Picks to win
Colt: Sungjae Im/Keith Mitchell, +950
“I do like [Cantlay and Schauffele] to win, but I’m not going to bet them; way too tight of odds for me, so for my favorite, I’m going with a very interesting team.”
Drew: Sam Burns/Billy Horschel, +1300
“Burns is the local boy. He’s going to have a lot of love down there. Playing some really nice golf and coming in hot. Billy’s not as hot, but I feel like he isn’t far off. I wouldn’t say warm, but I’d say trending to warm perhaps, and sometimes a different format, something a little different change of pace just to break the monotony of the week can help, and he’s had some nice success in New Orleans.”
Darkhorses
Colt: Scott Stallings / Trey Mullinax, +4600
“Not really sure why, but just feels right. Down in New Orleans, they are both southern boys.”
Drew: Joel Dahmen/Denny McCarthy, +4600
“Joel Dahmen, incredible ball-striker, can run really hot and when the putter gets going he’s extremely dangerous. Denny, best putter on Tour, he’s going to take a lot of pressure off Joel if he hits one a few feet by.”
