Damien McGrane is odds-on across the board after opening up a three-stroke lead in the third round of the Volvo China Open thanks to a four-under-par 68.
The Irishman had started the day a shot behind overnight leader Michael Lorenzo-Vera but some impressive putting, particularly on the back nine, put him in a solid position to claim his maiden European Tour victory.
And the bookies have no doubt he's the man to beat, with William Hill's 4/6 the best price now available.
Oliver Wilson put himself in contention with a two-under-par 70 and is three shots behind McGrane alongside Lorenzo-Vera.
That pair are 9/2 and 6/1 respectively with bet365 and it's then 16/1 and upwards about the rest.
Meanwhile in the Verizon Heritage tournament at Hilton Head, Lucas Glover carded a second successive 66 to claim a one-shot lead at the halfway stage.
Defending champion Boo Weekley is a shot behind on nine under after a 64 and that pair are Sportingbet's 13/2 joint favourites.
Bettingzone's 16/1 pre-tournament tip Stewart Cink comes next at a general 7/1 after a second-round 68 left him three shots off the lead.
Justin Rose withdrew following his opening 76 because of back trouble.
