Welcome to our weekly PGA Tour gambling-tips column, featuring picks from mtwarrenparkgolf.com.au's expert prognosticator, Brady Kannon. Scottie Scheffler (+).
Part of the reason for the variance is the Pete Dye design at Austin CC, which doesn't strongly fit one style of play. The par, 7, yard layout only includes four par-4s over yards and plays much more as a second shot golf course. With water in play on nearly half the holes, there is a premium on accuracy over distance off the tee.
The following five golfers, with a minimum of two appearances, have the best results at Austin CC. Ties are calculated as half a win. As good as Scheffler has been, his draw did him no favors, as Noren also has a great record here and Tom Kim -- despite making his first appearance -- won't be an easy out. Scheffler should get out of this group, but I can't advise taking him at Rahm is the obvious choice due to his dominant play earlier in the season, but he's working back from an illness that forced him to withdraw from THE PLAYERS and sprayed the ball off the tee in his previous two starts.
That leads me to Fowler, who has played really well this season and is a nice value. McCarthy will make his match play debut and looks to be a good fit for this course. His only weakness is a lack of distance with the driver, which shouldn't hold him back much here.
McIlroy hasn't shown enough success here to wager on him at Cantlay gets a favorable group. Lee and Nick Taylor will be making their match play debuts, and the second seed in the group -- Brian Harman -- has struggled mightily this year, with four missed cuts over his last six starts and a best finish of T42 during that stretch.
Kisner may be a trendy pick to advance given his track record, but his form has taken too sharp of a drop for me to feel comfortable picking him. I'll turn to Homa, who has emerged into a top player and should be confident in this format after playing well in the Presidents Cup. I'm going to go with the top seed in this group, mainly because it's hard to imagine any of the others getting the job done.
Tom Hoge and Aaron Wise both having losing records at this event and Cam Davis will be making his debut. Schauffele's strong all-around game fits the course well. Day prevailed 1 up with a clutch putt on the 18th green in a sensational battle. The Aussie would then destroy Louis Oosthuizen in the final.
A rematch would be mouth-watering. Potential match you'd most like to see: The final above is on the list, as is a quarterfinal of Day vs. Dell golf tournament best bets Oh baby, bring it on. Pick at start of week: Will Zalatoris. Well, Zalatoris lost his first two matches and withdrew Friday morning with an illness. Back to the drawing board. Your new pick for winner: Rory McIlroy. This could be the start of a magical run to Augusta.
Dream final: McIlroy vs. Hard not to root for this matchup. A battle of two top-3 players in the world with Scheffler trying to defend his title. Sign me up. Potential match you'd most like to see: A Scheffler-Jason Day matchup in the quarterfinals would be a treat. As would Scheffler meeting Max Homa in the semifinals.
No path to this title is ever easy and watching Scheffler navigate it would be some great theater. Associate Editor. Pick at start of week: Keith Mitchell. The year-old entered the week with two top-five finishes in his last five starts, and his blend of power and recently-improved finesse looked to be well suited for the match-play format where birdies are ever-valuable.
Gave it a run. Carrying it yards en route to a conceded eagle. A game of which I am unfamiliar. Expect to see plenty of birdies from McIlroy this weekend and a fearless brand of golf. Looks to be a good formula for the Northern Irishman to make a run through the bracket. Dream final: J. Poston vs. Poston has embraced a chip on his shoulder for the majority of his pro golf career, and despite two wins on TOUR — including 72 bogey-free holes at the Wyndham Championship — he still flies under the radar at times.
This weekend could change that, as the smooth-putting North Carolina native went in group play to breeze into the Round of Potential match you'd most like to see: Max Homa-Mackenzie Hughes. Both players graduated from the Korn Ferry Tour and have taken varied paths to meet again in Austin — Hughes won in his fifth TOUR start as a member that fall, while Homa lost his card in and regained it through the Korn Ferry Tour Finals before rising to superstardom.
Sean Martin. Every golf tournament is unpredictable, but the matchplay takes it to a whole new level. And should Hoge get through the group, his section of the draw could really open up, especially if Matthew Fitzpatrick goes down in the group stage. Hoge missed the cut at the Arnold Palmer Invitational last month, but his two starts on either side of that event saw him finish T14 and T3.
With a soft path to the final four and his game in good form, Hoge ticks every box you want for a long shot in this event. Similar to Hoge, this is about targeting a golfer that has a pretty manageable path to the latter stages of the tournament.
