Preview

Bernd Wiesberger and Tommy Fleetwood, who are first and second in the Race to Dubai standings, tee off in the final twoball of the DP World Tour Championship at 8.40am UK and Ireland time at the Earth Course in Dubai.

Wiesberger, third in the Nedbank Challenge last Sunday as Fleetwood won the title, can be backed at 11-8 with Betfred for twoball success.

With a windy opening afternoon forecast, it may be worth chancing Shane Lowry, a master at handling breeze, to beat Jon Rahm in their 8.30am contest. Rahm has not played a competitive round for almost seven weeks, so may be rusty in round one.
