Tips and prediction

Jordan Spieth looks close, but his game still has some wrinkles to fix, and TPC has never been particularly kind to him, cutting T48 and T41 five times in their last seven games, despite finishing T4 in his first game in 2014.

Given that Smith was as tall as 40/1 last year, with Webb Simpson (2018), Si Woo Kim (2017) and even Rickie Fowler (2015) victorious at great prices, historically speaking, an outsider is a big as stars. has a chance. .

Considering Tiger Woods (2013) is the only player to win multiple times since 2013, repeat wins are rare. So if we ignore the big scorers at the top of the odds list, we love Jason Day considering his return to form, and not to mention the big win in 2016, T6 in 2011, T5 in 2018 and T8 in 2019. See also PGA Tour form: T7, 5, T9, T10. Looks like a breakthrough is coming.
