Nick Borrman<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nI said it before, at odds this high, JT is a must-play. He missed the cut in his last start at the Genesis Invitational, but that snapped a streak of seven straight Top-12 finishes including five Top-6s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
His iron play and his short game have been phenomenal which the latter is likely to be a big factor this week as the greens here are difficult to hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The negative for JT is that this is an event his usually doesn\u2019t tee it up at, but given its Signature status, of course he is in the field. He has played here just twice before though he did have a solid finish at T21 last year, which was in the middle of one of his worst years on Tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Ludvig Aberg, Tommy Fleetwood and Cameron Young are all listed at shorter odds than JT this week and with the three of them having a combined one PGA Tour win under their belt, it simply is a head shaker to get JT, a 15-time Tour winner, at a longer number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Arnold Palmer Invitational Top-20 Finish: Adam Scott +165 (DraftKings or PointsBet)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Ho hum. Adam Scott has quietly produced seven straight Top-20 finishes worldwide including each of this three PGA Tour starts this season. He finished T20 at Pebble, T8 at the WM Phoenix Open and T19 in his last start at the Genesis Invitational.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Scott\u2019s ball-striking has been fantastic as he has gained strokes off the tee in 16 of his last 17 measured starts, as well as gaining an average of +1.12 strokes on approach over his last five starts. Throw in that Scott\u2019s sweeping putter stroke is always on point and that is a nice recipe for success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Scott has a spotty record at this event having played here 11 times over the last 20 years with only three Top-20 finishes. But with this event being Signature status with a field of only 69, his odds are much better to have to beat just two-thirds of the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Puerto Rico Open Outright Winner: Ben Silverman +5500 PointsBet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Remember, for those that didn\u2019t qualify for the API, there is an alternate field event at the Puerto Rico Open where you can take some longshot chances on guys like Ben Silverman who was a winner on the Korn Ferry Tour last season and is coming off back-to-back Top-20 finishes on the PGA Tour at the Mexico Open and Cognizant Classic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Like we previewed a couple weeks ago with Jake Knapp, you are looking for potential in these types of fields as you aren\u2019t going to find a ton of guys with great current form results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
See you next week for the PLAYERS Championship!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
