The weather won’t be a factor as the temperatures in the daytime are between 58-68 degrees for a high with no precipitation.
Our Pick: Looking strongly at Hideki Matsuyama at 18/1 as he has played some of the best golf in the past few months after having a poor start.
A few longshots: John Rahm at 21/1 and Ian Poulter +5100 who has a win, a second and a T-6 at this event
