But he’s 70 to1 in outright Market he’s he’s three to one for a top 20 finish uh he may not be under the radar as as far as defending champ but he’s been quietly earning paychecks I’ll say he hasn’t missed the cut since the Open Championship last summer so run of 12 12
Straight excuse me Cuts made however he only has one top 20 finish during that stretch as well so he’s kind of just like you just don’t hear about him at all right he’s making the cut and then you just he’s out in the morning waves
On the weekends and he’s not on TV he’s not anywhere to be found so why do I like him this week well he was on kind of a volatile run preceding last year’s tournament he had four miscuts in nine events leading up to the Val far so I
Actually like his consistency going into it this year he’s had flashes of like one part of his game working in one part not so much so it’s either been great iron week so far this year or it’s been great putting he’s just not really putting them both together at the same
Week and that’s what he did here last year uh over those four rounds however Copperhead really has proven to be a course that you know kind of once you figure out you get very comfortable here you tend to play well uh year after year obviously we have we’re talking about
Two back-to-back winners in just the last five years Paul Casey back toback Sam Burns back toback Taylor Moore has a chance to go back toback I don’t know that he will but I do think he can play well um because he’s comfortable here and and he’s actually playing more
Consistent this year going in than he was last year he ranks 23rd in greens and regulation this season uh and a respectable 41st and 28th in proximity from 175 to 200 and 200 to 225 respectively so I mentioned those those kind of yardages at the beginning of the
Show but there’s a ton of shots over 50% coming from within that range and it’s going to be something I’m paying attention to so he’s got some data points that that intrigue me I think his price is pretty dang attractive for a defending Champion I don’t think it’s
Affected by the fact that he’s defending Champion so I like Taylor Mo to have a decent showing this week in 3 to one on a top 20 I think it’s pretty good number
