Picks to win
Colt: Cam Smith, +2200
“Won his last start on the LIV tour. With the short game, if it’s firm and bouncy over there, he’s as good as anybody. It just sets up really well for him.”
Drew: Cam Smith, +2200
“He’s got two wins on LIV this year… coming off back-to-back top-10s at major championships. Probably for my money, the best short game in the field when you combine around the greens and with the putter. He’s nasty”
Dark horses
Colt: Min Woo Lee, +6500
“It’s time for him to breakout.”
Drew: Tom Kim, +5500
“He came on the golf scene hot. Kind of took over the game, he was ‘the kid’ for a while. Just turned 21, so he’s growing up now, he’s gotta hit that prime and he’s got it while he can because he’s growing up in age… Sixth this past week at the Scottish with a final-round 73, it was brutal out there that day. He top-10’d for the first time ever at a major championship out in L.A.”
