This is a tournament where you have to go very low to have even a sniff of winning. It's pretty much brute-force golf.

Don't bet Scottie Scheffler. The odds are horrible.

Wyndham Clark seems like an interesting pick this week because of the capability to kind of hit it anywhere on this course and still score.

Stephan Jaeger interests me for the same reason, given that he showed up, for at least a little while, at the PGA last week.

I'm gonna keep firing on Blades Brown, especially in a weak event like this and having played most of his golf this year on the Korn Ferry Tour, where going low is typically a must.
