McDowell favourite in betting for Volvo Open
Can Ulsterman Graeme McDowell justify the betting in this week's Volvo Open and make it an asian double by winning in the Olympic City of Beijing.He is justifiably listed as the pre-tournament favourite after his thrilling play off win in Korea last month. Other notables in the field are last years champion, Markus Brier of Austria,champion of 2005, Stephen Dodd , David Howell and former British Open Champion, Paul Lawrie.

David Howell seems to enjoy playing in China, he won the 2006 HSBC championship in Shanghai and seems to be running into form at the right time. Liang Wen-chong, carries Chinese hopes into the tournament and will have an obvious chance with so much support. But there are many talented Chinese golfers these days, and all will be keen to acquit themselves well in this Olympic year.
Others to note this year are Richard Finch, winner NZ open, John Bickerton, Alfred Dunhill Championship, SSP Chowrasia, Indian Masters winner and New Zealander Mark Brown, winner of the Johnnie Walker Classic
