Who to watch for at the Omega European Masters
Best Bets:
Jamie Donaldson
2013 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CUT | T9 | T3 | T23 | CUT | WD | CUT | WD | T18 |
On a high going into this week, Donaldson has the best record of late and has a couple of top-ten’s at Crans-Sur-Sierre.
Bradley Dredge
2013 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CUT | CUT | CUT | 2 | T55 | 3 | Win | T15 | T20 | T4 |
Game has been red-hot in two starts in August, he also finished runner-up in Switzerland so a very good choice.
Thomas Bjorn
2013 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Win | CUT | Win | T15 | CUT | T26 | T23 |
Can’t go wrong with him after the way he has played here the last couple of years.
Best of the rest:
Miguel A. Jimenez
2013 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T5 | T11 | T9 | Win | 4 | T3 | CUT | T37 | T13 | 2 | T8 | 63 |
The most interesting man in the world returns to one of his favorite places. Never under estimate this guy due to his age, he has a very good chance of winning this week.
Victor Dubuisson
2013 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
3 | T49 | CUT |
Starting to get ready for the Ryder Cup, he has played well in this event finishing 3rd last year.
Brooks Koepka
2013 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T7 |
Played great last year which shows he can play the course under bad conditions. His game hasn’t been very consistent other than playing well at the U.S. Open and PGA, signs that he can play well on a tight course like this.
Marc Warren
2013 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Won just a couple of weeks ago, has played well here twice.
Solid contenders
Matteo Manassero

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T34 | T34 | T18 | 3 | T23 |
Looking to turn around what has been a sub-par year for him.
Soren Kjeldsen
2013 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T54 | CUT | T32 | CUT | T48 | T4 | CUT | WD |
Playing well and could be a factor this week.
Ross Fisher
2013 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T5 | T64 | CUT | CUT |
Finished T-5th last year, he could go on a roll in the Swiss Alps.

Always know he will play well, just a pick in the dark if he can win this week.
Long shots that could come through:
Danny Willett

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Was runner-up two years ago, another great longshot pick.
Tommy Fleetwood
