Two weeks ago we watched the drama unfold at the beautiful surroundings of Augusta - but last week's PGA Tour course was pretty special, too.

The PGA Tour heads to New Orleans this week, while the European Tour ventures to South Korea for the Ballantine's Championship - and a lot of home players will fancy their chances of doing well. Korean ladies have begun to dominate the women's game and you sense that a lot more men from that part of the world will begin to emerge due to the success of their golfing godfather K. J. Choi and under-godfather Y. E. Yang. Choi is playing in New Orleans but Yang will be at Blackstone for the Ballantine's, giving his fans the opportunity to see the man who saw off Tiger Woods to win the 2009 USPGA Championship at Hazeltine by three strokes. The 41-year-old is not a regular at the top of Major leaderboards so you could argue that all his Christmases came at once four years ago, but he is not just a one-hit wonder, as he has also won the Honda Classic and recorded top-10 finishes in the Masters and US Open. David Howell will be in Korea, too and having spent time with him on 'Masters Breakfast' a couple of weeks ago, I can reveal that he is in really good spirits and happy with his golf game. The Englishman has been making cut after cut and even though he shot 79 in the final round at the Open de Espana last week in Valencia - a tournament won by France's Raphael Jacquelin after a nine-hole play-off - his best golf is very good and he can't be too far away from a win.

ROB'S SKY BET TIPS

Paul Casey was top 16 in Valencia, while he has plenty of experience of Asia and, because he has played Augusta enough, knowledge of roly-poly greens, too. I am going for him in the Ballantine's Championship, while in the Zurich Classic of New Orleans I will tip Nicolas Colsaerts, as the TPC of Louisiana is a place where the Belgian can loosen his shoulders and give the ball a bit of a smack.
