JoePa's WYNDHAM CHAMPIONSHIP Picks
Thanks to Brooks Koepka and Robert Streb for helping me to Top 5 and Top 10 finishes last week! Seems like an "off" week for lots of Tour players after the PGA Championship last week. Congrats to Jason Day!
BROOKS KOEPKA 14/1 TO WIN OUTRIGHT - Top 5 finish last week at Whistling Straits on the strength of a final round 64! I will just bet that he's caught the eye of the Presidents Cup captains. He's ranked 21st in GIR, 3rd in adjusted scoring and in his debut here in 2014 he opened with a 64!
HIDEKI MATSUYAMA 4/1 TOP 5 FINISH - He's still among the best even though his play has been a little hot and cold lately. Currently ranks T3rd in par 4 scoring, 5th in strokes gained tee-to-green and 9th in total driving. Finished solo 15th in his 2013 debut here and is ranked 19th in the FedEx standings and 16th in the OWGR. He just has to put four rounds togehter again sooner rather than later....right!?
JUSTIN THOMAS 5/1 TOP 5 FINISH - He's been locked and loaded in his last three Tour starts taking 5th at the John Deere, T4th at the Quicken Loans and T18th at the PGA Championship! How's about a 'W' pretty soon! In 12 of his last 16 Tour rounds he has scored in the 60s and is ranked 7th in birdie average, 35th in GIR, 20th in scoring, 19th in driving distance and 7th in putting average.
MARTIN KAYMER 11/2 TOP 5 FINISH - German engineering isn't just about VWs! Kaymer needs to be focused to up his FedEx standing in order the make the playoffs and he's certainly taken huge steps in that direction over his last four starts. With a 4th the Alstom Open de France, T12th at The Open Championship, T45th at the Bridgestone and T12th last week at the PGA Championship---that's two Top 12s in majors---he has a 73% GIR rating, is 21st in the OWGR and T20th here in his 2013 debut.
