Black Desert Championship and Open De France Picks and Predictions Oct 08, 2024

Show notes

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest cards for the Black Desert Championship and Open De France.

-Going over top 5 odds favs for Black Desert, -3 matchups, -1 t20, -2 outrights, -Sleeper, FRP, -Scoring prediction, -Best bet for Black Desert, -Open De France matchup, outright, and best bet

Will Doctor kicks off the podcast by reviewing the Sanderson Farms Championship and Dunhill Links Championship, followed by his predictions for the upcoming Black Desert Championship.

Key Player Highlights:

Kevin Yu: Secured his first PGA Tour win after a clutch 15-foot birdie putt in regulation. He climbed to 60th in the FedExCup standings. His stellar junior and college career at Arizona State laid the foundation for this victory.
Keith Mitchell: Disappointed after missing out on a playoff due to poor driving and a three-putt on the 72nd hole. Mitchell admitted, “I only hit one fairway,” reflecting his back-nine struggles. Will Doctor points out that Mitchell’s driving accuracy will be less of an issue at the wide-open Black Desert course, but his putting remains a concern.
Bo Hosler: Known for strong putting, Hosler lost the Sanderson Farms playoff, and his attempts to manipulate relief rulings raised eyebrows. Will criticizes Hosler for "trying to get an unfair drop," casting doubt on his ability to close out tournaments, especially since he's yet to secure a professional win.

Event and Course Insights:

The Black Desert Championship returns the PGA Tour to Utah for the first time in 60 years. The course has wide fairways and few hazards, likely leading to a birdie-fest. Will predicts a winning score of 29-under-par and emphasizes that driving accuracy won't be crucial this week.

Picks and Predictions:

Outright Picks:
Lucas Glover (40:1): Despite a tough 2024 season, Glover’s recent form and improved putting make him a strong contender. Will believes his ball-striking prowess and past success set him up for a solid performance.
Michael Thorbjornsen (40:1): Thorbjornsen’s ball-striking and ability to excel in birdie-heavy tournaments make him another strong pick.
Top 20 Pick:
Patton Kizzire: Known for thriving in birdie-fests, Kizzire’s consistent form makes him a solid choice for a top-20 finish at +240 odds.
Matchups:
Ryan Fox over Steven Yeager: Fox’s strong recent form and consistent play give him an edge.
K.H. Lee over Justin Suh: Will favors Lee’s experience in shootouts, while Suh’s ball-striking has been subpar this season.
Vince Whaley over Matt McCarty: Whaley’s recent improvement in approach play and McCarty’s struggles transitioning to the PGA Tour lead Will to back Whaley.

Best Bet and Final Scoring Prediction:

Best Bet: Lucas Glover to finish in the top 10 at +450 odds.
Winning Score Prediction: 29-under-par due to the course’s forgiving nature and birdie opportunities.

Will Doctor wraps up with his thoughts on the Open de France, giving an outright pick of Victor Perez to win at 28:1 and backing Justin Rose over Matthew Pavan in a head-to-head matchup.

Alfred Dunhill Links & Korn Ferry Tour Championship Picks and Predictions! Oct 02, 2024

Show notes

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship and Korn Ferry Tour Championship!

-Top 5 favs for Dunhill -2 matchups for Dunhill -1 t10 for Dunhill -2 outrights for Dunhill -Dunhill best bet -KFT Championship outright -KFT Championship best bet

Summary

Alfred Dunhill Links Championship

Jon Rahm (0:54 - 5:20)

Jon Rahm opens at +650, fresh off a second-place finish at the Open de España. Despite his strong recent form, Will Doctor passes on Rahm due to the unpredictable nature of his game and the ongoing conflict between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour. Rahm's excellent play over the past month is acknowledged, but his missed cut at this event in 2019 and distractions from the LIV-PGA dispute make him a risky pick.

Rory McIlroy (5:21 - 10:30)

McIlroy, priced at +700, has several near-wins this season, including a playoff loss at the BMW PGA Championship. His putting has been outstanding, but Will Doctor is concerned about potential distractions as McIlroy is paired with prominent figures in the pro-am. Despite McIlroy’s stellar form and strong history at the Dunhill, Will Doctor opts to skip him this week, but favors McIlroy over Rahm.

Tyrrell Hatton vs. Tommy Fleetwood (11:00 - 16:00)

Hatton, priced at 11-1, has won this event twice but has struggled with slow starts this year. Will Doctor backs Hatton in a matchup against Fleetwood, whose poor putting and recent finishes (no better than 22nd) at the Dunhill raise concerns. Fleetwood’s past success at the Dunhill, including multiple second-place finishes, is overshadowed by recent struggles.

Shane Lowry (16:01 - 18:00)

Lowry, priced at 20-1, is passed over due to his subpar putting. Despite strong ball striking, Will Doctor believes Lowry’s struggles on the greens will keep him from contending this week.

Robert MacIntyre vs. Shane Lowry (18:01 - 21:00)

Will Doctor picks MacIntyre over Lowry in a matchup, citing MacIntyre’s recent solid play, including a win at the Scottish Open and multiple top finishes. MacIntyre’s consistent driving and putting make him a safer pick than Lowry.

Grant Forrest (22:00 - 25:00)

Forrest is Will Doctor’s first outright pick, priced at 80-1. His recent form, including top-10 finishes at the Irish Open and Open de España, along with strong past performances at the Dunhill, make him a contender. Will Doctor also picks Forrest for a top-10 finish at +375.

Tom McKibben (25:01 - 27:00)

McKibben, at 60-1, is another outright pick. Despite recent struggles, McKibben’s strong driving and iron play are highlighted as key strengths. His 10th-place finish at the BMW PGA signals a return to form, making him a value bet for this week.

Best Bet: Nicholas Norgaard Over Patrick Reed (27:01 - 30:00)

Norgaard is chosen over Reed at -115. Norgaard’s recent win at the British Masters and strong play over the past month make him a reliable pick, while Reed’s top-10 finish last week is attributed mostly to luck with putting.

Korn Ferry Tour Championship

John Pak (30:01 - 33:00)

Pak, priced at 45-1, is Will Doctor’s outright pick. Pak has shown recent improvement, finishing in the top 15 in his last two starts. Will Doctor believes Pak is well-positioned to win and secure a PGA Tour card.

Isaiah Salenda (33:01 - 35:00)

Salenda is Will Doctor’s best bet for a top-20 finish at +320. His long drives make him well-suited for the demanding Pete Dye course, and Will Doctor expects him to rebound after a missed cut last week.
Conclusion Will Doctor closes by encouraging listeners to stay tuned for more coverage and to review his Sanderson Farms Championship preview. His picks for the Alfred Dunhill Links and Korn Ferry Tour Championship offer a mix of well-researched matchups, outright winners, and best bets to guide bettors for the upcoming tournaments.

Sanderson Farms Championship Picks and Predictions Oct 02, 2024

Show notes

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the Sanderson Farms Championship.

-Discussing top five favorites at CC of Jackson

-3 matchups -2 t10 -2 outrights -Sleeper -FRP, lineup, scoring -Best Bet

Introduction and Overview

Will Doctor introduces the Golf Preview Podcast with an energetic focus on the Sanderson Farms Championship, Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, and the Corn Fairy Tour Championship. This episode centers on providing expert picks and betting insights for the Sanderson Farms Championship held at the Country Club of Jackson.

Tournament Breakdown

Sanderson Farms Championship Overview

Will reflects on the recent Presidents Cup, where Team USA won 18.5 to 11.5, with some controversy involving Tom Kim. He then dives into player analysis for the Sanderson Farms Championship, assessing top players, their odds, and recent performances.

Player Analysis

Keith Mitchell

At 25-to-1 odds, Mitchell is questioned as a favorite due to missing the cut all four times at Jackson. Despite two recent top-12 finishes, his season has been underwhelming. Will advises against betting on him.

Seamus Power

Power is also 25-to-1 but fares slightly better due to his global experience. However, poor iron play in recent events diminishes his chances, making him a risky pick.

Maverick McNeely

Listed at 28-to-1, McNeely’s inconsistency and poor recent performances make him a risky choice. Will believes his odds should be higher.

Mackenzie Hughes

Despite winning this tournament two years ago, Hughes’ poor performance at the Presidents Cup makes Will pass on him at 28-to-1 odds, citing fatigue and inconsistent form.

Nick Dunlop

At 30-to-1, Dunlop is a promising young player with strong birdie conversion rates. Will sees potential in Dunlop but acknowledges the risks due to his inexperience.

Key Matchups and Predictions

Nick Dunlop vs. Eric Cole

Will picks Dunlop over Cole at -140 odds, noting Cole’s poor driving and iron play compared to Dunlop’s consistency.

Henrik Norlander vs. Chandler Phillips

Norlander, with three top-four finishes at Jackson, is favored due to his course familiarity. Will backs Norlander at even money.

Rico Hoey vs. Sam Stevens

Hoey is favored at -105 over Stevens, given Hoey’s sharp iron play and Stevens’ struggles throughout the 2024 season.

Outright Picks

Patrick Fishburne

At 35-to-1, Fishburne’s strong putting and consistent fairway play make him one of Will’s top picks for an outright win. His recent form has been impressive.

Grayson Sig

Priced at 90-to-1, Sig’s familiarity with Jackson and solid recent performances position him as a good value pick for an outright win.

Best Bet and Final Thoughts

Mack Meisner

Will’s best bet is Mack Meisner to finish in the top 20 at +220 odds. Despite a missed cut at Napa, Meisner’s comfort on Bermuda greens and solid iron play make him a great pick.

Conclusion

Will concludes with final thoughts on the Sanderson Farms Championship, offering listeners sharp picks and teasing future episodes covering the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship and the Corn Fairy Tour Championship.
