Ben Coley casts his eye over the field for this weeks inaugural Maybank
Championship Malaysia, where he expects Louis Oosthuizen to impress.

Cheap ... If youre still not sure how useful a tool Twitter can be
when it comes to assessing golf tournaments, reports from those involved this
week should make up your mind.The European Tour has been heading to Malaysia for
many years now and recently theyve been joined by the PGA Tour, both using Kuala
Lumpur G&CC as the stage for reasonably high-profile events. Peculiarly,
that meant we got to see that golf course twice a year on Sky Sports. But this
year, the European Tour heads back to Royal Selangor, a course not used since
Alastair Forsyth beat Stephen Leaney in a play-off some 14 years ago.Unless
youve both a particularly good memory and faith that very little has changed
since - which is unlikely given that extensive renovations have taken place -
theres very little to go on.Thankfully, pretty much every player in this field
kind enough to tweet over the last 48 hours has said the same thing - this old
golf course is short, tight, fiddly, firm and fast. Those words are music to the
years of some, particularly the more experienced, accurate professionals, but
may have the likes of Thorbjorn Olesen and Danny Willett waking up in a cold
sweat even in this most humid of climates.Both those players arrive in form
having enjoyed great success in the Middle East, particularly Willett who of
course won the Dubai Desert Classic. But neither can be called accurate off the
tee and thats why Id prefer Louis Oosthuizen from those at the head of the
betting. Oosthuizen won in Malaysia back in 2012 Of course, Oosthuizen is plenty
long enough and he wouldve been well suited by a softer, longer test. But hes
versatile too and many of his best performances, including at St Andrews in
2010, have been under firm conditions.Oosthuizens record in Malaysia shows four
top-10 finishes from five starts while hes been inside the first three in both
starts in Singapore, so there are no concerns about conditions and he could win
in this country for the second time in his career.Granted, the South African has
to bounce back from a missed cut in Dubai but hes sure to be inspired by Charl
Schwartzels romp in Pretoria last week and can follow his friends lead with a
big performance.Gregory Bourdys love affair with Malaysia began in the
Eisenhower Trophy over a decade ago. Gregory Bourdy is a former runner-up in
Malaysia at the Malaysian Open The Frenchman was the leading player for his
country in the amateur team event and finished second in the individual
standings, ahead of players of the calibre of Hunter Mahan and Ricky
Barnes.Since then, hes managed three top-six finishes here as a professional
while one of his standout European Tour performances came courtesy of victory at
Fanling, the firm, fast, fiddly golf course which hosts the Hong Kong
Open.Bourdy was hitting the ball well in the Middle East, hasnt missed a cut in
months and should go well.At a bigger price, Marcus Fraser could also find this
to his liking. Like Bourdy, Fraser is an accurate driver suited by courses like
Fanling and Royal Selangor could be right up his street. Marcus Fraser has
missed the cut in two of his three starts so far this year It was in fact Fraser
who won individual honours in that Eisenhower Trophy I mentioned and having
since won in Korea, his record in the Far East is very good.David Horseys is
less impressive but he was second as a rookie in the 2009 Malaysian Open and
should be well suited by the challenge ahead following a good effort last week
in the Tshwane Open.Horsey has four titles to his name on the European Tour
including on a firm, fast golf course in the Trophee Hassan, so he looks to have
been underestimated in the betting. David Horsey finished inside the top-15 at
last weeks Tshwane Open Finally, Australias Nathan Holman is a talented young
player who played on the Asian Tour previously and should be at an advantage
with that experience in mind.Holman contended for the Dubai Desert Classic until
a disappointing Sunday and having already won this season courtesy of the
Australian PGA, hes overpriced.Watch the Maybank Championship Malaysia

CINCINNATI -- Since the All-Star break, the last-place Reds have traded away
another star and turned into a formidable team.Brandon Phillips had three hits
and left-hander Brandon Finnegan allowed two singles in six innings on Thursday,
leading the Cincinnati Reds to a 7-0 victory and a rare series win over the St.
Louis Cardinals.The Reds took two of three, giving them only their fifth series
win in the last 23 between the NL Central rivals. And it goes beyond the one
series.For the first time since 1999, the Reds have won six straight series
after the All-Star break. They traded RBI leader Jay Bruce to the Mets during
the current surge.This is the time when some teams might phone it in, manager
Bryan Price said. This group hasnt.Phillips had a single and a pair of doubles,
scored three times and drove in a run against former teammate Mike Leake (8-9).
Ramon Cabrera drove in three runs, and Eugenio Suarez knocked in a pair.Finnegan
(7-8) allowed only a pair of singles, and then left after throwing 79 pitches on
a humid, 88-degree afternoon. The bullpen gave up three more singles while
closing out Cincinnatis fourth shutout, which is tied with Milwaukee and
Pittsburgh for the fewest in the NL.I didnt have my best command, Finnegan said.
They hit some balls hard, but we had some guys catch it. I had a lot of movement
on the ball. (It) was a confidence boost, definitely.Reds first baseman Joey
Votto went 0 for 4, ending a 17-game hitting streak that was the longest of his
career.It was the second time that the Reds faced Leake since they traded him in
the middle of last season as part of their rebuilding. On July 7 at Great
American Ball Park, Leake allowed only one earned run in 7 1/3 innings of a 7-6
Reds victory that ended with Vottos homer in the bottom of the ninth.This time,
he left the game after failing to retire a batter in the sixth, giving up eight
hits and seven runs. After spending his first 5 1/2 seasons in Cincinnati, Leake
suspects the Reds have an advantage because they know how he pitches.

Womens. .Im sure it plays a part, Leake said.Leake extended his
streak without walking a batter to 35 innings, the longest in the majors this
season. It ended when Adam Duvall walked on a full-count pitch to open the

walking a batter in 1993. Duvall later scored on Phillips double, his third hit
of the game.The Reds got a pair of runs in the second inning, all on hits to
right field. Phillips singled, Scott Schebler doubled and Cabrera pulled a ball
