Golf picks this week

Charles Howell ov Byeung Hun An

Charles Howell looks like he is back from his injury, as he’s gotten immensely better the last 3 tournaments.  59th 4 weeks ago, then 19th, then 15th.  Solid tournament history here with a 7th last year, 17th before that, 6 total top 20 finishes at this tournament.  Byeung Hun aAn has been ok recently, but he’s never played here, and one reason I think we’re getting this matchup is that Hun An finished better in the last couple tourneys he and Howell have played in together, but that doesn’t take into account Howell coming back and improving.  Hun An has never played at this tournament, so I like Howell’s experience here.

Jason Kokrak ov Anirban Lahiri

Lahiri had a couple of nice tournaments in a row where he finished 9th, 10th, and 5th.  Last week he came back to earth finishing in 51st.  And that pretty much sums up Anirban Lahiri.  Couple of good finishes, and then he goes back to bad finishes.  In 2017 he had 8 top 20 finishes, but 12 finishes outside the top 50.  His really good finishes were all over the board, no consistency, and he tends to have way more runs of bad finishes than good finishes.  I’m betting he’s getting ready to go on a bad run.  Kokrak on the other hand has been fairly consistent, 3 straight top 20 finishes in 2018, and he finished the 2017 season with 4 made cuts at the big boy tournaments, and what I love about Kokrak this week is that he’s played here 3 times, and has finished 17th, 16th, and 15th, so I have a pretty good idea of what I’m getting this week in Kokrak.

Eddie Pepperell ov Thorbjorn Olesen

Pepperell has 6 top 10 finishes in his last 7 tournaments!!!  Dude is on fire, how did we lose money on him last week?!?  Olsen has 1 top 10 finish in the last 3 months, of course it was last week when we bet against him…Olesen has played here once, that was last year where he finished 63rd.  I’m betting more on Pepperell this week than I did last week…Last week was the exception, not the rule…we make our money back and then some this week.
