| Golf Betting Preview: Asia Pacific Classic |
Vijah Singh is one of the frontrunners in this tournament.The former world number one and three-time Major champion headlines an elite field at the Mines Resort and Golf Club which includes title holder Ben Crane, a trio of Major champions in Angel Cabrera, Lucas Glover and Stewart Cink, Camilo Villegas, Robert Allenby and Asia's top stars Thongchai Jaidee, Jeev Milkha Singh and current Order of Merit leader S.S.P. Chowrasia. The US$6.1 million showpiece, sanctioned by the Asian Tour and PGA Tour, is an event Singh would dearly love to win as he has strong links to Malaysia where he launched his professional career in the country during the early 1980s. Furthermore, he is now free from injuries which had curtailed his performances over the past two years. His maiden professional victory came at the 1984 Malaysian PGA Championship and he also won the country's national Open twice in 1992 and 2001, the last time he was in the country. Singh has now won 56 victories worldwide but none since 2008 largely due to his spell out with injuries. An honorary member of the Asian Tour, Singh was delighted to see the game growing immensely across the region. "So many courses and so many tournaments now," he said. "When we played here, we were trying to look for tournaments to play in. Nowadays, we can pick and choose what we want to play. That's the big change. Golf in Asia is so much bigger now. The opportunities are there for the game to grow further. He revealed that he nearly packed it in with his career after being struck by knee and back injuries. "I thought that was the end of it. Luckily enough, I found this doctor in Germany and we did great therapy work and (there was) no more pain," said Singh, who is renowned for his strict fitness regime. "Once you're pain free, you can play your normal game. I thought I was strong enough to play golf hurt and get away with it. I'm pain free now, I'm healthy and I've started to work out like I used to and hitting balls a lot more. I'm looking forward to next year. This is my last event (this season) and hopefully I can finish the year with a big bang," said Singh. Title holder Crane was delighted to be back at the CIMB Asia Pacific Classic, Malaysia. He won the McGladrey Classic on the PGA Tour recently to signal his intention of retaining his title at the Mines Resort. Like Singh, Australia's Allenby, a four-time winner on the PGA Tour, also has fond memories of Malaysia as he won his first professional title here in 1992. "I won my first professional event as a pro not too far away in Ipoh which was the Perak Masters. I got great memories of Malaysia," said the 40-year-old Australian. When the pros tees off in this event, Bet Phoenix will have it covered with the latest odds and golf betting options.
