Madeira Islands Open Tips: Ben Evans

Madeira Islands Open Tips: Ben Evans

Finished T10 in 2008 and enjoyed a strong finish to the 2014 Challenge Tour season.

The Madeira Islands Open is a co-sanctioned event between the European Tour and Challenge Tour but look through the line-up and it has much more of a Challenge Tour feel to it.

That isn’t necessarily a bad thing and therefore I’m drawn to those with form on the ‘second division’ circuit.

Ben Evans finished 17th on the Challenge Tour money list last season, with his best results coming in the second half of the year. From September onwards he finished T4-T6-T65-T23-2-T84-13-36 and should feel confident at this level.

Opportunities have been limited so far in 2015 but Evans did manage a T12 at the Indian Open which suggests his game is in good shape.

Back in 2008, he finished T10 at the Madeira Islands Open on this week’s Santo da Serra course.

With good memories to draw upon he is overpriced at 90/1 (Stan James).
