A hot field heads to Canada and the St George Golf & Country Club chasing one of the oldest national opens across the globe.
Best Bet
Burns was a stunning winner of the Charles Schwab two weeks back, defeating No.1 Scottie Scheffler in a playoff when trailing by seven shots heading into the final rounds. Winners rarely go back-to-back but Burns is a player to hold form. After winning the Sanderson Farms, Burns put together five straight Top 19s including three Top 7s. He finished 2nd at his first regular Tour stop after winning the Valspar. He profiles perfectly here. He ranks 5th in Birdie or Better, 7th in Par 3: 200-225 Yards, 8th in Putting Average, 12th in Strokes Gained: Approach and 19th in Strokes Gained: Putting.
Mid-Tier Bet
Englishman who is starting to find some of his best. Hatton is one of the finest putters in the world and it is coming together this year where he ranks 2nd in Strokes Gained: Putting and 3rd in Putting Average. While he has not won this season he has four Top 10s and T-13 in the PGA Championship and the Players and Top 40 finishes in all but two starts.
Value Bet
A highly underrated player, Todd has three PGA Tour wins so knows how to get it done. He is finding some form too with a 3rd at Colonial and four Top 25 finishes in his last six starts. Todd ranks Top 6 in Driving Accuracy, Par 3: 200-225 Yards and Strokes Gained: Putting while he leads the field in putting on bentgrass.
Longshot Bet
It has been a long time between drinks for Armour but this is absolutely a course that should suit him. Magnificently accurate, Armour leads the Tour in Driving Accuracy as well as Par 4: 450-500 Yards. While he has not contended this season, he does have four Top 28 finishes from 13 starts.
