Lots of narratives in play here, including:
- Brooksie vs. Brooks, I’m guessing Brooksie will disappoint while Brooks will morph back into regular event Brooks
- Bubba back at River Highlands, where he’s won 3 times, including his first win in 2010
- DJ back as the defending champion, as is the runner-up (and former champion) Kevin Streelman
- Decent field considering it’s the week after a major
Data Golf is on a lot of underdogs this week, and some of its best plays include:
- Brian Harman (he seems to be on this list every week. Due for a win?)
- Si Woo Kim
- Keegan Bradley (Is he “back”? He shows promise here and there but always fades near the end)
- Abraham Ancer (high finishes but seems to be allergic to winning. Pulls off a Jon Rahm every week with those backdoor Top 10’s and Top 5’s. But Rahm finally won so maybe Ancer can too)
Other golfers to watch:
- Scottie Scheffler (Another Ancer, tons of high finishes but just can’t win. You’d think #1 would come soon, but you never know)
- Rickie Fowler (Just needs to shoot a 61 after a magical range session then we get to argue forever whether he’s “back”)
- Garrick Higgo (So he doesn’t win every time, just every other time. He didn’t win last time so maybe he’s due)
- Matthew Wolff (Maybe he’s “back” too)
Hoping for another topsy-turvy week with lots of underdogs near the top of the leaderboard. Those seem to be the best weeks for bettors who use DataGolf!
