Waste Management Phoenix Open 2021 Betting Card

Alright, well after Adam Scott completely pulled a "putt like shaky Pat at a member guest sans Bloody Mary" on Saturday and Sunday, our hopes of back to back winners was dashed. We're now down 3 units since September. But every week of 2021, we've had an outright in the final 2 groups on Sunday and that means the process is going better than ok!

***ADDED WEDNESDAY*** - No additions (I'd have half the field) and no subtractions from yesterday. I just have a hunch that we're going to have some LONG SHOT's contend here, despite recent winners. Don't forget Brooks Koepka and Kyle Stanley won their first PGA TOUR event here and nobody thought they were worth a damn then. I just want plenty of options come Sunday. By the way...if you fancy yourself a gamble on the European Tour event in Saudi Arabia, I really like Rob MacIntyre at 35/1 and Adri Arnaus at 70/1. Our boy Ash Morrisson has his write up HERE, but those are 2 names I like.

Sungjae back on bermuda at a track where he's gained 14 strokes total in 2 tries...I think I'll have some at 34/1.

Will Zalatoris is the real deal. The win is coming for one of the best young iron players in golf. He's coming off a T7 last week in his first event of 2021. Bombs away. Get him now at 50 as his numbers will be in the Wolff, Hovland, Morikawa territory soon.

Sam Burns could've won the Farmers if not for a total bed shitting session on Sunday. He hits it a mile, loves putting on bermuda, and has been in the last few groups on Sunday a few times now on his way to learning how to win. I don't care about the 2 missed cuts here. He's become a better player over the last 12 months.

Brendan Steele loves this place. Prior to his 2 missed cuts here the last 2 years...he has 4 top 6 finishes and 6 top 25 finishes. He's a bomber that can win in a birdie fest, and he's coming off a strong showing so far in 2021 after a T21 at the AMEX in addition to a near win T4 at the Sony.

Dylan Frittelli is a PGA TOUR winner that's gained a ton of distance since the summer. He putts best on bermuda. He shook the rust off last week at the Farmers with a T53 finish where he gained 3.1 strokes T2G.

Gawd I love Sepp Straka tall, thick, Austrian ass! The University of Georgia has proven to produce winners! Sepp is the next one out of UGA. He hits it a ton, feasts on Par 5 and probably biscuits, and he's a solid putter.

Aaron Wise is shockingly long in this field at 175/1 and I just can't ignore it on a course that rewards his length and affinity for West Coast (ish) events. He putts best on bermuda. He shook the rust off at the AMEX with a MC following his near win T2 at the OHL.

Not sure if you've noticed a theme yet...but I like bombers that can crush these par 5s and hit a ton of GIRs with very little rough off the fairways. Enter Clark, NeSmith, Higgs and Holmes. Clark shot a -10 on Thursday here last year. Higgs finished T25 here in his debut in 2020. NeSmith's hits it a ton, gains strokes on bermuda, and gained nearly 7 shots with his irons at Torrey last week! Do you remember when JB Holmes won on the PGA TOUR at Riviera about 50 weeks ago...Bome! He loves this place! In his 11 attempts here, he's got 2 MCs, 2 top 6s, and 5 top 30s. 400/1 is just dumb.
