The European Tour heads to the iconic Valderrama Golf Club for the Andalucia Masters this week and James Mason has picked out the best bets ahead of Thursday's opening round in Spain.

Andalucia Valderrama Masters 2019 Betting Odds

Ashley Chesters to win @ 55/1 - BET NOW

It is no surprise to see defending champion Sergio Garcia leading the betting due to his sensational record, having won the tournament in 2011, 2017 and 2018, but he has missed four cuts from his last six outings and others appeal more.

Spaniard Jon Rahm arrives on the back of a tied-third finish at the US Open and can't be ignored, while Englishman Matthew Fitzpatrick is out to land his sixth European Tour title.

However, Englishman Ashley Chesters looks very tempting and he gets the nod to claim the spoils in Spain. The world number 356 has impressed during his two previous outings in this tournament, finishing tied-12th on debut in 2017 before taking fourth last year.

Valderrama is also a course that rewards accuracy off the tee and that is an area the 29-year-old has thrived in this season. He currently sits ninth in driving accuracy, having hit 72.7 per cent of fairways from 48 rounds.

The Shrewsbury-born star, who is still chasing his maiden professional title, is also 23rd in greens in regulation and should be in the mix come Sunday's final round.

Andalucia Valderrama Masters 2019 Betting Tips

First-Round Leader - Alvaro Quiros @ 95/1 - BET NOW

One of several Spanish players in the field, Quiros, who grew up just a 13-minute drive from Valderrama Golf Club in San Roque, has shown some impressive form lately and I am backing him to keep that momentum going.

The 36-year-old was tied-18th at the Made in Denmark before shooting a superb six-under-par 66 on his final round at the BMW International Open last week to take a share of third.

In last year's edition, the world number 280 opened with a three-under-par 68, leaving him just two shots off the pace on day one, and it would be no surprise to see him start positively once again.

Andalucia Valderrama Masters 2019 Prediction

Aaron Rai to win @ 51/1 - BET NOW

Englishman Rai is another big price and I backing him to put on a strong showing this week. The 24-year-old bounced back to form with a tied-18th finish at the Made in Denmark last time out and should be refreshed for the Spanish event.

The world number 156 ended up in a share of eighth when making his tournament debut in 2017 and his impressive work off the tee should put him in good stead for another positive display.

Rai is 15th in both driving accuracy and greens in regulation this season, so there is every chance he could land his second European Tour title, having broken his duck at the 2018 Hong Kong Open.
