There is over 400 feet of elevation that the players have to walk up and down in each round. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n The fairways are wide, but the rough is 4 inches thick so missing the fairway will cause big problems. There are some holes with a lot of bunkers surround the greens, but they don\u2019t look to be too deep or difficult for the cream of the crop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n The greens don\u2019t look too tough to figure out, and the Par 5\u2019s are gettable so I think this could be a birdie fest, and I\u2019m going to predict we see a -8 or lower round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n 2024 BMW Championship Field<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\nTop 10 Total Strokes Gained Last Three Months<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nXander Schauffele 3.24
Scottie Scheffler 3.22
Collin Morikawa 2.46
Hideki Matsuyama 2.20

Aaron Raid 1.78<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n 2024 BMW Championship: Players That Can Trip You Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\nHideki Matsuyama<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nLast week he was +5.7 strokes gained approach, and an insane +8.2 strokes gained putting. Going into last weeks tournament he was +0.57 strokes gained approach and -0.11 putting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Maybe he\u2019s hitting his stride late in the year, but last week was so out of the norm for him that I have to believe some kind of regression is coming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n He\u2019s priced as a Top 5 guy, if he plays out of his mind again, this will be a bad prediction, but if he plays like his usual numbers this year he\u2019ll be outside the Top 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Viktor Hovland<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nHovland had his best performance of the year, but like Hideki I don\u2019t think he keeps it up. Coming into the tournament his average total strokes gained was +0.91, and he was +0.22 putting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Last week, he was +3.3 putting and +10.7 total strokes gained. I don\u2019t think last week is sustainable for him, I think he struggles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Nick Dunlap<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nDunlap might be a sneaky pick for some as he finished 5th last week, and 1st a few weeks ago, but he also has 3 missed cuts in his last 5 tourneys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Last week, he made it into the Top 50 to advance to this week, but he talked about how nervous he was and how relieved he was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n It sounds like just making it to the Top 50 was the peak for him, and I see a letdown spot for him. He also hasn\u2019t put together 2 consecutive good tournaments all year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n He has 5 previous finishes of 11th or best, and he finished 80th or missed cut in all of those. I think he struggles this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n 2024 BMW Championship: DraftKings Darlings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\nMax Greyserman $6300<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nGreyserman has been a sneaky good value recently, and in a tourney with no cut we know we\u2019re getting 4 rounds out of him, and since July 1, he\u2019s 15th in the field in total strokes gained. That\u2019s better than Tony Finau, Corey Conners and Tommy Fleetwood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Austin Eckroat $6300<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nEckroat hasn\u2019t been great, but the last 2 weeks he finished 18th and 6th so I\u2019ll roll the dice that he can come up with another great performance. His finish last week was better than McIlroy, Morikawa, Aberg, Fleetwood, Conners, Im, Henley, and many more guys priced ahead of him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Eric Cole $6500<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nLast years Draftkings Darling of the year is catching fire to end the season after he struggled through most of it. He\u2019s last 7 finishes are 18th, 7th, 31st, 46th, 7th and 6th, and it\u2019s really been the improved putting as he\u2019s +0.70 strokes gained putting the last 2 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Rest Of Lineup: Taylor Pendrith $7300, Xander Schauffele $11,100, Scottie Scheffler $12,300<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n **************************************************<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nLooking for more free sports picks and sports betting tips?<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\nMake sure to bookmark all the above!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31050","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31050"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31050\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31051,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31050\/revisions\/31051"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28399"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31050"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31050"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31050"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}} |
