Ben Coley casts his eye over the field for this weeks inaugural Maybank Championship Malaysia, where he expects Louis Oosthuizen to impress... If youre still not sure how useful a tool Twitter can be when it comes to assessing golf tournaments, reports from those involved this week should make up your mind.The European Tour has been heading to Malaysia for many years now and recently theyve been joined by the PGA Tour, both using Kuala Lumpur G&CC as the stage for reasonably high-profile events. Peculiarly, that meant we got to see that golf course twice a year on Sky Sports. But this year, the European Tour heads back to Royal Selangor, a course not used since Alastair Forsyth beat Stephen Leaney in a play-off some 14 years ago.Unless youve both a particularly good memory and faith that very little has changed since - which is unlikely given that extensive renovations have taken place - theres very little to go on.Thankfully, pretty much every player in this field kind enough to tweet over the last 48 hours has said the same thing - this old golf course is short, tight, fiddly, firm and fast. Those words are music to the years of some, particularly the more experienced, accurate professionals, but may have the likes of Thorbjorn Olesen and Danny Willett waking up in a cold sweat even in this most humid of climates.Both those players arrive in form having enjoyed great success in the Middle East, particularly Willett who of course won the Dubai Desert Classic. But neither can be called accurate off the tee and thats why Id prefer Louis Oosthuizen from those at the head of the betting. Oosthuizen won in Malaysia back in 2012 Of course, Oosthuizen is plenty long enough and he wouldve been well suited by a softer, longer test. But hes versatile too and many of his best performances, including at St Andrews in 2010, have been under firm conditions.Oosthuizens record in Malaysia shows four top-10 finishes from five starts while hes been inside the first three in both starts in Singapore, so there are no concerns about conditions and he could win in this country for the second time in his career.Granted, the South African has to bounce back from a missed cut in Dubai but hes sure to be inspired by Charl Schwartzels romp in Pretoria last week and can follow his friends lead with a big performance.Gregory Bourdys love affair with Malaysia began in the Eisenhower Trophy over a decade ago. Gregory Bourdy is a former runner-up in Malaysia at the Malaysian Open The Frenchman was the leading player for his country in the amateur team event and finished second in the individual standings, ahead of players of the calibre of Hunter Mahan and Ricky Barnes.Since then, hes managed three top-six finishes here as a professional while one of his standout European Tour performances came courtesy of victory at Fanling, the firm, fast, fiddly golf course which hosts the Hong Kong Open.Bourdy was hitting the ball well in the Middle East, hasnt missed a cut in months and should go well.At a bigger price, Marcus Fraser could also find this to his liking. Like Bourdy, Fraser is an accurate driver suited by courses like Fanling and Royal Selangor could be right up his street. Marcus Fraser has missed the cut in two of his three starts so far this year It was in fact Fraser who won individual honours in that Eisenhower Trophy I mentioned and having since won in Korea, his record in the Far East is very good.David Horseys is less impressive but he was second as a rookie in the 2009 Malaysian Open and should be well suited by the challenge ahead following a good effort last week in the Tshwane Open.Horsey has four titles to his name on the European Tour including on a firm, fast golf course in the Trophee Hassan, so he looks to have been underestimated in the betting. David Horsey finished inside the top-15 at last weeks Tshwane Open Finally, Australias Nathan Holman is a talented young player who played on the Asian Tour previously and should be at an advantage with that experience in mind.Holman contended for the Dubai Desert Classic until a disappointing Sunday and having already won this season courtesy of the Australian PGA, hes overpriced.Watch the Maybank Championship Malaysia throughout the week live on Sky Sports 4 - your home of golf.

North Melbourne are yet to decide whether Jarrad Waite will be at the AFL club next year.The Kangaroos dropped a pre-finals bombshell on Wednesday, revealing Brent Harvey, Drew Petrie, Michael Firrito and Nick Dal Santo will not be offered contracts for 2017.Former Carlton forward Waite, who is currently sidelined with a hip injury, is also approaching the end of his career.Waite will be 34 years old when the 2017 season starts.The Kangaroos are expected to retain Waite but coach Brad Scott was tightlipped about the topic.The discussions are ongoing as to the rest of our list build, Scott said, when asked about Waite.Waite underwent hip surgery last month in an effort to be fully fit for finals.Scott confirmed he will not play against Greater Western Sydney on Saturday, when the Kangaroos regular season wraps up at Etihad Stadium.Waitey were training up and aiming tto get him cherry ripe for an assault at finals, Scott said.ddddddddddddBut he wont play this week.Scott also ruled out the prospect of injured trio Ben Jacobs, Scott Thompson and Sam Wright facing the Giants.Shaun Higgins and Luke McDonald could however both return on the weekend.Theyre the two most likely (Higgins and McDonald). It depends on how they train, Scott said.Meanwhile, Scott hoped Harvey, Petrie, Firrito and Dal Santo would stay involved with the club.All of the boys will play significant roles in the football clubs future ... if theyre really keen to be involved, Scott said.On field for mentoring and potentially coaching the players, and off field ambassadorial roles.But the legacy theyve left will be indelible and enduring.
