The PGA Tour heads to Congaree South Carolina with a loaded field . The Course plays 7655 yards with Bermuda Greens. This Tom Fazio design features a lot of sand off the fairways and it will be playing firm and fast . Handicapping the event The Hedgie will put an emphasis on Driving Accuracy & Distance combined with the best Bermuda grass putters. Rory McIlroy is the prohibitive favorite at 6-1 but the Hedgie's betting angles are to look for a winner with mid to long shot odds. One handicapping angle will be weather or not the Players returning from the ZOZO in Japan will be tired and affected with the new time zone.
So here we go :
Jordan Spieth 28-1 coming off a dominant 5-0-0 record at the Presidents Cup at Quail Hollow Hedgie thinks his success will carry forward much like Tom Kim's
Viktor Hovland 29-1 Hovland has really been playing well recently and has posted a couple TOP 5s in his past three starts
Sepp Straka 90-1 after a string of missed cuts he seems to have found something. last 5 starts 45th ; 2nd ; 27th ; 2nd ; 7th
Sepp TOP 20: +230 ( 2.3 to 1)
Rickie Fowler 90-1 Rickie is back ! He switched coaches to Butch Harmon and is finding immediate success with a steeper more reliable swing . Finished 2nd in ZOZO and has confidence back
Rickie TOP 20 : +175
Russell Henley 110-1 great price for a former Georgia bulldog who putts well on Bermuda. He finished 3rd in the 2020 CJ Cup at Shadow Creek ( another Fazio design)
