It's been two weeks, but we might as well recap the RSM. Adam Svensson grabbed his first PGA Tour title. Svensson was not on many people's radar heading into the week as he was listed as high as 150-1 and he certainly didn't rank inside the top-10 Strokes Gained over the previous six months. Nonetheless, that trend has produced five winners in nine events this fall and 27-in-43 (63%) events in 2022.
This week, we have a 50-percent chance of keeping that trend alive just on field size alone as only 20 players get the invite to this ultra-exclusive tournament.
