The Travelers Championship was the final designated event before the FedExCup Playoffs on the PGA Tour, and Keegan Bradley got his second victory of the year. He didn't have his A-game as he came down the stretch, but had enough of a cushion at the top of the leaderboard to hold off the pack. I had Brian Harman as a 100/1 outright pick, and he finished T2 after a final round of 6-under. I always take my top picks for top-10s, so I made a little money off Harman.
This week, it's the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit. I once enquired about a mortgage with them, and still to this day they hound me with calls and packets of information in the mail. However, I'll put that minor (irritating) detail to one side and enjoy this week of golf.'
The tournament is being held a little earlier on the schedule this year, and we've got a pretty good field teeing it up, considering we're coming off a Major and a designated event. Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Max Homa and Tony Finau are the headline names.'
This week is wide open, and we've seen a variety of winning styes at this iconic course. I picked Finau to win at 14/1 last year, and he did, so I'm feeling the pressure to repeat and give you another champion. Here's hoping! He also won at -26, so we know it's going to be another low scoring week. Nate Lashley won in 2019 and was the last man to get his spot in the field. So late, in fact, that odds weren't even available for him before he teed off!
