You can basically cut and paste everything I said about Matt Wallace above for my fade on Charley Hoffman. Either way, he’s a core guy for me in the second round for matchups and DFS. I’ll take a stab at what seems like an overpriced number on BetMGM where he’s listed +25000 - triple digits more than the rest of the market. If his irons bounce back and he can get the putter hot, he could put a low score together in the morning during Round 2. Gotterup is someone who has recently shown us he has the ability to put scores together in bunches and he’s coming off a week where he gained 4.7 shots on approach at the 3M. In fact, a late drive to inside of five feet on the 371-yard par-4 8th (not a typo) and the subsequent kick-in eagle is the reason he is just six shots back. He lost strokes to the field on approach and on the greens on Thursday as he relied almost entirely on his game off the tee to get in at 2-under. Now, forget everything I said about the those two as I’m going to take a flyer on what has become a bit of a recent PGA darling in Chris Gotterup. I’m skeptical he can still win at this stage, but at +10000 at PointsBet he’s worth a sprinkle, along with some placement bets. That’s why I’m looking at him for a buy going into Friday. He managed a 3-under opening round, despite losing strokes to the field with his typically reliable putter. The more positive sign for him on Thursday was his approach play that gained 3.15 shots on the field with his irons. We can usually rely on a strong putter from him, as even in a down year he still ranks 8th in SG: Putting. 3 Golfers to Buy in Round 2Īnother player showing some good form to open the week is Matt Kuchar. Likewise, players with high SG: Putting numbers may regress moving forward. You can often find live-betting advantages by identifying golfers who are hitting the ball well, but are just not getting putts to drop. In general, SG: Ball Striking and SG: Tee-to-Green are the most stable long term, while putting is more prone to volatility.
