Insights: Rory might be the betting favorite at the RBC Canadian Open, but let’s be real…that number is riding off reputation, not reality. Yes, he’s dominated this event in the past, but that was on completely different tracks with actual course history to lean on. This week? Clean slate, brand new venue, and Rory’s iron game is in shambles — losing nearly two strokes on Approach in back-to-back solo starts, including at Quail Hollow, where he’s basically the unofficial mayor. Since winning the Masters, Rory’s been sleepwalking through his swing, and while he has the talent to flip a switch, recent Sundays have shown he just doesn’t have that cold-blooded closer gene like Scottie. He nearly coughed up Augusta multiple times. Betting Rory at a near-Scottie price with a major looming? That’s a sucker’s play.

Insights: What a confusing and weird season for big Swede. He has as many WDs and MCs as Top 20s, and most facets of his game have let him down outside of his Driver. Sammy was on him last week outright and FRL and at Quail as a FRL, but maybe he was a bit too early on Aberg — who showed signs of life in the final round of the Memorial. He gained nearly 6 strokes T2G on Sunday at Muirfield, highlighted by a spike round on APP and ARD. However, the price this week is difficult to digest. Aberg was 25+ at Jack’s Place and his FRL price at Quail was 30+. At less than 20/1, I want to see more consistency in Aberg’s all-around game before paying a price like this.

Insights: Big Maple returns to his homeland this week after being on both Champ and Sammy’s cards last week in different fashion. Unfortunately for TBCH crew and patrons, CC couldn’t get out of his own way at the Memorial. It felt like he had a bogey or a double for every birdie or good par save he made all week long, but especially on the weekend when he lost almost 5 strokes on APP in Rounds 3 and 4 combined. Every time he started to make a run, he ripped off a couple bogeys or worse and plummeted down the leaderboard. Another guy that we like and have been tracking for some time, it was surprising to see him struggle so much which his irons considering he had gained with them in 8 straight events. While his price isn’t the most exciting this week, CC is one of the names you could consider at this course, so long that you can get at least 20/1. Fire up in DFS/OAD, as you may get depressed ownership coming off a bad week, on top of the fact that he’s the priciest Canadian on the board despite not ever finishing better than T6 in this event. For what it’s worth, a loose course comp for TPC Toronto is TPC San Antonio, which is interesting for CC — as he’s won at that course twice. Specifically notable on that course are the elevated greens with surrounding bunkers below green-level, and while CC hasn’t been good ARD lately, he has gained around those elevated greens in his last 3 trips to TPC SA. Take that however you may, but of the top 3 names on the board, I like CC the most at his price.
