Justin Rose will try to make records because the first 3-peater in two many years at an ET occasion, however he'll must do it at a distinctive venue. The Montgomerie Maxx Royal in Antalya, Turkey -- designed with the aid of Colin Montgomerie, no much less -- will host this year's restrained discipline event for the primary time seeing that 2015 as the Race to Dubai starts its final 3 occasion run. Victor Dubuisson and Brooks Koepka probable wish they have been playing this week, as Dubuisson received the occasion at this direction twice and Koepka once.

But the large question is... Who will win it this week?

I don't have any concept, to be honest. I don't don't forget a good deal about this path from its time as 2013-2015 host, and several of the ET gamers who're gambling nicely aren't inside the subject this week. Nevertheless, I actually have some mind...

  • My Top10er this week is Kurt Kitamura. This American has won twice on the ET this season. His most recent win was in early March, but he has been playing some decent golf of late. Although he only posted a T28 at the WGC-HSBC last week, his previous two finishes were a 3rd and a 4th. And after posting a strong 68 in his final round at the WGC, I think he could be a factor this week.
  • And my winner is Bernd Wiesberger. Another player with a so-so finish last week (T49), I can forgive him since he was coming off an Italian Open win. He also won in July and in May, so overall he's played well this year. I could see him picking up a fourth win this week.
My picks have a total of five wins this season, so they should have a decent chance to do well in Turkey.

GC's stay insurance begins early Thursday at 4am ET.
