After back to back winners in the team game, I went close again with Justin Thomas last week.
Straying from the herd this week but I like the way it matches up.
EXPERT PICKS: SONY OPEN IN HAWAII
SEAN MARTIN SENIOR EDITOR | Daniel Berger Harris English Sungjae Im Webb Simpson Zach Johnson Ryan Palmer | Webb Simpson | Short, old-school par-70. Right up his alley. | |
BEN EVERILL STAFF WRITER | Abraham Ancer Sungjae Im Adam Scott Cameron Smith Collin Morikawa Joaquin Niemann | Cameron Smith | Itâs time for a title defense from Smithy although his Presidents Cup teammates are going to push him all the way. Donât be surprised if this is Abeâs breakthrough week. | |
ROB BOLTON FANTASY INSIDER | Daniel Berger Sungjae Im Collin Morikawa Webb Simpson Joaquin Niemann Ryan Palmer | Sungjae Im | Although shootouts are nerve-wracking, setting this lineup wasnât hard. All six are warm after opening 2021 at Kapalua. The bump is real. | |
MIKE GLASSCOTT FANTASY CONTRIBUTOR | Sungjae Im Kevin Kisner Collin Morikawa Webb Simpson Daniel Berger Harris English | Kevin Kisner | Loves a manageable 7,000 and Bermudagrass and both those boxes are checked this week. Went close in similar conditions at RSM before falling in a playoff. 30-somethings have had a solid 10-year run here. | |
JASON SOBEL THE ACTION NETWORK, GOLFBET | Abraham Ancer Sungjae Im Marc Leishman Collin Morikawa Emiliano Grillo Henrik Norlander | Abraham Ancer | There are no foolproof predictive stats, but I like looking at final-round ball-striking numbers from the previous week. Ancer was second in SG-T2G and first in SG-A on Sunday at Kapalua. | |
CAMERON MORFIT STAFF WRITER | Harris English Sungjae Im Ryan Palmer Webb Simpson Daniel Berger Lanto Griffin | Harris English | QBE Shootout, Sentry TOC, Sony Open trifecta seems tantalizingly possible in light of Englishâs three straight Sony top-10s from 2013-15. |
