Tournament Match-ups: Joaquin Niemann (+100) over Will Zalatoris (William Hill)
Tournament match-ups 18-8 in 2021. Cooled off in recent tournaments. Kevin Streelman missed the cut by 1-shot last week after going bogey, double, par, par to finish Friday, and a pair of bogeys to finish Thursday. Abraham Ancer was a win, top finish and golf pool pick, and he finished solo 4th after making the cut on the number and three best rounds combined Friday through Sunday. Harris English prevailed in an 8-hole sudden death playoff over Kramer Hickok at the Travelers. Golf is a game of inches and close calls, and Hickok found that out in the playoff in pursuit of his first PGA Tour win. We’ll continue to shoot for fairways and greens and fire for the flags.
Next week it’s the John Deere Classic in Illinois, followed by The Open Championship at Royal St. George’s in England. Just 11 PGA TOUR tournaments remain this season and 8 until the FedExCup Playoffs.
