The PGA's next stop is at Port Royal Bermuda. It's a beautiful site with a fairly weak field. Bettors may not be as interested but this is where the HEDGIE gets excited to make some money . The past three winners have been :
2021 - Lucas Herbert -15
2020 - Brian Gay -15
2019 - Brendan Todd -24
This week there are some storms out in the Atlantic that will bring thunderstorms and additional wind. SO the Hedgie will look for some good ball strikers that have had success in coastal tournaments . Hedgie loves Denny McCarthy who's probably the best player in this field . But with odds at 16-1 the Hedgie will not take too much exposure as he's the chalk. HOWEVER, it's important to shop lines . Hedgie did find McCarthy at 19.5 -1 and is making a play there . Here we go:
McCarthy 16-1 ( buy at lower odds , YES) 19-1
Detry 20-1 Pass
Power 22-1 Pass
Hubbard 22-1 Pass
Hardy 25-1 Pass
Rai 25-1 Pass (found 33-1 ! place 5th in recent Italian Open has 4 wins on the DP Tour. great ball striker
Meronk 25-1 Pass
Lower 28-1 Pass
Rodgers 28-1 Pass
______________________________________________________
All these players are solid and viable BUT the Hedgie thinks there are plenty of longer shots with just as good a chance to WIN :
Will Gordon 53-1 another Korn Ferry Grad who's been hot . Gordon finished T5 in 2 tourneys this august before winning the Boise Open
Kevin Yu 90-1 - graduated Korn ferry Tour has been playing well . Finished 7th in Puerto Rico Open and has made cut in all three PGA starts this fall
Scott Piercy 100-1 - old veteran who placed 14th in 2020 here, Wont get frazzled by the conditions
Brian Gay - 210-1 another old vet who's won this tourney in the past . Gay is 50 now but clearly a horse for the course. He WON in 2020 , finished 3rd in 2019 and 3rd in 2021.
TOP 10:
Denny McCarthy +210
Russel Knox +400
DFS Lineup :
McCarthy $10,400
Knox $9,200
Shelton $9,100
Piercy $7,300
Kevin Yu $7,300
Brian Gay $6,700
GOOD LUCK !
