Insights: Collin Morikawa at this price? Spare me. Sure, by name alone, he’s arguably the class of the field at the Rocket Classic, but last time I checked, names themselves aren’t teeing it up on the links every weekend. Morikawa hasn’t cracked the top 15 in over two months, and he’s hemorrhaged over 10 strokes putting across his last two starts. That’s not just a cold streak, it’s a full-blown meltdown. Now oddsmakers expect us to back him in a birdie fest, on greens that demand confidence he clearly doesn’t have? Could he win? Technically, yes, but at this horrific sub-15/1 price, you’re paying a premium for pedigree with zero recent payoff. Let someone else light their money on fire.
Patrick Cantlay
Odds: +1600
Stats: Top 100 exclude SCR (128), BOB 150175 (131), P3 (130)
Rank: Top 75% exclude SCR, P3
SG Gains: OTT 4/4, APP 2/4, ARD 2/4, PUTT 1/4
FORM: 12/MC/12/MC
Rocket Classic Results: 2/47/67
Comp Results: 5/11/17/17/40/47/67
Insights: Patrick Cantlay is Champ’s pick from the top of the board this week. He’s been solid off the tee and has gained on approach in four of his last six starts. Despite two missed cuts—both in majors—he’s posted three Top 5 finishes this season and 15 Top 5s since his last win in August 2022. He returns to a birdie-friendly track where he finished runner-up in 2022, and with his well-rounded game trending, I expect him to be right there on Sunday.
Keegan Bradley
Odds: +1800
Stats: Top 100 exclude APP 200+ (148), SCR (106)
Rank: Top 75% exclude APP 200+
SG Gains: OTT 4/4, APP 3/4, ARD 3/4, PUTT 3/4

Comp Results: 5/13/15/22/32/MC/MC
Insights: Keegan Bradley lit up the Travelers last week with a dramatic birdie to win the tournament on #18. He gained nearly 7 strokes putting and over 5 strokes tee to green at what many consider to be his “home course.” No doubt it was a stellar showing, but let’s pump the brakes on ole’ Captain America. This is not a guy who screams back-to-back winner, especially heading into the Rocket Classic — where volatility reigns and putting magic rarely repeats. At sub-20/1, the price is bloated and begging for a fade. Keegan was great in Connecticut last week, but if you're backing him here, you're chasing ghosts. Sammy’s fade-of-the-week.
