McCarthy shot four rounds in the 60's in this event in 2019, ending in a tie for 21st. He is currently 33rd in the strokes gained rankings - last season he was 108th in that category. The former Walker Cup player is regarded as the best putter on the PGA Tour, but it's improvements in his long game which have propelled him to 40th in the FedEx Cup standings. This has been a breakout year for American Denny McCarthy, who contended at the US Open, one of three top ten finishes in his last four starts. (1/5 the odds the first 8 places, William Hill). Our third selection is Denny McCarthy for €3 each way at 45/1. A maiden win is just around the corner for Young.
#Rocket mortgage classic power rankings driver#
He's a long driver of the golf ball who makes a bunch of birdies, so this track should be right up his alley. So I am not concerned that he hasn't played in the Rocket Mortgage Classic before.

Young also tied for third at the US PGA Championship and he's traversed the circuit this year playing well at a wide variety of courses. Young has four second place finishes from 21 starts this season, but what's impressive is that the last of those was at the Open Championship at St Andrews.

Our second selection is Cameron Young for €4 each way at 18/1. To me, he's over priced and he's the headline selection this week at 70/1. Pendrith was a birdie machine on the Korn Ferry Tour and I don't feel he's had a chance to show his ability yet. Detroit Golf Club should suit a player who is 14th in driving distance and 9th in greens in regulation in the statistics. He then collected a tie for 11th after a slow start at the Barracuda Championship. The 31 year old returned to the Tour at the Barbasol Championship earlier this month and another tie for 13th was in the offing. Pendrith then injured his rib at the Players Championship back in March where he tied 13th. He posted eight top tens on the Korn Ferry Tour last season and then squandered an opportunity to win in Bermuda on just his fourth start on the PGA Tour this season.

(1/5 the odds the first 8 places, SKY Bet).Ĭanadian Taylor Pendrith strikes me as a player completely under the radar right now. Our headline selection is Taylor Pendrith for €5 each way at 70/1. The event starts at 11.45am Thursday, Irish time.īe sure to shop around, with bookmakers such as Paddy Power, SKY Bet, Betfair, Ladbrokes, Coral, Betfred and William Hill offering 1/5 the odds for your pick to get into the top eight places. This is a tournament which suits big hitters that can attack the small greens. In 2020, Bryson DeChambeau came home in front with a score of 23 under par and last year's leading score in regulation was 18 under par - Cam Davis eventually won in a play off. In 2019, Nate Lashley won with a score of 25 under par.
