One of the very few players who enters this week with a chance to win the Race to Dubai with a victory in this event, it has become increasingly difficult to rule Alex Noren out of winning any event any more.

The winner at last week’s Nedbank Golf Challenge, the Swede has now picked up four wins since July and has leaped up to a career high ninth in the world golf rankings as a result of his incredible second half of the season.

A 38th place finish here last year doesn’t provide the sort of concrete evidence for his chances at the DP World Tour Championship that many of his rivals possess, but right now it would take a very brave man to bet against Noren on any course on the planet.
