The Memorial Tournament

[Fader]

The Memorial gets underway tomorrow. One of my favourite events this one. Much like an Open feel to it. I would imagine the winner here is a big player. I can't see a big price winning here and reflected on that is my picks. I'm on Cantlay and Woods. Cantlay after hitting that -7 on the final round last week has kept me on side, and Woods can't be 25/1 that's too big. 

I can't see the likes of Thomas winning after that scarring last week. I can't see Morikawa keeping up that form. I'm taking Webb as my third as his price is also far too big. Woodland is another with momentum coming into this and Ancer I have to follow after getting so close with him.

The others are big priced each-way picks and in my mind I'm thinking each-way placings is the best we're gonna find there but you never know.

Love the picks! Thank you for sharing. Definitely agree that Thomas and Morikawa would be players to avoid this week after the drama that unfolded last Sunday. Definitely hard to predict this field, much deeper than we've seen in recent weeks. 

I'm right there with you on Cantlay. Between his previous performance at this course and how he closed out last week, there's so much to like there. I grabbed him at 14/1 as well, with small plays on Jon Rahm (22/1) after his -8 on Sunday and Xander Shauffele to win (28/1). Staking just .25 on each since I don't much enjoy betting on outright winners. 

Would also agree that each way/finishing position bets are the way to go this week. Here are some others I like based off key stats and past performance at Muirfield (apologies for listing the odds the American way):

 

Xander Schauffele Top 20 Finish (+125) 2 units

Patrick Cantlay Top 20 Finish (+100) 2 units

Jason Day Top 40 Finish (+100) 1 unit

Rickie Fowler Top 30 Finish (+110) 1 unit

Tony Finau Top 30 Finish (+125) 1 unit

Justin Rose Top 40 Finish (-120) 1 unit --- Even after last week's disaster, Rosie's history here is too good for me to pass on. 

 

Best of luck to all those getting in on the action at the Memorial this week!
