This Week – forty seventh Memorial Match
The ultimate of three “common” season occasions with elevated standing so no time to dilly or dally when looking for out who’s going to take house $2.16 million.
The Jon Rahm One Man Shootout has a subject of 120 however just one man has figured it out right here within the two years. They tried to make it as laborious as attainable in 2020 and he gained simply. They redesigned nearly all the things for the 2021 version and he was main by SIX after 54 holes.
It’s not laborious you probably have him accessible.
Loads of room to swing it this week however with 13 creeks in play and 4 inches of gnarl awaiting outdoors the golf green, good luck.
Scoring final 12 months was regular although the placing surfaces have been agency and never as quick as normal. After one other 12 months of development and care, I’d anticipate The Golden Bear to show up the warmth.
Scrambling right here is nothing wanting tough due to the tough and carefully mown areas. Tiered greens forces correct misses and something above the opening is normally useless.
The excellent news is 4 Par-5 holes can erase a number of the knack picked up all through the spherical. The OTHER information is that the Par-4 holes are very stout.
Seize a well-known milkshake and dangle on with each fingers!
THE CHOICE: Collin Morikawa
Time to interrupt him out of his funk! Nicklaus tracks don’t appear to trouble him a lot, do they?
Montreux? Win.
Concession? Win.
Workday at Muirfield Village? Win.
Memorial final 12 months? Misplaced in a playoff.
So he must be nothing wanting snug.
I’d need to lookup the final time he went 4 occasions and not using a high 10.
It’s becoming his final large end (T5) was on the Masters.
Hit each fairway and inexperienced, my man!
Heat Blankets: The blokes who ought to. Protected alternatives that can assist preserve leads. Opinions on why or why not for this occasion or save for later.
Jon Rahm (+1000): I’m unsure anybody may speak me out of this. His final seven rounds right here have crushed everybody by like 409580480309830 pictures. He’s 238-0 heads up in that point. Tremendous contrarian play is to fade him this week as a result of these numbers are unbelievable. I’m unsure I can pull that set off. Glad I don’t have to fret in OAD as a result of A.) I suck and B.) I’ve used him.
Rory McIlroy (+1200): If that is the Augusta of the North, effectively, it’s not stunning he hasn’t gained right here both. Two of his worst three begins listed here are his final two. Type is improbable with three straight within the high 10 together with Masters and PGA Championship.
Patrick Cantlay (+1600): In his final 12 occasions on TOUR he’s racked out seven high 10 finishes. In his final six occasions on TOUR he has precisely one, at one other course he loves, Harbour City. With two wins in his final three right here I can’t let you know this can be a unhealthy thought. With three high fours in his final 4 I nonetheless can’t get off of him.
Jordan Spieth (+2000): This will probably be his tenth consecutive begin right here. No want to fret in regards to the scheduling. Golfers golf, of us. Simply two high 10s from his earlier 9 however six high 25s together with the final three. I’ll be shocked if many/any have a begin on him left.
Xander Schauffele (+2000): Not a lot worth for a man who’s by no means pocketed a high 10 in 4 begins. Sure, all three are high 15s however nonetheless.
Cameron Smith (+2000): Each week it appears we run into conflicting forces. This week the Aussie rolls in ranked No. 3 on the planet with a podium on the Masters and T13 PGA Championship his latest bests. Now, prepare for his observe report right here: No rounds within the 60s in six tries and precisely one spherical beneath par.

Matthew Fitzpatrick (+2200): OK, I give up. 10 begins, eight paydays all T18 or higher. Proper in till the ultimate holes at Southern Hills and T2 beforehand at TPC Potomac, neither straightforward tracks.
Shane Lowry (+2500): In the event you’re not saving him for The Open, then please, hearth away. Stick him in for a high 20 and neglect about sweating. T35 or higher in his final 11 worldwide.
Spicy: This could be every week for sending out an “unknown” and saving a begin. You simply would possibly get fortunate. Or MC.
Hideki Matsuyama (+2800): Nonetheless a bit stung by the no present in Tulsa so my emotions are harm. Just one high 10 in his final six right here doesn’t have me operating to the window this week.
Will Zalatoris (+3300): Attention-grabbing to see if he’s bothered, drained or prepared for the problem this week. Two MC in TOUR occasions in Texas however two high 5s within the final two majors.
Cameron Younger (+3300): I imply…he’s tenth SG: Whole and rolls in T3-T2-T3. What’s to not like? Perhaps 77-77 at ANGC?
Mito Pereira (+4500): I don’t bear in mind his quantity final week however that might have been a pleasant payday on T7. Only a improbable restoration from what may have been a profession defining WRONG WAY after Southern Hills. Bravo.
Patrick Reed (+5500): Scrambles extra eggs than the dude working the omelette station on Sunday brunch. He’ll be glad if it’s on hearth once more identical to he was for T10 and T5 in his final two right here.
Davis Riley (+6000): He’s performed himself out of the 125-1 days, hasn’t he?
Aaron Clever (+7000): Hate the quantity, just like the participant.
Chris Kirk (+7000): Backed up his T5 at Southern Hills with T15 at Colonial. Sat two again coming into Sunday earlier than limping in.
Jason Day (+7500): Sponsor’s exemption has one high 10 in his profession right here. Cautious.
3 AM on the Blackjack Desk: Warning is thrown to the wind. Perhaps not the very best for this format however what the hell, proper? May throw these in in case you’re in want of a miracle.
Bryson DeChambeau (+10000): Absolutely a greenback simply to fulfill any curiosity.

Sam Burns got here from seven pictures off the result in get right into a playoff and defeat Scottie Scheffler.
My man fired 68 on Sunday to again door a high 25.
You’ll be able to’t predict baseball, Suzyn.
THE CHOICE: Max Homa – T23
I’ll be dissatisfied when he wins this week at Jack’s place however disappointment is what I do on this format. Very stable 2-under to enter the weekend and with robust situations, much like these at TPC Potomac, I assumed I used to be sitting fairly. His 73 on Saturday knocked him a dozen pictures off the lead and it was injury management from there. Good 68 on Sunday reveals me the place he’s mentally, an excellent place.
Fairways will probably be a bit simpler to hit this week and he ought to issue once more.
Heat Blankets: The blokes who ought to. Protected alternatives that can assist preserve leads. Opinions on why or why not for this occasion or save for later.
Jordan Spieth (+1200): Hindsight is at all times 20-20 however in case you would have advised me he was MC-T34 within the first two majors of the season…effectively…These of you who’ve patiently waited have had the course horse drop in your lap. Congratulations prematurely. T7 after enjoying 4 rounds at par or higher. Not the payday you needed but it surely’s a high 10 at a “assured” high 10 observe for him.
Justin Thomas (+1200): We at all times wrestle to seek out the blokes who we bear in mind who gained the week BEFORE a serious. How in regards to the guys who win the week after??? I’m not wanting it up. It’s noble that JT continues to be within the subject and is holding his dedication (as of this writing) however there’s no approach he offers any cares this week. Benefit from the media consideration and the free roll however he’s not getting any of my cash. MC and no person must be shocked one bit.
Scottie Scheffler (+1200): OK, bought it, I’m not on him, regular service ought to resume except he actually doesn’t like Perry Maxwell designs. Keep in mind, not many Texans have gained this occasion just lately however he’s not having a season like many Texans. Needs to be recent, recharged and into the shadows of JT mania, simply how he likes it. Misplaced in a playoff.
Collin Morikawa (+1600): Nothing flawed with T14-P2 in his first two makes an attempt right here. May save him for Memorial in case you haven’t burned him already.T40 as he struggled with fairways and greens. Oh, seems to be like I’ll be taking my very own recommendation!
Viktor Hovland (+2000): Properly, we’re ready! T23 right here on debut with every spherical higher than the earlier suggests he’s a fast learner. Time to placed on that ball-striking clinic that we’re used to large boy! Sat three off the lead on the minimize however performed the weekend 4 over to float to T21.
Will Zalatoris (+2500): Unsure I’m diving on this week after final week. These are human beings, not stats within the ether. His 5 high 10s in majors have been backed up ONCE, T8 at Corales Punta Cana, which isn’t precisely a subject or observe like this. No points together with his sport, simply the timing. Reserve it. Nailed him as effectively, MC.
Sam Burns (+2800): If expertise is the principle angle this week, I’ll move as he’s solely seeing the place for the third time. If expertise is the angle this week, I’ll take a flyer as a result of that’s NOT the difficulty. His outcomes this season mirror a shortly swinging pendulum motion between nice and what simply occurred. I’m passing. You do you. Posted 65 on Sunday and waited for the sector to return again. They did. He gained from seven behind. Supreme expertise. I didn’t nail him. WIN.
Spicy: This could be every week for sending out an “unknown” and saving a begin. You simply would possibly get fortunate. Or MC.
Sungjae Im (+3300): Weirdo is definitely taking weeks off and stuff. Final week he was caught within the Far East with COVID. This week he returns to MC-T10-MC. Each of these MC are the Might editions. Go. T15 with 4 rounds of par or higher.
Talor Gooch (+3500): Seamless transition. One other high 20 wouldn’t be out of the query. T27 and off to LIV. Didn’t see that coming, did you? Me neither.
Abraham Ancer (+4000): T14-T14 his final two visits and a very good week final week at Southern Hills. Appears to be like like he’s turned the nook and Southern Hills doesn’t let anybody cruise. MC by a shot.
Jason Kokrak (+4500): Defending is rarely straightforward except you’re KH Lee or Sam Burns. Oh, wait… 67th of 69.
Davis Riley (+4500): One other main examination this week however his run of kind suggests he couldn’t care much less. Attention-grabbing to see how he tackles this. Simply T4 for his fourth high 10 in 5 begins and fifth from eight. Majors? Outdated tracks? New tracks? Huge fields? HE LAUGHS.
Kevin Na (+4500): Saturated market right here of former winners and 30-somethings! Final to put up 61 and has many different low ones. One other high 10 payday right here with T7.
Brian Harman (+5000): All of the items, by no means MC in his final eight and all T31 or higher. The optimist will level out he shot 66 in Spherical 2. The gamblers will level out that he free wheeled it after 77 to open. MC and that streak is over.
Justin Rose (+5500): Took a really lengthy have a look at him. May re-inspect earlier than they tee off. Glad I forgot to learn this earlier than they teed off…MC.
3 AM on the Blackjack Desk: Warning is thrown to the wind. Perhaps not the very best for this format however what the hell, proper? May throw these in in case you’re in want of a miracle.
