---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T7 | T3 |
Played great at the Masters, seems to love Harbour Town as he is 20 under in eight rounds, can’t see him getting beat this week.
Bryson DeChambeau

Playing in the event for a second straight year, yes he is a local South Carolina boy but he should save his energy on a course he is better suited on.
