LONG-SHOT OUTRIGHT BETS TO MAKE
If you follow me on Twitter or read this column, you know I love betting on golf long shots (+1500 to +2000 or longer). There’s just something thrilling about holding a lottery ticket deep into Sunday. It also presents you with multiple hedging opportunities if you want to eliminate some of your risks.
As usual, a lot of my bets this week are based on course history and form, so here are a couple of guys worth sprinkling pizza money on:
Patrick Cantlay +1800
Viktor Hovland +1800
Tony Finau +2500
Wyndham Clark +2500
Sahith Theegala +5000
Will Zalatoris +7500
