Another major is in the books, and this time it was another Matt Fitzpatrick experience where he was in the picture but never really felt like he would play a role in the outcome.
Instead it looked like a battle between the kids of the Korn Ferry Tour, but much like what happened on that tour, chaos erupted on the final few holes. Justin Thomas took advantage of his competition’s inexperience to win a second Major.
Now we move from Southern Hills to another Perry Maxwell design at Colonial for the Charles Schwab Challenge.
Usually the week after a grueling major is a chance to fade away the top names struggling through a four-day slog; However, there is a good chance that the form will be carried over to a course by the same designer.
Of course
Colonial has hosted the event since 1946. It is a par 70 approximately 7,200 yards long. When the wind picks up it can be quite difficult to play. If it’s calm, we’ll likely see a winner near 20 under par.
This has never really been a bomber course. Jason Kokrak competes as the defending champion. Daniel Berger, Kevin Na, Kevin Kisner and Jordan Spieth also have victories in their vita.
Colonial is typically more of a precision course where guys can find the fairway and put their irons and short game to work.
The favourites
Thomas and Scottie Scheffler open up between +1000 and +1200 depending on where you look.
Of the two, Thomas would probably be better suited to play well given his lead in irons, but it would come down to how badly he suffers from the PGA championship.
Last week Scheffler was bad on the ball and had bad luck with the weather. But the irons were in good shape. In two starts, however, he did not finish better than 55th place.
Spieth is next in line at around +1400 and he should probably be the favorite given his track record here – he has one win and three second places. Combine that with his recent form – he won at Harbor Town and finished second in the Byron Nelson – and he’s the most likely threat at the top of the board to actually win this week.
Collin Morikawa is right behind Spieth at +1600. He fits in well here too and lost in a playoff two years ago. He was another weather accident victim last week who made the cut but never actually dug out of his hole.
He’s been pretty off the mark with his short game lately and while solid on the ball, his shots on the ball haven’t been able to overcome that weakness in recent weeks.
Viktor Hovland, Will Zalatoris and Max Homa make up the +2000 line.
Zulatoris will be popular at the PGA after finishing second behind Thomas.
Homa had a good run but didn’t do too well here, missing cuts two out of three starts.
Hovland doesn’t seem like the best choice for this course, having a history of negating the importance of distance and adding an extra emphasis to climbing with its small greens.
The middle school
We start here with Tony Finau under +4100 at FanDuel. Finau hasn’t been his usual consistent self this season, but overall there have been signs of improvement.
Finau took a beating across the board at the PGA last week. It was the first time he has done so since winning at the Northern Trust last year. He also showed insights into hitting elite balls. A few weeks ago at Wells Fargo he won six shots off the tee and in Mexico he won eight shots off his irons en route to second place.
This was also a point where Finau played well. He finished second to Kevin Na in 2019 and has made the cut in all six starts without a finish worse than 34th.
I come back Davis Riley again at +5000 at DraftKings. He’ll likely be popular again this week after scoring 11 shots by ball hit in his PGA Championship debut (13th).
Even in his rookie year, the Texas tracks have done him good so far. He’s secured tour status for next season with a streak of four straight top-15 finishes he’ll do with runner-up Valspar earlier this year.
Now all he has to do is win. I usually bet on him most weeks anyway and won’t stop now that he’s in this form.
We’re going too Sebastian Munoz at +6000. Munoz was third here a year ago and third at the Byron Nelson two weeks ago. He can play well here and has played well lately. He’s made the cut at every start for four months, most recently missing one at the AmEx in late January.
Munoz has also won shots on approach in seven of his last eight events. His putter can get hot and cold, but before the PGA Championship, he seemed to have it all on the greens
I will go too JustinRose here at +6500. A former champion here in 2018, Rose has been in the top 20 in three of his four starts. He’s also had a good week in the PGA, where he finished 13th and won five shots with the irons.
This is a course that historically has catered more to veterans. So if he can wear that form from last week in Colonial, he could be back here.
The long shots
This wasn’t really a place for unknown winners. Usually it was middle-class veterans or (then) established stars who took home the title.
My only playdown from this area will be Luke Glover at 160-1 on FanDuel. Glover had a great week on the irons at Southern Hills, gaining nearly eight shots to finish 23rd.
He has also finished in the top 25 on his last two starts here, including 8th last year. He’s gained close to 10 shots combined during those tournaments, so it’s a course that suits his eyes with the irons over the past few years.
