The PGA Tour is at TPC Deere Run this week for the John Deere Classic. This Par 71 7000+ yard track will feature a watered down field as most of the elite players are across the Atlantic at the Scottish Open. This week my focus will be on BS and APP, particularly from proximities of 150 yards and below, and once again, I’ll be looking for guys who can get hot with the putter. Join us Tuesday night at 8:00 EST for the Win Daily PGA Livestream with much more on the course and the players (don’t forget to hit the ‘Like’ button on YouTube!). Now let’s get to my Initial Picks for the John Deere Classic.
Sungjae Im (10700) – Really like how he’s rounding into form. Earlier this year the APP game was just way off, but it’s been good for 3 weeks in a row now and he’s gaining everywhere else. It’s rare that I’m on Sungjae but it feels like the right time.
Brian Harman (10400) – Somehow this feels risky as his APP game can get dicey here and there. But those instances are few and far between and I like how he sets up at this course. This is another guy that I’m not normally on and I question his upside, but in this field the upside is there.
Kevin Streelman (9700) – I’m hopeful that the MC at the Travelers keeps ownership down as Streelman has been lights out. He rates out perfectly for this course and is in great form.
Seamus Power (9000) – Only question mark for Power is his spotty OTT game and his increased pricetag, but he has been great everywhere else and I think this is actually a fair price for him in this field. He’s played the John Deere three times and has three made cuts.
Patton Kizzire (8900) – This guy can get red hot with APP and PUTT and that’s a great combination for taking a tournament down. I worry a bit about his volatility OTT so I’m endorsing Kizzire for GPP only.
Maverick McNealy (8800) – Three top 30’s in a row and the ability to go low at any moment. Just like Kizzire he’s got some volatility attached to him, but the upside is there.
Hank Lebioda (8400) – A great ball striker as of late who has been absolutely dominant with the putter. How long will it last for Hammerin Hank no one knows, but I’ve been riding this train longer than most so I’m going to stay on it longer than most.
Kyle Stanley (7900) – I love Stanley but I need to offer the disclaimer that he is high risk due to a horrific putter. Over his last 30 tournaments (dates back to January 2020) he’s only gained with the PUTT 5 times. That’s pretty staggering and it makes him unsafe, but if ownership happens to be low, I’ll jump in.
Beau Hossler (7800) – We were on him last week and I’ll be on him again this week. He’s got three Top 25’s in a row and is a nice course fit. Finished 26th at the John Deere in 2019 in his only appearance.
Satoshi Kodaira (7000) – Kodaira broke our hearts last week with a back nine which led to an MC. I still like his ball striking and putting overall and he appears to be a better course fit this week. I’ll stick with Kodaira while others jump ship.
Adam Schenk (6900) – Another low end golfer we were on last week who made the cut and paid off his price. Schenk has good history here and has been striking the ball pretty well. The putter can be up and down, but willing to take the chance at this price.
JJ Spaun (6600) – If you need to go super low in price, JJ is a good option as his ball striking has been good as of late and we may be catching him on the rise. It’s obviously very risky down here in this range.
Secret Weapon (less than 7k/less than 5% owned) – Current record is 38-11. See you in Discord.
