Lee Westwood, who heads into this week's Smurfit European Open at the K Club as a 6 to 1 joint-favourite with Colin Montgomerie, looks the better bet. Montgomerie cited fatigue as the main reason for missing the Irish Open - so will a week's rest be enough? By contrast, Westwood has worked his way back to his best after a sluggish start to his season. For a good each-way bet 40 to 1 shot Robert Karlsson looks the man.
