I got to party with Sacker this week!!! So much fun. He was in town with his family, I finally got to see him in person. Awesome guy, wife is even more awesome. Had a great podcast, went over hanging out with Sacker...here are the picks this week.
Phil Mickelson ov Justin Rose
Choo Choo!!! All aboard the Phil Mickelson train. Phil looks great. 5th, 2nd and 6th in his last 3 tournaments, and he finished 7th here last year. Is Phil good around the greens? Let’s take a look. 1st in putting on tour in 2018, 2nd in birdie conversion, and he hasn’t missed a putt inside 3 feet all year. His driving is ok, not great, but his driving has never been great. He switched drivers, we made fun of him, but it appears it’s been working. I don’t have anything bad to say about Justin Rose, but he hasn’t played in a month, and finished 38th here last year. This is a play supporting Phil Mickelson and believing that he is in a elite groove right now.
Paul Casey ov Sergio Garcia
I’m not worried about Paul Casey’s 49th place finish at the Genesis Open. It’s the outlier performance. That finish is his worst finish since the Sony Open in 2017!!! He’s a top 15 machine…in fact in the last 13 tournaments he’s played in he’s finished top 15 10 of those times. We’ve talked about it before, but Sergio has a kid on the way, his life is changing, and he’s only played twice this year, 32nd in Dubai, and 33rd at the Honda. Not very impressive. Give me Paul Casey this week.
Pat Perez ov Patrick Reed
I’m sick of not making money betting against Patrick Reed…that stops this week. Patrick Reed is a bit of a mystery. 23rd at the Farmers, and 17th at the Waste Management, but he’s also missed the cut at the Career builder, and he’s missed the cut his last 2 tournaments. Last year he finished 61st here, which is terrible. There’s only 65 guys that play in the tournament. Perez hasn’t been spectacular, but he hasn’t missed a cut this year, and finished 24 spots ahead of Reed here last year.
Brendan Steele ov Kevin Kisner
Cashed a bet going against Kisner last week, I’ll keep betting against him. Something’s not right with him. 50th at the career builder, missed cut at Pebble Beach, and missed cut at the Honda last week. He’s 10 over in his last 2 tournaments, and doesn’t have a round under 70 in his last 6 rounds. Maybe he’s dealing with an injury we don’t know about, his swing is off..something isn’t right with him. Brendan Steele consistent as every, no missed cuts in 2018, mostly solid finishes including a 3rd at the Waste Management. Love the consistent Brendan Steele over 4 rounds compared to Kevin Kisner who’s in a slump.
