Greenbrier Classic Rankings, Key Info and Best Bets
Greenbrier Classic Top 10 vs the field rankings | Twitter:@Nicspicks
(Prices are estimated fair odds to 100%. I have this market pretty bunched)
1. Bryson DeChambeau 16/1
2. Marc Leishman 20/1
3. Sungjae Im 20/1
4. Bubba Watson 25/1
5. Viktor Hovland 25/1
6. Jason Kokrak 28/1
7. Mailing list play 28/1
8. Mailing list play 33/1
9. Joel Dahmen 33/1
10. Kevin Na 33/1
The course: Old White TPC, par 70, 7,292 yards
Key Features: 2,000 feet above sea level. Resort Course pretty forgiving from the tee, although treelined, where many players are on 'vacation'. Course experience an advantage. Ugly shaped bearded bunkers.
Premium on putting from 10-25 feet, Greens in reg, distance control from approaches / approach prox - the altitude here makes approaches tricky and course exp. is an advantage. total birdies. Par 4 performance.
Player quotes:
"I know we're at altitude but I just couldn't get the ball to go pin high, it was going forever" - Tiger
"I've posed over a lot of iron shots and they end up not just a yard or 2 from where i figure but 10 or 12 yards off" - Phil
Best value bet: Joel Dahmen 85.00 is one of the most improved players on tour and I'm surprised to see him all but overlooked this week, especially given he was t5 here last year with 4x rounds in the sixties. He followed that with a runner up at the TPC Deere run where approach proximity is also key. Dahmen almost won at Quail Hollow this year in a stellar field and also recorded strong finishes at the likes of Torrey and Sawgrass. He ranks 6th in total birdies.
