I'll take Horschel. I liked his "this course is going to punish us" attitude coming in.

I don’t really understand why he’s outside the top 10 on Draftkings, FanDuel, and Bovada (which I assume are the largest US sportbooks) since he’s swapped with Daniel Berger on some other sites. :shrug:

Honestly watching KH Lee play in the rain (and knowing weather could be a factor) - I'm thinkin he finishes top 20 here.

Matsuyama was also outside the top 10 on Ladbrokes which is the UK sportsbook I used to get odds from before switching to DraftKings this year. My impression is that Matsuyama was in the top 10 when odds opened this week, but because I made the thread at 10pm Monday, Daniel Berger had moved ahead of Matsuyama.

e: 7am Wednesday and Matsuyama still #11 in the odds. :thunk:

This course is going to be an absolute beast if the weather is even a bit rough. 7850 yards plus some guaranteed windy stretches is crazy.

From some of the videos on social media the wind is already crazy and this course is going to be a beast. I’d imagine the winner to be close to par, there aren’t going to be any crazy scores this week.

Quoting this for when someone goes 22 under. It's inevitable, the hardest courses have one of those weekends where someone just nails it. Hopefully, Matsuyama.

Current forecast says the winds might die down over the weekend, which is sad. I’d love for 25-30 all week.

I've been sloppy this year: typo in the title, deprecated event link in the OP, and didn't get marquee pairings down until now, which is a shame since :monocle: 8:33am Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, Brooks Koepka

e: They're on their 11th hole. Still plenty to watch! https://www.espn.com/watch/player/_/id/d2bbcef2-25e7-45ff-8f97-ad8ed9be3e14#bucketId=29899

They were released may 17th on Nike for $220. So now you’ll have to pay $300+ for them. StockX has a bunch though.

And he's playing well. Better snag them up fast or pay 500 for them in a week.

Koepka playing well. An obvious pick under normal circumstances but his knee was too questionable for me.

Looks like I was wrong.

This is the first time since I've been watching golf where he was a betting option and still no one took him. Honestly surprised by that.

Dang Brooks looks to be in prime form. That's a very dangerous proposition to the rest of the field.

I fully expect him to fall apart but so far he looks like he will at least make the cut. I know he's had some knee issues but I was really surprised to not see him in the top 10 betting odds.
