Truist Championship Top Asian

8:00am EDT - May 8/2025

THE PLAY: Si Woo Kim Top Asian (+320)

With Quail Hallow hosting the PGA Championship next week, the Tour heads to the The Philadelphia Cricket Club for a signature event. This course is relatively short but has doglegs protected by bunkers right where most of these players want to land their tee shots if they do not have the carry distance. This course will expose player’s approach game and SW Kim has been much better with his approach numbers but even more so with a wedge in his hand. That is the grouping of distance that most of the approaches will come from, and he is much better than this group within those yardages. Kim will need to reign in his putter on these fast greens, but none of this group exceeds on the greens either. I believe that this number offers good value on a course that leans to SW Kim’s 2025 numbers.

Consultant Bio

Working at a country club a mile east of Del Mar Racetrack, Sean was introduced to horse racing and his passion for the sport took off. The puzzle of going through past performances and replays appealed to Sean and spent his time after work listening to respected handicappers to learn as much as he could. In his first season playing the NHC Tour, he qualified for the Championship by placing 2nd in the LRF Cares contest after turning his initial $250 bankroll into $3,640.40. In this year's Xpressbet Kentucky Derby contest, Sean finished 6th by flipping the $2,000 bankroll into $15,681.85 while also taking home a 2024 Pegasus World Cup Betting Challenge entry valued at $6,000.
