John Deere Classic
Another week, another shitty result! Sunday collapses have killed me for a month now! And, of course, we have another shitty field! It’s because it’s only a couple of weeks away from Major #4 – The Open! I do like that tournament and I will make every effort to right the ship for myself – and you all – by then. This week is another birdie-fest on an easy course. Because of that, I usually go light and hope for the best.
Highlights: TPC Deere Run
- Par 71 – 7,289 yards
- Short rough
- Bentgrass greens, fairly large and easy to hit
- Three water hazards
NOTE: All pricing is based on DraftKings
$10,000 and Above (in my order of preference)
- Aaron Rai ($10,000)
- Jordan Spieth ($10,500) – not playing well but he always seems to play well here. Hasn’t been here since 2015 (when he was playing much better) but has won twice and finished T7 in the other attempt.
- Sungjae Im ($10,300)
- Sepp Straka ($10,400) – defending champ and playing very well. I just have a hard time wanting to pay $10K + for Sepp.
$9,000 to $9,900
- Davis Thompson ($9,600)
- Maverick McNealy ($9,800)
- Sam Stevens ($9,000)
- Jason Day ($9,400)
$8,000 to $8,900
- Mark Hubbard ($8,400) – making every cut he sees
- Luke Clanton ($8,600)
- Seamus Power ($8,300)
- Eric Cole ($8,500)
$7,000 to $7,900
- Patrick Rodgers ($7,800)
- Andrew Novak ($7,500)
- Lee Hodges ($7,500)
- Thorbjorn Olesen ($7,600) – giving him another shot
Under $7,000
- Matt Kuchar ($6,900)
- Max Greyserman ($6,900)
- Patton Kizzire ($6,900)
- Ben Kohles ($6,600)
Longshot(s)
- Neal Shipley ($7,500) – Why not? Newer guy + Easy course = Cinderella!
