SIMON Dyson could be worth a flutter as the China Open tees off today.

The North Yorkshire king of swing is the favourite with every leading bookmaker to scoop the £169,590 first prize at the Shanghai Silport Golf Course in the Jiangsu Province.

Dyson, a best price 10-1 this week, is a previous winner having scooped the title when becoming the Asian Order of Merit winner as a rookie back in 2000.

The Malton and Norton Golf Club star has been the model of consistency this season, having already scooped two third places in Malaysia and Singapore alongside seventh in the Dubai Desert Classic.

He's playing the first two rounds with Indian Shiv Kapur and Australian Brad Kennedy.
