Charley Hoffman ov Matt Kuchar
I stared at this matchup for a while, and I wanted to make sure I wasn’t betting against Kuchar just because he made me lose a bet last week to Dustin Johnson, but the numbers point to Hoffman, and Hoffman is the underdog. This will be Kuchar’s 5th tournament in a row…that’s a lot of golf, I gotta wonder if fatigue is going to set in. But besides that in the last couple tournaments Hoffman has finished ahead or tied with Kuchar. And Hoffman loves this tournament! He’s played here 12 years in a row, and has 10 finishes inside the top 13 including a win in 2016. Kuchar has only finished ahead of Hoffman at this tournament one time, and that was back in 2014.
Kevin Streelman ov Russell Knox
Streelman has finished ahead of Knox in the last 6 tournaments they’ve played in in 2018, and Streelman has never missed the cut at this tournament. Knox hasn’t played here in 2 years, the last time he did play here he missed the cut, and he hasn’t finished better than 26th here. Knox just has not been having a good year his only good finish was a 15th at the Pro Am, and a 16th at the Valspar. Nothing inside the top 40 in the last 3 weeks and only has one round under 70 in his last 11 rounds. Streelman no missed cuts in 2018, and only has one missed cut since May of 2017.
Stewart Cink ov Sean O’Hair
Stewart Cink is steady this year, he’s only missed the cut at two tournaments and that was the weird Farmers Insurance Open and the Pro-Am. Other than that he’s made the cut every time including 4 in a row. Sean O’Hair has been all over the board, but mostly bad. He did good at the Valspar and the Arnold Palmer, and other than that he’s got nothing inside the top 50. O’Hair has played here 3 times, missed the cut the last 2 times he played here, 58th the other time. Stewart Cink never missed the cut here including a 22nd last year.
Abraham Ancer ov John Huh
Abraham Ancer is the underdog here, but he’s the golfer with the most momentum right now in this matchup. In fact, Ancer finished 8th at the Houston Open, 13th at the Puntacana, and 16th at the Valspar. John Huh played in the Houston Open, and the Valspar, but Ancer finished ahead of him. Huh has played here 6 times, Ancer only once, but when they played together Ancer finished ahead of Huh. I think Ancer is on a roll, and has good value as the underdog here.
