Predictions:
Lee Westwood, @14/1
Former World No.1 Lee Westwood owns 25 European Tour titles. But he has never tasted victory at the Italian Open.
The English veteran has recorded four top-10s at this event, however, and has only missed the cut on two occasions from 10 starts.
Victor Perez @12/1
Victor Perez, made his breakthrough in the Dunhill Links last time out, he found more than 90 per cent of greens in regulation on his way to St Andrews glory. The Frenchman is a rock-solid tee-to-green operator who should appreciate the stiff long-game test of Chervo.
Matt Wallace @9/1
Wallace could be described as unlucky to have teed up alongside an inspired Adrian Otaegui in Fife on Sunday – the Spaniard threw a 63 at him in the final group but the Englishman greatly encouraged Otaegui by bogeying the opening hole and covering the easy front nine in level par.
Adri Arnaus @25/1
Adri Arnaus can keep it high in Italy. Arnaus seems on the path to becoming a European Tour great and a maiden success at Chervo Golf Club is entirely feasible.
