Last WEEK – Travelers Championship
THE CHOICE: Brian Harman – T24
After posting 70 in Round 2, he followed with 63 on Saturday to spark FALSE HOPE. He closed with 38 on Sunday and posted his worst finish since T35 in 2017. He broke a streak of seven consecutive top-10 paydays when making the cut.
Mad?
Me?
Nah.
This Week – John Deere Classic
The Choice: J.T. Poston
I am loading up on the former champ with
Whatever.
I have no problem with Jackson Koivun, Tom Kim, or Ben Griffin, if available haha.
My next level would be Davis Thompson, Sudarshan Yellamaraju, or Jordan Spieth.
IF you are still in contention, good luck!
