5-0; +1.32pts Pre-tournament plays: LAY 20pts liability Padraig Harrington 210 25th
Andrew Loupe 150 mc
Bryon DeChambeau 29 mc
Aaron Baddeley 80 29th
Ernie Els 170 mc
Harrington has played in eight events in the last three months, missing the cut three times and without a top-20 finish, so I don't see him as a potential contender this week
Loupe was the first round leader here two years ago, but then shot 70-70-75 to finish 4th; given his form since February a repeat of his 2015 performance here (mc) looks far more likely
DeChambeau has made a lot of headlines in the last two weeks and he is clearly a player in form, but also one who has struggled when near the top of the leaderboard - as such, he can be opposed at this price to win
Baddeley earned his third top-10 finish of the year at Harbour Town last week, but it remains five seasons since he finished in the top-3 in any event so he should be priced at triple-digit odds
Els is another player who has been a long time away from the top of a PGA Tour leaderboard - his last top-3 finish in this country was four years ago - so that makes him an easy player to oppose regardless of his very public putting issues |
