re: PGA Rocket Mortgage Classic (Bryson DeChambeau Wins at -23)

Bryson is on a different planet

I pegged Bryson to win but that wasn't hard with how he has been playing. He over-powered that golf course this weekend despite having average wedge and iron play. I just couldn't bet him with his odds 6/1 to start the tournament. I managed to break even this week just a few nickels ahead with a Ryan Amour Top 10. Mark Hubbard was disappointing a Top 5 was there for the taking but he decided to spray it all over off the tee today and couldn't take advantage of the par 5s with his length. the DOCtor faded over the weekend too with a T21 finish. I'll start looking at Work Charity Open tournament this week. We have a little stronger field this week and two consecutive weeks at Muirfield, Golf Club and Village.

I like (1) Bryson DeChambeau to finally close one out but his odds this week are terrible for betting. With one year of stats for Detroit Golf Club, Webb Simpson and Hideki Matsuyama lead the stats that were important in victory last year Birdie or Better Scoring, Par 4 Scoring, Par 5 Scoring, Strokes Gained Tee To Green, and Strokes Gained Ball Striking. I looked a little further down the list and combined Course Form and Recent Form for my picks this week.

(T53)Tony Finau 30/1 to WIN
(MC)JT Poston 38/1 to WIN (11th last year, mc,8,10 last 3)
(T21)Doc Redman 43/1 to WIN (2nd last year, 11,21,58 last 3)
(T30)Brain Stuard 18/1 Top 5
(MC)Kyle Stanley 20/1 Top 5
(T12)Mark Hubbard 22/1 Top 5
(WD)Wyndham Clark 28/1 Top 5 13.5/1 Top 10
(T4)Ryan Armour 16/1 Top 10
Cameron Tringale 37/1 Top 5 18/1 Top 10
Dominic Bozzelli 21/1 Top 20

I will be watching (T30) Sam Burns this week just couldn't pull the trigger and probably will regret it. I had a few good weeks with Webb WIN at RBC and Steele Top 10 at Travelers trying to keep it going.
