Farmers Insurance Open

2019/20 Season: 22-17-2 (+6.62U)

Farmers Insurance Open 72-Hole Matchups:

Marc Leishman (-129) over Jordan Spieth - 2U

- This line on the rise but Torrey is a ball striker's course and gives a big edge to Leish tee-to-green. Spieth's putter would have to be red-hot for him to contend here, as it's tough to spray it and scramble your way around.

Sepp Straka (+111) over Sebastian Munoz - 1U

- Munoz burned me last week, but going back to the well here as Strokes Gained Off the Tee and Approach the Green both favor Straka, who finished 13th last year in his first appearance. Munoz 54th and 72nd in his 2 starts.

Sungjae Im (+107) over Patrick Reed - 1U

- Never like going against Reed and the matchup grades out fairly evenly, but anytime you can get Sungjae at plus money, it's hard to turn down. He is a machine and knocking on the door for his first win any time now.

Keegan Bradley (-132) over Phil Mickelson - 1U

- Price a little higher than I would like to lay, but Phil's glory years here are 10+ years ago. In reality, Keegan is the better player now and has two top 5's in the last 3 years at Torrey.

Gary Woodland (-106) over Rickie Fowler - 0.5U

Tony Finau (+100) over Rickie Fowler - 0.5U

- Splitting a fade on Fowler into two bets, as I couldn't decide which one was better. Both Woodland and Finau are elite tee-to-green, and top-level putting isn't necessarily required here. Fowler coming in deflated after final round dud at American Express and strangely poor L6 starts here (MC-61-MC-MC-MC-66).

Nice card. Really like the two on the list. Good luck with your plays

English-72/1

I like the Gooch play, one I was looking at and just missed the list. Would lean Palmer as well.

Good luck this week.
