Aaron Rai for the winThis has already been a monumental year for Aaron Rai after he showed skill and nerve to join the majors club by landing May’s US PGA Championship at Aronimink.More recently, the man from Wolverhampton was runner-up in the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth after signing off with a 66.Winning in Delhi would be special as Rai has Indian heritage and his wife is a pro golfer from India who grew up not too far away from this week’s venue.As well as current form, this course looks right up his street. Rai is one of the most accurate hitters in the field and his precision off the tee will be key.It’s his course debut but Rai is a confident each-way pick. Back Aaron Rai for the win at 16/1 each-way with Betfair Thriston Lawrence best each-way pickThriston Lawrence enjoyed his first look at Delhi GC last year when shooting rounds of 69, 67, 69 and 65 to finish third.The South African won the European Masters at Crans (another short, tree-lined track) for a third time just six starts ago while he finished with a 65 to secure a top 15 in Spain last week.Those hat-trick of wins in the mountains of Switzerland show that he’s a course horse type of player who can repeat strong results at venues he likes.This has to be one of them and he looks the pick of those at 50/1 and above.    Back Lawrence each-way at 55/1 with bet365 Casey Jarvis for first-round leaderCasey Jarvis was quick out of the blocks here last year, shooting a 66 that put him third after 18 holes (he eventually finished 17th).The South African was also second at halfway in March’s Indian Open (finished 13th) on his most recent start in the country.A final tick is noting that Jarvis was runner-up at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland last time out.He was third after round one and leader through 54 holes there so Jarvis has some strong credentials for a first-round leader bet.
