The top propositions for the first round leader at the 2022 PGA Championship.
Best Bet
Spieth, chasing his career grand slam, can get off to a rip-roaring start. He ranks 7th in the field in strokes gained in opening rounds on long courses and leads all players in strokes gained in opening rounds on Par 70 courses.
Mid-Tier Bet
Big hitting Tony Finau has found a course that should suit him well. He ranks 17th in the field in first round strokes gained on long courses with bentgrass greens – 6th among those teeing off in the morning.
Value Bet
Led the Wells Fargo two weeks ago on the back of a stunning 63 and he is another with a quality record of scoring well in opening rounds on long courses, ranking 12th in strokes gained in first rounds on courses over 7400 yards and 11th in strokes gained in first rounds on courses with bentgrass greens.
Longshot Bet
Reed’s form has fallen off dramatically over the last 12-18 months but he ranks fourth in the field in strokes gained in the first round on courses longer than 7400 yards. He has done it on the back of an outstanding short game, which is critcal here. A morning tee time here is very important.
