Back to the desert after two weeks on the coast of California.
Gained a spot probably because I forgot to roster Jason Day on Sunday at Pebble when he was NEGATIVE points.
Lucky me!
Scottsdale is party.
EXPERT PICKS: WM PHOENIX OPEN
| EXPERT | LINEUP | WINNER | COMMENT | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ROB BOLTON FANTASY INSIDER | Viktor Hovland Hideki Matsuyama Webb Simpson Justin Thomas Xander Schauffele Jordan Spieth | Jon Rahm | Rahm is my projected champ because he’s No. 1 in the Power Rankings, but I’m out of starts for the Spaniard. No biggie. This sturdy six-some can hold the fort. | |
| CAMERON MORFIT STAFF WRITER | Viktor Hovland Hideki Matsuyama Jon Rahm Justin Thomas Luke List Keith Mitchell | Jon Rahm | He’s been a fraction off but he finds it at home. | |
| SEAN MARTIN SENIOR EDITOR | Patrick Cantlay Viktor Hovland Scottie Scheffler Justin Thomas Hideki Matsuyama Jordan Spieth | Viktor Hovland | The hottest man on the planet has three wins in his last five starts. | |
| MIKE GLASSCOTT FANTASY CONTRIBUTOR | Patrick Cantlay Hideki Matsuyama Jordan Spieth Justin Thomas Viktor Hovland Brooks Koepka | Justin Thomas | He got my attention after 36 holes at Torrey Pines. Never finished outside T17 when playing the weekend here in five trips. The big stage rarely bothers him! | |
| BEN EVERILL STAFF WRITER | Cam Davis Louis Oosthuizen Justin Thomas Scottie Scheffler Xander Schauffele Hideki Matsuyama | Scottie Scheffler | It’s time. Should be a Sch-fest down the Super Bowl Sunday stretch as Scottie and Xander Schauffele look to make up for missed chances a year ago. | |
| JASON SOBEL THE ACTION NETWORK, GOLFBET | Keith Mitchell Jordan Spieth Justin Thomas Aaron Wise Louis Oosthuizen Scottie Scheffler | Keith Mitchell | Fits the profile of many past WMPO champs — long and straight off the tee and plays with a little swagger. |
