Home / Golf / Ballantines Championship
The Ballantine's Championship is a South Korean event which was held at the Pinx Golf Club on Jeju Island and now takes place at Blackstone Golf Club in Seoul. It is co-sanctioned by the European Tour, Asia Tour and the Korean PGA, and is a relatively new event as it was established in 2008.
In terms of betting, there could be a bit of value about in the ante-post odds with only US Masters winner Graeme McDowell a really top player to have claimed the title. Other winners include the Australian Marcus Fraser and Thongchai Jaidee from Thailand, who both won after starting the tournament at fairly long odds.
The big names are still to embrace this Asian event but it is surely only a matter of time before the top players from the Race To Dubai start competing and that could have an interesting effect on the betting.
| Year | Winner | Country | Score |
| 2008 | Graeme McDowell | Northern Ireland | 264 (-24) |
| 2009 | Thongchai Jaidee | Thailand | 284 (-4) |
| 2010 | Marcus Fraser | Australia | 204 (-12) |
| 2011 | Lee Westwood | England | 276 (-12) |
| 2012 | Bernd Wiesberger | Austria | 270 (-18) |
Austrian Bernd Wiesberger claimed the 2012 Ballantine's Championship with a total of eighteen under par, beating the field comfortably by five shots. This was the Austrain's first win on tour and he did so in style leading for the final two rounds. Richie Ramasay of Scotland finished a clear second ahead of Victor Duboisson and Marcus Fraser.
Result:
1. Bernd Wiesberger (Austia) - 270 (-18)
2. Richie Ramsay (Scotland) - 275 (-13)
3. Victor Duboisson (France) - 277 (-11)
3. Marcus Fraser (Australia) - 277 (-11)

The Open de Espana, or Spanish Open, follows on from the Ballantine's Championship in the European Tour calendar as players look to pick up more ranking points in the Race To Dubai.
The event at the RCG Sevilla has an illustrious list of winners in the past but more recent winners have tended to be the lesser lights of the tour such as Alviro Quiros and Peter Lawrie.
Current players such as Robert Karlsson and Sergio Garcia have claimed glory in the past and are likely to be well backed in the betting for the tournament in May......
