Tour Insider strikes again at the WA Open! And for the second year in a row the winner was 40/1 at the start of the week, also for the second year in a row… TI did not invest in the event.

Personal financial disappointment aside, a big congratulations to Zach Murray who led from start to finish to collect his first professional win. I see he is in the field this week as an amateur but he no doubt has a big future in the game when he turns professional.

This week we are at the beautiful Brisbane Golf Club in sunny Queensland for what promises to be a great event, the Isuzu Queensland Open. The field is stacked full of talent and although some already believe TI is a genius if I can find a winner this week the legend will grow!

Regular readers would know that TI loves themes so this week we are looking for a first-time winner after the last two events were claimed by Aaron Pike and Zach Murray who recorded their maiden victories. TI warns this will be tough with the likes of Matt Millar, Jarryd Felton, Steve Jeffress and Dan Nisbet all fancied on the Yeerongpilly layout.

Jake McLeod – $17 @ Ladbrokes.com.au

The last time TI tipped Jake we discussed the lad getting a haircut if he won which must have scared him off as he missed the cut… I believe Jake owes TI and is tipping the young lad with very long hair to get off the mark this week with his first victory. Rumour has it he could use the winner’s cheque to pay the debts the underperforming Cowboys cost him this year #BringBackJT

David Micheluzzi – $34 @ Ladbrokes.com.au

Playing in the same group as McLeod, this young pocket rocket is a must watch for fans heading to Brisbane GC this week. Weighing about 50 kegs wringing wet, he regularly smashes the ball in excess of 300 metres and local members will be stunned to see some of the distances he hits the ball on their favourite holes. Finishing a close second to good mate Murray last week may just be enough to spur him over the line this week.

Matthew Guyatt – $67 @ Ladbrokes.com.au

The popular Queenslander who now spends a lot of his time coaching has been doing some sneaky practice and looked relaxed ahead of tomorrow’s first round. Lack of play may be an obstacle to overcome but the "veteran" has plenty of experience on his side and may just crack his first win at The Queensland Open this week.

(Editors note: It seems some dodgy intel has been provided by the TI, Matt won the 2011 NSW PGA Champs. That aside, still a solid selection from our tipping friend.)

Blake Proverbs – $41 @ Ladbrokes.com.au

A name many readers may not know but he has been quietly making his way in his rookie season recording his best finish last week in WA. Many would say it would be a surprise to see him salute but he will know the course well and TI expects his good form to continue.

Cameron John – $21 @ Ladbrokes.com.au

One of TI’s favourites, this lad has been a consistent performer basically all year in his rookie season. He is a past Australian Junior Champion so knows how to win big events and TI thinks if he can believe in himself down the stretch it won’t be long before he will be drinking some lolly water from the trophy.

TI expects amateurs Josh Armstrong, Blake Windred and Louis Dobbelaar all to play well and see no reason last week’s winner Murray couldn’t go back to back.

So it is on the record, TI expects history-making female amateur Becky Kay will make the cut! The local public would do well to follow her around as she plots the course using length that is more familiar to how they hit the ball on a Saturday.

Good luck to all!
