Justin Thomas hasn't played well the past two weeks. He's finished 10th in Texas before finishing with a flourish at the weekend at Hilton Head to grab 8th,where his driver has misbehaved for both weeks not to mention some poor approach shots. I like the fact he's had the game time and arrives here where he would expect to perform better then the last fortnight. He doesn't have great course form though, although he finished 3rd in 2016 behind winner,Russell Knox and Jerry Kelly with a closing 62 proving he can play the course and score on it. Thomas was a little upset at the Florida stance on social distancing last week and he remarked how he kept his circle tight and had a chef traveling with his entourage to ensure it was a business trip with a professional approach for the job at hand, and I think he can build on the two results despite knowing he was far from his best by challenging for title number 13 on the PGA Tour. At 14.00 hes an outright bet for me this week.
Sergio Garcia is not a player I back often nor want to watch or cheer on often either, but I have started to warm to him a bit more since he married and settled down a bit, despite his tantrums in 2019. Recently turned 40, I'm hoping in pretty much the same vein as I mentioned Adam Scott for the Genesis, that he can emulate both Scott & G-Mac in recent times by making the milestone a motivator to challenge and win soon again. His exploits at Hilton Head suggest his game is in fine nick and at a course where strong tee-to-green game is vital, the Spaniard is looking way overpriced for me this week @ 60.00 WIN, 6.00 TOP-10 and 3.30 TOP-20.
