The Omega European Masters has been held at the famed Crans-sur-Siere GC since 1939, making it one of the longest-standing stops on the DP World Tour.

BEST BET
AARON RAI
Englishman Aaron Rai is back in Europe and looks a nice play this week after a strong season on the DP World Tour.
Rai is an elite iron player and scrambler and that is the combo you need this week.
He ranks second in Strokes Gained: Approach, seventh in GIR, 10th in Strokes Gained: Tee To Green and 11th in Scrambling.
Missed the cut here during his two starts but those experiences will serve him well.
Form is strong with a T-5 at the Wyndham two starts back.
BEST VALUE
MARCO PENGE
Marco Penge is absolutely airborne at the moment with two wins since April including a win in Denmark two starts back.
Finished T-6 at the British Masters last start and was T-2 at the Scottish Open.
He leads the Tour in Birdies while he ranks third in Putts Per GIR, sixth in GIR and 15th in Strokes Gained: Putting.
HAOTONG LI
Haotong Li has plenty of experience at Crans with three made cuts from five starts.
He ranks second in Birdies, third in Strokes Gained: Approach, eighth in GIR and 13th in Strokes Gained: Tee To Green.
He finished fourth at The Open Championship and comes into this off a T-8 at the British Masters.
BEST ROUGHIES
MARTIN COUVRA
Underrated Frenchman Martin Couvra profiles nicely for this.
Ranks 10th in Birdies and in Strokes Gained: Approach as well as 15th in Putts Per GIR.
He broke through in Turkey in May and has shown nothing but upside this year.
BRANDON STONE
South African Brandon Stone has been back to his best with 13 Top 25s since October last year.
He ranks seventh in Strokes Gained: Tee To Green, ninth in Strokes Gained: Approach and 11th in GIR.
Big hope at odds.
