Bubba’s past three finishes haven’t inspired much confidence, but he’s a three-time winner at TPC River Highlands.

He missed the cut at the Travelers last year, but I think this year will be a different story.

That, combined with 45th in SG: Approach, and I think he’ll have a ton of looks at birdie this week in what should be a birdie fest.

Also a great performer at correlated courses like Innisbrook for the Valspar and Sedgefield for the Wyndham, Reed, too, ought to be in the mix in the end.

I went heavy on the short game with all of my plays this week, and Tringale is no exception, as he is 10th on Tour in Scrambling and 18th in SG: Putting.

He has missed two straight cuts, but is not far removed from finishing fifth at the Valspar, runner-up at the Wells Fargo, and eighth at the PGA.

He finished eighth at the PGA, which was his best finish in a major since the Open Championship in 2019, and followed up with an 11th at the Memorial.

Si Woo’s best finish here is an 11th last year, but he is always someone you must consider on Pete Dye designs.

Redman has been playing awesome the past month, including finishing second his last time out before getting some rest.

I can’t believe Cink is 100-1 to win a tournament he’s won two times — in a season in which he’s won twice! Crazy.

The soon-to-be #GirlDad is coming in off an eighth and 11th the past two times he’s teed it up.

He’s the defending champ here, so all the more reason to risk a few clams on him.

A long shot here, but he’s been getting his game dialed in.
