He was completely out of the tournament by the 6th hole on Thursday. Niemann is the new Kuchar with the Sunday 66s when out of the tournament.

I like Reed at 50/1. Kinda Brian Harmon-esk. Course is hard so distance advantages are minimized.

That was his 15th hole of the day & he finished the hole the next morning bc play was suspended. Discredit his 65 in the 2nd round if you want

71 out of 72 holes he played well enough to win that tournament

Aberg at +3000 is decent

He’s going to break thru eventually


Good bet if it's just to finish top 15. Maybe now that the hype is dying down he'll win one but he's always been overpriced.

Scottie probably wondering what he did to deserve getting paired with Hatton and Bryson for the first two days

Hoping Gotterup to continue to build as a great young American player. But have not seen how/if this course fits. Any opinions?


Not much data early on but he seems to like these type courses. A year ago he won the Sottish Open which qualified him to the Open. Thats as close as you come to qualifying for an event and I imagine making Open was not on his mind headed to Scottish Open.

He finished 3rd a year ago but wasn’t nearly prepared to play in it like others. He’s playing good golf lately so might be a contender.

A year ago he went 72/65/68/67. If not for short notice and likely first day jitters 72, he might have won the thing.

But you never know in golf.

Gonna have Hatton cussing the world while still shooting 65 and Bryson pitching bitch fits when he hits it 400 yards into pot bunkers all day and has to go in there with those long arse wedges.

It’s going to be hilarious.

My nephew who is a golfer says this course favors the best ball strikers. Who are those in today's game and who would everyone consider the best ball strikers of all time?

This doesn’t make sense. The big hitters will still be 2-3 clubs in front. The advantage is still there

Yeah I might throw $10 on a few guys. Fleetwood has to come through at some point as well.

Keep in mind this will be gotterup’s 7th event in 7 weeks I believe. That’s a lot of wear and tear between traveling, practice rounds, 72 holes, etc.

Trevino? I heard his name mentioned a good bit when it comes to best ball strikers.

Scheffler and Morikawa are the best iron players on tour. Fitzpatrick currently leads the PGA this season. .
