Last WEEK – 3M Open
Right church, wrong pew. Took a flier on an up-and-comer. Pierceson Coody failed to make the weekend, while Jackson Koivun won in his third start as a professional.
This Week – Rocket Classic
With the new redesign in play, everyone is reset to zero.
Time to jump on a player in form with a bit of pedigree to handle the challenge.
The Choice: Hideki Matsuyama
The Japanese star posted rounds of 65-65-64 on his final 54 holes to force his way onto the podium (T3) last week in Minnesota. Fantastic around the greens and off the tee, the newly expanded greens will give him ample targets from the fairways. When he WD moments before his tee time, you can blame me. I have big shoulders.
