Outright Winner Picks
Kevin Kisner - (+3500 on DraftKings Sportsbook) – 1u
It was a tough end of spring for Kis as April through the start of June produced five missed cuts in six events started, but he’s appeared to move past that. Starting with a T6 at the star-studded Travelers at the end of June, Kisner finished T21 at the British Open after carding a 65 Saturday to put himself inside the top 20 ahead of Sunday.
He also comes into the week with some course history here that’s amongst the best in the field. Having started all three events played here, Kisner is three for three in made cuts, with his last two appearances garnering a third (2020) and T8 (2021). In his 12 rounds played here, Kisner’s scoring average is 68.5, and I like for him to find similar success this week.
Currently sitting 32nd in the FedEx Cup rankings, Kisner is approaching the tail end of his playing career on Tour, and a solid performance here would go a long way in his boosting his confidence for the final few weeks of the season.
C.T. Pan (+8000): 0.11u
At 80/1, C.T. Pan is worth taking a shot on to win his second career PGA TOUR event. I believe that this number is more inflated than It should be due to the fact that Pan missed the cut in his one career appearance at this course in 2020.
That being said, this course has only been on TOUR for three seasons and there are many golfers in this field who have just missed one cut here or have never even played at Detroit Golf Club. Additionally, this missed cut does not concern me too much as last year’s Rocket Mortgage Classic Winner, Cameron Davis, missed the cut in each of his previous two appearances at Detroit Golf Club.
Both of the previous winners before Davis – Bryson DeChambeau and Nate Lashley – won in their first appearances at Detroit Golf Club. Another reason why I believe that this number is too inflated is due to the fact that Pan has not won a TOUR event since the 2018-19 season.
However, Pan is an extremely consistent golfer and is almost always a safe bet to make the cut. Over his last 10 tournaments, Pan has made the cut nine times.
When playing in watered-down fields, such as the field this week, Pan has been knocking on the doorstep. We saw this with Pan’s ninth-place finish at The Genesis Invitational and sixth-place finish at the Fortinet Championship.
Since this field is so thin in terms of “top talentâ€, there are only about 10-15 golfers who rank inside the top 100 on TOUR this season in both SG Putting and SG Tee to Green. One of these golfers is Pan, who ranks 81st in SG Putting and 56th in SG Tee to Green.
Pan checks all the boxes for me in terms of possible candidates to win at this course, and at 80/1, it is certainly worth a small wager.
Other Outright Winner Plays to Consider:
- Max Homa (22/1): 0.22u
- Keegan Bradley (33/1): 0.20u
- Adam Hadwin (40/1): 0.18u
- Scott Stallings (50/1): 0.16u
- Matt Kuchar (66/1): 0.13u
