Before starting this weekly article, I had a total of zero outright winners on the season. I was constantly betting on golfers that were finishing in the top five, but none of them could cross the finish line for me.
While it’s surely coincidental, I want to think that starting this article has brought some good luck to my picks. Over the last three months, we have hit four outright winners:
- Matt Fitzpatrick at the U.S. Open
- J.T. Poston at the John Deere Classic
- Cameron Smith at the Open Championship
- Will Zalatoris at the FedEx St. Jude Championship
Willy Z is one of the easiest golfers to root for on TOUR, especially after having so many heartbreaks over the last two seasons. While Sunday nearly gave me a heart attack, it felt great to hold an outright ticket in his first PGA TOUR victory.
