Alex Noren ov Brooks Koepka
This is basically a play against Brooks Koepka. 3 out of the last 4 tourneys he’s missed the cut…the other tournament he finished 42nd. He’s not right. Alex Noren is from the European Tour so PGA fans may not know a ton about him, but he’s finished 21st, and 13th the last 2 tourney’s on that tour, and shot -9, and -10 in those tournaments.
Bill Haas ov Emiliano Grillo
(Talked about Haas on the podcast...he's been great, and we love him a lot for Draftkings)...three top 20 finishes in 2017. Grillo cost me money last week, but Grillo wasn’t great. He was just a couple shots better than Ollie Shenanigans. Last 4 tournaments for Grillo he has a missed cut, 33rd, 63rd, 43rd.
Jon Rahm ov Justin Thomas
Since Hawaii, Justin Thomas has 2 missed cuts and a 39th. The Hammer has been great recently. last 3 tourneys all of them top 16, and 2 top 5’s in that span.
Sergio Garcia ov Justin Thomas
Since Hawaii, Justin Thomas has 2 missed cuts and a 39th. I hate betting on Sergio, both because he can be disappointing, but mostly because he refused to fist bump me at the tournament we were at when he walked right by us. Maybe that’s because I was drunk as sh*t, and slurring my words, but still…f*ck that guy. Sergio has 3 finishes inside the top 15 in 4 of his last tournaments.
Hideto Tanihara ov Fabrizio Zanotti
Tanihara has 6 straight tournaments he’s played in where he’s finished 27th or better, including 2 top 5’s in 3 of the last tourneys. Zanotti meanwhile has a weird recent form. He won last tourney he played in which was the Maybank Championship. Before that…3 Missed Cuts, and no rounds under par. I think the Maybank was an outlier.
Thomas Pieters ov Bubba Watson
Bubba has a missed cut and a withdraw in his last 2 tourneys, and he doesn’t pass the eye test right now. People are going to look at his history at this tourney, but they may not take into account this a different course. Bubba has 3 straight top 3 finishes here, but that doesn’t matter if you aren’t playing good this year. Pieters has been inconsistent, but he’s got 3 top 25 finishes, and 2 missed cuts in 2017 on the PGA and European Tours, so when he’s good, he’s really good.
Kaymer ov Reed
Reed has not been good recently. 68th, 23rd, 59th his last 3. Kaymer is massively undervalued, two top 5’s in the last 4 tourneys. He’s just really good.
