Amongst a host of other top names competing are Martin Kaymer, Jason Dufner, Peter Hanson and Ernie Els, although Els' fancies another of Europe's Ryder Cup heroes to have a big week. While sweet on the chances of compatriot Oosthuizen, Els believes a revitalised Sergio Garcia is also likely to prove a big danger. "I think Louis is probably the favourite this week, and Sergio," said the Open champion. "Sergio, last time he played, he won in Johor (Malaysia). "This is one of the tougher courses on the Middle Eastern swing. This golf course always plays quite difficult - the wind blows a bit more here normally, so scoring can be difficult." Els has been grouped together with Garcia and Lawrie for the first two rounds of the tournament, while Oosthuizen finds himself in the company of Kaymer and Rose.
