Harry’s PGA Picks of the Week
(Picks are for whole tournament, not daily)
"Par" Pick
+110 Phil Mickelson over Brian Harman
San Diego native Phil Mickelson finished in a tie for second last year in La Quinta and is always a fan favorite here. This is just my "par" pick.
"Birdie" Pick
-130 Aaron Wise over Brendan Steele
Steele may not have a lot in the tank left as he was in contention last week at the Sony Open but shot a high round 71 on Sunday and lost in a playoff to Australian Cameron Smith. Just like a birdie is a better score, this is a better pick.
"Eagle" Pick
-105 Adam Long over Cameron Tringale
You only have to lay =105 with the defending champion. I'll take that all day.
"Albatross" Pick
-120 Jason Kokrak over Francesco Molinari
It has been some time now since Molinari has played on tour and Kokrak in the past two years at La Quinta has finished 18th and 8th. Kokrak is also 2nd on tour in driving distance.
Hole In One Pick
-115 Sungjae Im over Tony Finau
I expect Im to easily beat Finau in this matchup.
Player to Win Tourney
15/1 Sungjae Im to Win
This 21 year old continues to shoot up the world ranking and now sits at 21st in the world and is 9th in the Fed Ex Cup standings. Im finished in the Top 15 here last season and has two Top 10’s already in this season. In 7 tournaments so far Im has made the cut in all 7 and has 5 Top 25 finishes.
Oh my!
