Can the big Scot give it the full Monty and land a hat-trick of Murphy's Irish Open titles at Druids Glen? Or will the young pretender - a player who felt the brunt of Colin Montgomerie's closing 62 in the event last year - continue where he left off before departing for a brief visit to the US Tour?
Lee Westwood won his last two tournaments in Europe - in the Deustche Bank TPC of Europe and the English Open - before flying out to America and his decision to seek a sponsor's invitation to compete in the Irish Open hints at some sort of fate taking a hand.
The Englishman is on offer at 10 to 1 and the course - which demands good driving, solid approach play and confident putting - suits Westwood's game. However, there is a touch of real quality about the field and the odds on Westwood may be a little less than generous. Still, he could be the man.
For an each-way bet, how about Italian Massimo Florioli? This graduate of the Challenge Tour is enjoying a superb season and, at odds of 66 to 1, is definitely worth a saver.
