Spieth of DJ
Matsuyama ov Stenson
Stenson has admitted that he hasn't been sharp this year (not that his results didn't show us that already), but it's been very interesting how he's struggled in US tournaments, but has been better in Europe. So I'll fade Stenson on US soil with Matsuyama, who has been hitting his stride recently, and it wouldn't surprise me if he picks up a win within the next two weeks.?
Rafa Cabrera Bello ov Justin Thomas
Justin Thomas has missed the cut the last three tournaments he's played in, and he's been pretty bad. Cabrera Bello has been very sharp recently. A win at the Scottish, a 4th at The British, and that makes 3 4th place finishes in 5 of his last PGA tours. Thomas his last three tournaments he's shot +5, +5, +7.?
Henley ov Buba
Still don't understand why Bubba is the big favorite in matchups. Bubba lost last week in the head to head again, yet Henley is +130 here.? Henley is 4-0 in the last 4 tournaments they've played in together, and Bubba has good course history here, but he has good course history at a lot of courses, and this year it doesn't really matter.
Xander Schaufele ov Molinari
I hate betting against my boyfriend, but he's been off his game recently. Missed cut, 24th, Missed cut, 38th. Xander, meanwhile, has been fantastic. 5th, 14th, 35th, 1st and 20th in his last 5 tournaments, and they haven't been fluff tourneys. I also like him this week because there's no cut, and I like the younger motivated golfer to want to play hard all weekend long. Not sure what Molinari's motivation will be if he's not up at the top after Friday.
Spieth ov Rory first round
Rory tends to struggle in first rounds, and after firing his caddie, it wouldn't surprise me if he struggles out of the gate here. Rory was really bad on the front 9 at the British, and I thought he got pretty lucky on the back 9 with some longer putts and chips falling. I like Spieth to start strong, and get near the top early.?
