FAVORITE
The course is so dry and hard that many players will not use a driver. This fits right into Tiger Woods +2020 game. He struggles with the driver – but guess what – he won’t have to hit it. He’s been on the verge and lurking on the leaderboard in multiple starts this year. Maybe this week he shocks the world and picks up major No. 15. Never count him out. Sorry Coolsy.
VALUE
Paul Casey +3250 is 40 years old and running out of time to earn his first major. The Englishman has the game and always seems to be in contention in big events, but always comes up short. He’s now ranked No. 12 in the world and it’s time to show it. He was T27 at Carnoustie in 2007 and has since added T7 at Royal Birkdale in 2008, T3 at St. Andrews in 2010 and T11 at Birkdale again last year. He’s in good form. He finished runner-up at the Travelers in his last start. He’s consistent too – he finished T15 (Masters) and T16 (U.S. Open) in this years two majors.
FADE
Don’t waste your time on Phil Mickelson +4599 this week. He’s got all kinds of things going on in his head right now – rules violations, missed cuts and who knows what else. His game is not very good right now – he says all the right things – but the bottom line is that he’s not in good form. Stay Away!
