David Lingmerth ov Tony Finau
Lingmerth has been really good since the Zurich, and I feel has been flying under the radar. 26th at the Travelers, 21st at the US Open, 15th at the Memorial, 12th at the Dean Deluca, 18th at the Wells Fargo. Finau had a good showing last week, but he’s been shaky. Over par at the Memorial, Even par at the Dean Deluca, Missed cut at the Players…mixed in there is a 13th at the Byron Nelson…I love the consistency of Lingmerth, and the best part about this play is that Lingmerth is a big underdog. Plus Money.
Jason Kokrak ov Adam Hadwin
Hadwin has been struggling recently…we cashed a bet fading him last week, and I’m going to do it again this week. The last three tournaments both these guys have played in were the Travelers, the US Open, and the Memorial. Kokrak has finished ahead of Hadwin in all of those. Kokrak’s combined score in those tournaments is +1…Hadwins is +18. Two guys moving in the complete opposite direction. Kokrak was terrible the early part of the year, and is starting to come on…Hadwin was really good early, but is fading fast.
Ben Martin ov Bryson Dechambeau
I know Dechamblows won his matchup last week, but he finished 26th last week, and that was the outlier. Before that 8 straight made cuts. Martin coming off of 5 straight made cuts. I’ll take the golfer consistently making the cut when they’re playing on a course that nobody is used to.
Ryan Brehm ov Patton Kizzire
Kizzire has played in 12 tourneys this year, 7 missed cuts, only 1 finish inside the top 40. Ryan Brehm has only 1 missed cuts in 11 tourneys this year. Last two tournaments they played in together Brehm has finished ahead of Kizzire. Kizzire 2 missed cuts in the last 3 tournaments, 3 missed cuts out of the last 5…Brehm 4 straight made cuts.
Ricky Barnes ov Jonas Blixt
Looking up the stats, I was really surprised to see how good Barnes has actually been this year. Only 1 missed cut in the last 9 tournaments, 4 top 35 finishes in that span, and 3 of those top 35 finishes have been in the last 4 weeks. The last 3 tournaments they’ve played in together Barnes has finished ahead of Blix.
