Picks: Jon Rahm (+400 to Win) This may be my favorite play of the entire season. Rahm is exactly where I wanted him to be going into the playoff finale, starting off at -6, four strokes behind leader Patrick Cantlay, which allows us to bet him to win at a reasonable price. I like thisContinue reading “TOUR Championship Preview”

BMW CHAMPIONSHIP (CactusKub)
August 26-29 Rory McIlroy At a course that will reward guys who can hit it long – watch out for Rory. Last week was an outlier in terms of SG Approach, mostly attributed to one bad round. On his preferred surface and won at a course similar to this earlier this season. A matter ofContinue reading “BMW CHAMPIONSHIP (CactusKub)”
BMW Championship Preview
This week the TOUR heads to Maryland at Cave’s Valley Golf Club for the BMW Championship. It is a 69-man field with no cut, and penultimate event of the season. This is the first tour event held here, and outside of a handful of players who played here as amateurs, this will be a foreignContinue reading “BMW Championship Preview”
THE NORTHERN TRUST (CactusKub)
August 19 – 22 Liberty National Golf Course Justin Thomas 25-1 I like this guy for a few reasons this week. Anytime Justin Thomas is 25-1, he pretty much needs to be an auto play. He’s gained on approach in four straight and three out of four off the tee. He has been able toContinue reading “THE NORTHERN TRUST (CactusKub)”
Northern Trust Open Preview
It’s playoff time! This week, the TOUR heads to New Jersey at Liberty National Golf Club. Built in 2006 and located just 1,000 yards from the Statue of Liberty, it has been the host to the Northern Trust Open three times (2009, 2013, and 2019) as well as the 2017 President’s Cup. Distance off theContinue reading “Northern Trust Open Preview”
Wyndham Recap
It was a frustrating week from start to finish, but an outright disaster was avoided thanks to Kevin Na. A strategy evaluation in these lesser tournaments is needed, and I apologize to those who tailed. The logic was there, the performances were not. Jason Kokrak Hit two balls out of bounds on the Par 5Continue reading “Wyndham Recap”
Wyndham Championship Preview
This week the TOUR heads to Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, NC for the regular season finale. This is the last chance for players outside the Top 125 in the FedEx Cup standings to make the playoffs, and an opportunity for those safely inside to bolster their position. The field includes 37 of the TopContinue reading “Wyndham Championship Preview”
WYNDHAM CHAMPIONSHIP (CactusKub)
AUGUST 12-15 Across the Board Russell Henley to win +3000, 5 +550, 10 +315, 20 +150 First in the field in shots gained on approach, fifth in strokes gained total. Preferred putting surface is Bermuda. Before MC at the Open, three straight top 20s. Well rested, from the Carolinas, great course fit – should contend. Continue reading “WYNDHAM CHAMPIONSHIP (CactusKub)”
WGC Invitational Recap
Brooks Koepka The biggest worry with Brooks is that, unlike Xander Schauffele, sometimes he just doesn’t care. And that was quite applicable this week. He never contended but still found himself only two shots outside the Top 20 going into Sunday. Unfortunately, he missed a 5-foot birdie putt on the first hole, mentally checked out,Continue reading “WGC Invitational Recap”
WGC FedEx – St. Jude (CactusKub)
August 5 -8 TPC Southwind Patrick Cantlay 25-1, Top 10 +215, Top 20 -125 Isn’t getting talked about enough this week. Best in field at courses with small greens. 4th on tour in strokes gained tee to green, 2nd in scrambling. Should be well rested and prepared. Course fits his strengths well. Daniel Berger 20-1,Continue reading “WGC FedEx – St. Jude (CactusKub)”
