One of the most difficult events annually to handicap. The only angle that is etched in stone is a shootout will take place and going low is a requirement.
Also, with two easy tracks, pros will get healthy quickly. Pete Dye on Sunday will have the final say but last year two pros tied the course record with 63.
Hang on with both hands and take a few chances!
Rarefied air with a T7 last week suggests I’m ready to roll.

Justin Thomas is back to make it three wins in five years as he defends his title against the biggest field in history, 42 players.
A field of 42 tees it up for the first time in 2021 in Year 2 of the Coore-Crenshaw redesign at Kapalua’s Plantation Course.
