Sanderson Farms Championship field

Akshay Bhatia is the No. 1 choice on the odds board week, thanks to some quality finishes of late. He finished T6 at the FedEx St. Jude, T26 at the BMW, then T13 at East Lake before kicking off the fall with a T11 result at the Procore Championship. 

He's gained strokes on approach in 12 straight starts dating back to May and is available at 20/1 to win this week.

Defending champion Kevin Yu is the second choice. He went 66-66-66-67 to win in a playoff this time last year, but his form leaves something to be desired. He's missed the cut in three of his last four starts and hasn't played competitively since the FedEx St. Jude in early August. 

Rasmus Hojgaard is fresh off a Ryder Cup victory and will look to get back into the form that saw him finish runner-up at the Danish Golf Championship and runner-up at the British Masters. He's available at 30/1.

2022 champion Mackenzie Hughes is further down the board at 35/1 and will be eager to get back into contention after a tough summer. His T7 at the Procore was his first Top-25 finish since the Myrtle Beach Classic back in May.
