We're tempted to order ourselves a Golf Masters polo shirt with "Hanell" printed above the number 237 on the back. Despite winning a not-to-be-sniffed-at £177,000 in last year's competition, 237th is where the Swede came in our list of "most hired players" during registration this time around. That is: last.

A mere 29 managers opted to hire him which means he failed to make it in to 18,843 of our teams. At least last year's most unloved player, Joel Edwards (who lost his Golf Masters' card) broke the 30 barrier (with 31).

So we are adopting Hanell, currently ranked 132nd in Europe, as our favourite Golf Masters player. Our hero has his own website (chrishanell.com) so we will be able to follow his every move between now and September.

The last update in the news section of his website was posted after his third round at the Dubai Desert Classic. "I am back in 55th place and need to shoot the lights out tomorrow to pull myself up the list and make a good cheque." He shot a 75 in the fourth round, tied for 68th and won just 3,038.77 euros.

Padraig Harrington shot the lights out at the same tournament and won 75,000 Golf Masters' pounds for his managers - 6,811 of them. Yes, Harrington is this year's most popular player, almost a thousand ahead of Aaron Baddeley (19), the Australian who has just received a special invitation to play in next month's US Masters at Augusta.

Despite having his transfer value raised by a million pounds Tiger Woods made it into 2,530 teams, making him our eighth most popular player, but last year's top choice, Darren Clarke, drops to seventh.
