Richie Ramsay can keep up his recent good work under ideal conditions in Paris this week at the Open De France.

Richie Ramsay headlines this week's picks in Paris
BRONZE: 1pt e.w. Richie Ramsay at 33/1 (General 1/4 1,2,3,4,5) - playing at a high level currently and has conditions to suit
BRONZE: 1pt e.w. Bradley Dredge at 125/1 (Sky Bet 1/4 1,2,3,4,5,6) - still swings the club brilliantly and running into some form
BRONZE: 1pt e.w. Chris Doak at 500/1 (BetVictor 1/4 1,2,3,4,5) - one or two little signs that his form is about to turn around and worth a chance at a mammoth price
BRONZE: 1pt e.w. Matthew Nixon at 300/1 (General 1/4 1,2,3,4,5) - will be inspired by Chris Paisley's display in Germany and could be the week he makes an impact
BRONZE: 1pt e.w. Peter Lawrie to be first round leader at 150/1 (Stan James, Ladbrokes 1/4 1,2,3,4,5) - touch he found on the green last week could help him make a much-needed fast start
A sparkling run of tournaments gets under way this week with the Open de France at Le Golf National in Paris.
This is going to be quite a test physically with temperatures set to exceed 100F and a course which is hugely enjoyed and respected by the players will be playing firm and fast with a linksy feel to proceedings.

Finau poised for breakthrough win
- By: Ben Coley
- Last Updated: June 29 2015, 19:50 BST
After securing more each-way profits last week, Ben Coley previews the Greenbrier Classic with Tony Finau his best bet.
Tony Finau: Should go well in West Virginia
1.5pts e.w. Tony Finau at 45/1 (Paddy Power, Coral 1/4 1,2,3,4,5) - altitude experience and form catch the eye
1pt e.w. Andres Romero at 200/1 (General 1/4 1,2,3,4,5) - altitude specialist placed here previously
0.5pt e.w. Jim Renner at 500/1 (General 1/4 1,2,3,4,5,6) - 16th last year when in dire form; better lately
1pt e.w. Chad Campbell at 150/1 (General 1/4 1,2,3,4,5) - top-25s in his last two starts; should go well
1pt e.w. Jon Curran at 125/1 (General 1/4 1,2,3,4,5) - in-form rookie would not be winning out of turn
1pt e.w. Chez Reavie at 225/1 (BoyleSports 1/4 1,2,3,4,5) - worth sticking with after solid effort last week
Fresh from their fascinating play-off on Sunday, Bubba Watson and Paul Casey head the betting for the Greenbrier Classic in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.
Watson, who is edging towards his career goal of 10 PGA Tour titles after that defeat of Casey, was so taken with this place two years ago that he bought a house at the property and he's not alone - this is a popular PGA Tour stop known for its off-course facilities and an old-fashioned style that includes a strict 7pm dress code in the clubhouse.
Whether or not Tiger Woods is here for the shooting, the tennis or the golf, clearly his name stands out among the entries as he bids to find form in time for St Andrews and what increasingly seems like an unlikely 15th major championship. Woods missed the cut here on his sole visit and is around the 50/1 mark following an appalling US Open.
As for Bubba, top-30 finishes in both starts confirm that he can deal with this classical par-70, one whose greatest challenge probably comes from the fact we are at high altitude and it's difficult for many to control their distance. Watson plays a lot of golf here with Jim Justice, the billionaire who bought the complex out of bankruptcy, and could quite easily go back-to-back if his brain is engaged.
