Anyone else search in vain for Kruger in the OFL player list?

Colsaerts +10 after 16 holes :shock:

No, but I did receive a PM about this very matter.

My reply is below:

As stated on the Player List page:

"This list includes all players in the top 50 of the Official World Golf Rankings, European Tour members (category 12 or lower), PGA Tour members (category 28 or lower) and John Daly!"

As per the Race to Dubai rankings on the European Tour site, Jbe Kruger (ranked 118) is shown as an affiliate member and therefore does not fulfil the above criteria. Indeed, many of his appearances on the European Tour this year have come as a result of his status on the Sunshine Tour Order of Merit, sponsor invitations or finishing in the top 10 of the previous European Tour event.

However, if Kruger maintains his ranking in the top 150 of the Race to Dubai rankings (and therefore qualify for exemption category 12) and takes up his European Tour membership, he will be added for next year's competition.

Villigas is your archetypal "Horse for Courses" player in my opinion.
A world beater if playing on courses which suit him and your "Pants" statement on others
Having said that, your choices in the YP and Scotsman game were either him or no-one in group 5

With 2 courses being used the leaderboard is a bit deceptive.
The top is dominated by those who played the shorter Tangjong course.
We should have a better idea of who will do well after tonight.
My guess is that Fdez-Castano is well placed to have a good weekend. :wink:

Indeed Mr Green, I knew he wouldn't be there, didn't stop me wanting to pick him though

I'm hoping for big things from Villegas today, as I pondered long and hard when choosing him ahead of Anthony Kim.

Kim is -5 after 11 holes today

Yeah, but only because I haven't got a bet on him. :roll:
