2016 Trophee Hassan II Golf Tip

The tree lined Par 72 7,487yd Red Course at  is in keeping with many Robert Trent Jones layouts, in that it features dog legged fairways and raised greens, which will require precision iron play to get at pins on these small undulating greens.

Sunshine and showers with light breezes are forecast for the four days, so expect another low scoring heat this week.

Trophee Hassan II Golf Tip

Gregory Havret 33/1 E/W Ladbrokes

Tournament sponsors must be relieved that a battalion of French players have decided to make the long haul from China to Morocco to boost this weak event, including the in form Gregory Havret. The genial Frenchman who turns forty later this year has played some decent golf this season, including a Tied 6th in India,Tied 10th in Thailand and a Tied 13th in the Volvo China Open last week. He finished a highly respectable Tied 15th here in 2010 and this fairways and greens merchant should be well suited to this type of test. In such a weak heat, he represents solid each-way value.
