THE BETTING $2.75 Jordan Spieth $8 Adam Scott $17 Marc Leishman $21 John Senden OTHERS: $26 Matt Jones $31 Steven Bowditch, Lee Westwood $51 Geoff Ogilvy $67 Peter Senior Source: UBET Defending champion Jordan Spieth Course record Jordan Spieth 63 (2014) THE CONTENDERS JORDAN SPIETH (US, pictured) The world No.1 loves the firm fairways and pure greens and the good vibes of his stellar 63 to win last year triggered a super 12 months. The world's best putter is equipped to go back-to-back. 
ADAM SCOTT Lost count of his birdies in yesterday's hot pro-am round. "On a mission," he said. Inconsistency is his demon. Toppling Spieth with the world watching would end the endless short-putter questions.
MARC LEISHMAN Hasn't played a tournament here since 2007 but top short game for the greens and hollows around them makes him a big chance. Craving his first big Australian tournament victory.
JOHN SENDEN The bloke you'd back to finish second to 10th in every big Australian event but hasn't a regular winner's head. The 2006 Australian Open champion would love to dump that reputation with a second win MATT JONES Great value as a $26 shot with his strong home course vibes, knowledge of the wind and the fun of having brother Brett in the field too. The world No.81 and coming off four top-10 finishes in the US this year.
THE ROUGHIE GREG CHALMERS If the wind blows and the greens firm, the leftie with the wizard short game may just challenge as a 60-1 shot as he did last year when he finished fourth.
