I know it has been a while since I’ve posted a blog to get my subscribers the best bets out there, but COVID kind of got in the way. But in honor of my boy, Lucas, having his bachelor party this weekend, I have decided to give my subscribers FREE MONEY! That’s right, I give the bets, you make the bets, we all win money. Today, we’re placing the five best bets on The Memorial Tournament. Let’s get to it!
#5 – Kevin Streelman Top 20 +225
In 18 events this year, Streelman has been cut in 10 of them. However, he also has 4 top 10 finishes, including in each of his last 2 events (Finished 2nd and 7th). Last year he finished 4th in this tournament and that 7th place finish in his last event, oh yeah, that was the same course. Back to back top 10 finishes at this course while he is hot make +225 in the top 20 a steal. In fact, with odds of +500, a Top 10 bet might not be such a bad idea. Oh, and he is a Duke graduate, so you know, he is a champion.
#4- Daniel Berger Top 20 +200
In the two events Berger has played in since the return to play, he has finished 1st (Charles Schwab Challenge with -15) and 3rd (RBC Heritage with -20). He has shot a 71 or better in 32 straight rounds, including 10 straight rounds below 70. These are his finishes in his last 8 events from latest to most recent: 17, 38, 29, 9, 5, 4, 1, 3. This dude is primed for another Top 10 finish (which have odds of +400), but with +200 odds at a Top 20 for extra cushion with still plus money, I like that a lot.
#3- Harris English Top 30 +275
Feel free to go Top 20 (+400) or even Top 40 (+175) which both still return plus money, but here is why I like the Top 30 bet. Of his 13 events this season, he has finished top 25 in 8 of those, including 5 Top 10 finishes. He has finished in the Top 20 in 4 of his last 5 events. In his last event he shot a -15 with a 64 on in the final round. He’s been known to struggle, posting a couple 74 rounds here and there, but if he can be more consistent, the payoff here will be worth it.
#2- Webb Simpson Top 10 +275
In 6 of his last 8 events, Simpson has finished in the Top 10, with 4 of those being in the Top 3! He was CUT in the Charles Schwab Challenge to resume play after COVID shut the tour down, but followed that up with a win in the RBH Heritage with a -22 and 8th in the Rocket Mortgage Classic with a -15. So, yes, he is shooting 37 under par in his last 8 rounds of golf. If you take out his CUT, he is averaging a finish of 11.8th place and if you take out his 61st place finish in Mexico, he is averaging a 3.6th place finish in the other 6 events. He is my pick to Win (+2200), but Top 5 (+550) also brings rewards, but Top 10 is a lock with such great odds.
#1- Bryson DeChambeau Top 20 -175
All eyes on Bryson this weekend (I mean, if Tiger weren’t there). This guy has been the most consistent, on fire player on the tour. His season began being CUT at the Greenbrier, but since; here are his finishes from latest to most recent: 13, 4, 52, 5, 2, 4, 3, 8, 6, 1. Is that good? It seems good. He has finished in the Top 10 (+138) in 7 in a row with 5 of those being Top 5 (+250), both worth betting looks. But for sheer LOCK OF THE WEEKEND, we’ll go Top 20 and drown ourselves with the money.
Stay tuned for my long shot post later on. Happy bacheloring it up!
