ROB'S SKY BET TIPS

I am not surprised Charl Schwartzel is favourite to win the Volvo Golf Champions in South Africa but I am going to go for a man who is having a career renaissance and getting better and better all the time and that is the old Danish warhorse, Thomas Bjorn who is 11/1 with Sky Bet. In the Sony Open, meanwhile, it would be easy to go for Johnson or Jordan Spieth, who recorded his fourth second-placed finish on the PGA Tour at the Hyundai, but I am going to go for 20/1 shot Jason Dufner, who played well last week and must have a chance if he putts well.
