Fantasy three to watch in Beijing

We're into the fourth week of competition in the 2016 Fantasy Race to Dubai and things are starting to hot up. Who've you got in your side for this week's Volvo China Open? Here are three suggestions from our stats guru...

Dean Burmester

Pick of the favourites: Alex Levy

Alexander Levy

Alex Levy has been spotted at the business end of many a leaderboard in recent times so don't be surprised if the Frenchman is contention again this week in Beijing. The 25 year old won the Volvo China Open in 2014 and followed up with a third place finish last year. His 68.8 average over the last two years is unmatched by anyone and with a top five last week at the Shenzhen International, plus a runner-up finish in Australia earlier this season, he will be full of confidence again this week.

Form Horse: Dean Burmester

Dean Burmester

He may not yet be a household name but on paper Dean Burmester has quietly become a serious contender on The European Tour. The South African, who now ranks inside the top 100 in the world, is third on Tour in Stroke Average this season with an average score of 69.88 and first in Driving Distance with an average tee shot of 324 yards. As for form, in his last 13 worldwide starts, Burmester has two wins, two runner-up finishes and five more top 15s. On The European Tour he has notched an impressive seven top 20s in his last eight starts.

The Wildcard: Brett Rumford

Brett Rumford

Brett Rumford is enjoying a remarkable comeback to The European Tour having had30cm of his small intestine removedlast year. The 38 year old, who won the Volvo China Open in 2013, has two top tens in his last three starts and his scoring average this season is his lowest in 17 years on The European Tour. In eight starts at this event, Rumford has three top 15 finishes compared to just one missed cut. If he gets his putter rolling this week then the Australian may well mark his Volvo China Open return with a trophy.
