requesting a bit of guidance on this week's European Tour event - the Volvo China Open.
This one's a bit harder to predict than the Masters but here's our thoughts on who we think you should put that spare dollar or quid on over the next few days. We've also tried to mix it up with a few shorter odds and longer odds.
1. Ross Fisher - 12/1
If you believe in the phrase 'trending for a win', then this will be the test of it. Fisher has three top 5's in his last three outings and is looking in some of his best form. He's surely going to be there or there abouts on the final day.
2. Fabrizio Zanotti - 25/1
Already a winner on Tour this year, this guy has been playing some great stuff of late. A top 5 last week will surely give him confidence going in to this one.

3. David Lipsky - 25/1
Don't be fooled by him not being one of the big profile players on tour, Lipsky has some serious game. The American also saves some of his best golf for China, finishing tied 5th last week and a 9th place finish at this tournament last year. Lipskey has been close to winning this year, finishing behind Zanotti at the Maybank Championship in February.
4. Haotong Li - 33/1
Despite his recent pretty sketchy form (including missing the cut last week), Haotong Li is the current Champ. Obviously a lot of pressure comes with that responsibility, but at 33/1 for a former champion we think it's worth a few on a top 10 finish.
5. Lucas Bjerregard - 50/1
Another player who's going through some rocky form of late, however a 3rd place finish here last year demonstrates he knows how to get around this course. If you believe in 'horses for courses' then this guy could be your man.
6. Yan Wei Liu - 150/1
A complete wildcard pick, but with an 11th placed finish last week and with home support, maybe he could do something special??? Probably not, But if he does? We said it first.
What do you think? Let us know on our social media platforms and we'll give you a shoutout.
