Bamford Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Copperhead is a brute of a course, and it may well play firm and fast after a very dry build-up. Key skills for me look like it will come down to minimising mistakes, scrambling, par-5 scoring (remember Copperhead has 4 par-5s despite being a par 71) and a very hot putter. All kinds can win here, but the winner here has putted at sub 1.7 putts per GIR 6 of the past 7 renewals. That is likely to be quite stretching for many of the pure ball-strikers in the field.So I'm backing for the following players, all of whom have been putting well of late - Justin Thomas (11/1) on his last stroke play outing pre-Augusta; Ryan Moore (28/1), Jason Dufner (50/1), Wesley Bryan (55/1) and Martin Laird (80/1).
