FORM: 13/23/3/28
Tournament Results: DEBUT
Comp Results: 6/7/9/9/18/37/MC/MC/WD
Insights: Rightfully a co-favorite at the top of the odds board, Mav enters ranked 19th in the OWGR and coming off a solid T13 in his first start since the Ryder Cup snub at Bethpage. The West Coast native should thrive in Utah and also loves shorter layouts (2nd in the field), Bentgrass greens (7th), and desert-style tracks (7th). His lone PGA Tour win came during last year’s Fall Swing at the RSM, so there’s no concern about peaking this time of year. No issue betting top of the board this week with hopeful results as Xander’s Japan win at 10/1.

FORM: 3/29/13/38
Tournament Results: WD (Round 1 67)
Comp Results: 61/74/MC
Insights: Young Thor returns to Utah after last year’s shortened appearance, where he gained +2.04 strokes on approach in Round 1 before withdrawing. While off-the-tee struggles hurt him then, the driver hasn’t been an issue in 2025—the real weakness remains around the greens, where he’s gained in only 5 of 19 starts. Fortunately, the large putting surfaces this week should help minimize that flaw. Still searching for his first win, Young Thor faces the added pressure of needing to go low in what’s likely to be a birdie fest. The talent is there, and he’s capable of breaking through, but the clubhouse would need odds in the mid-20s to invest. Champ’s first hat tip of the week—just as X was last week—and you know how that one went…

Alex Noren
Odds: +1750
Stats: N/A
Rank: N/A
*SG Gains: OTT 2/3, APP 3/3, ARD 1/3, PUTT 2/3
*No SG for BayCurrent Classic
FORM: 27/1/MC/1
Tournament Results: DEBUT
Comp Results: 2/6/9/14/21/25/44/53/MC/MC
Insights: With two impressive wins on the DP World Tour in his last four starts, Noren has a strong case to be this week’s betting favorite. The only caveat, of course, still looking for that first PGA Tour win. Long term, clubhouse envisions Alex with a potential “Ryan Fox 2025 profile”—poised to carry international momentum into multiple PGA Tour victories in 2026. Noren fired 69-65 to sit just four shots back heading into the weekend last week before cooling off with 73-70. Ranked 9th in this field on shorter courses and 9th on Bentgrass greens, plus a runner-up finish at altitude in Reno-Tahoe ticks boxes this week even on DEBUT. Slight discount over the other two names at the top of the market and clubhouse recommendation is take it.
