Resident tipster Tom Jacobs reveals his KLM Open betting tips for the DP World Tour event.

KLM Open betting tips
The Banker: Ewen Ferguson 33/1 e/w (Paddy Power 6 Places)
Ewen Ferguson lost to Kristoffer Reitan in a playoff last time out at the Soudal Open, but he can put that right quickly, on a course he played well at last year.
Ferguson’s 2nd at the Soudal Open was his sixth straight made cut, and the first proper sign that he’s ready to add to his win tally this season.
When 33rd at the Turkish Airlines Open, Ferguson was inside the top 10 after rounds 2 and 3, and when 17th at the Indian Open, he was 8th going into the final round, so he’s been in position of couple of times already this season. That said, hovering around the top 10 and being in contention to win are two very different situations, and his effort last time out gives me hope he can add to an already impressive win tally.
It took Ferguson a little while to get going on the DP World Tour, but once he broke through in 2022, he was ready to go, winning again later that year and adding a third win in 2024. Given the lack of depth on the DP World Tour these days, Ferguson has the potential to be one of the best players on the Tour, he just needs to find some consistency.
Last year, Ferguson got off to a decent start in this event, sitting 5th at halfway and still inside the top 10 going into the final round. A disappointing Sunday saw him fall away to 27th, but I am confident that if he finds himself in contention again for the second start in a row, he can kick on this week and win.
27th, 25th, and 14th in his last three starts in SG Tee to Green, Ferguson is showing promise, and while his irons aren’t razor sharp right now, he’s the type that I can think can find it here. At 33/1, I think he’s decent value.
The Outsider: Brandon Stone 40/1 e/w (Paddy Power 6 Places)
While the stats are a bit iffy when not in mainland Europe, Brandon Stone has clearly been hitting the ball well all season, and it’s been the putter that’s held him back from adding to his three wins on the DP World Tour.
We are relying on a good week with the flat stick, but everything else seems to be in order for Stone, who finished 21st here on debut before missing the cut on his return 12 months ago.
With six top 30 finishes in his last nine starts, Stone has certainly found a level of consistency, and on several occasions, he’s offered to go better than his finish suggests.
Stone finished 23rd at the Hainan Classic but was 11th at halfway. When he was 6th in India, his best finish of the season, he was sitting 2nd going into Sunday, and when 20th in Singapore, he was 10th at halfway and was a victim of the event being cut to 54 holes.
This course has a links feel to it, and that will suit Stone, who likes to play a bit more carefree off the tee, and as someone who has won the Scottish Open back in 2018.
I think this consistency is going to turn into a really big week for Stone at some point soon, and I like the look of his chances at this golf course in particular.
The Longshot: Oliver Lindell 80/1 e/w (Paddy Power 6 Places)
Oliver Lindell is starting to find the level of consistency that got him onto this tour last year, and while he hasn’t yet been able to replicate the multitude of top 5 finishes he put together on the Challenge Tour last season, he’s getting closer!
Lindell finished 13th last week, and that was his third straight top 25. He is now up to four top 25s on the season, suggesting he’s finding his feet in time for the summer.
He finished strongly to land a top 12 finish at the Turkish Airlines Open, and then grew into the Soudal Open, where he was 4th going into the final round. He shot a final round 75 to fall away on Sunday, but bounced right back last week, climbing the leaderboard after every round.
Lindell has had a chance to win already this season, contending at the Australian Open in December, where he was inside the top 3 for the first three rounds. He went into Sunday just two shots adrift and fell away, but it’s all learning experiences at this point. At the Soudal Open, he was 4th going into Sunday, but would have had to push hard, still sitting 5 strokes back of the lead, and that unfortunately caught him out.
He didn’t get close enough to the lead to contend last week, but he was solid throughout, and I like his chances of improving again and cementing his best finish of the season this week, off the back of a good three-event stretch.
Lindell has ranked 6th, 15th and 2nd in SG Approach and 17th, 12th and 13th in SG Tee to Green in his last three starts, so the foundations are there, and it’s now time for him to kick on and contend for the win, as he did several times last season, albeit at a lower grade.
