TPC River Highlands is a course in which bomb-and-gouge will work, he was T-6th last year, T-8th in 2019, and T-9th in 2018. Forget what happened on the back nine at Torrey Pines on Sunday. This course is perfect for Bryson who has won three times since he last played it.
Kevin Streelman
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |

Paul Casey
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |

T-7th at River Highlands in 2014, the course is good for his game. Was 3rd at Torrey Pines, his game improved every day, was T-14th at Palmetto Championship.

Yes it’s safe to bet on Rickie this week, feel his slump has peaked and his game will start to improve. Hasn’t played in this event since he was T-13th in 2013.

Looks like his knee injury is doing better, didn’t show any signs of problems or inability to do normal things again. Played very well at Torrey Pines. He must be feeling better to play this week, look for him to play well.
Solid contenders

Another course he has had success on, won in 1997 and 2008. Was T-2nd in 2018. His game is humming along, has made the cut in his last seven starts, won two months ago at Hilton Head. Keys to his good play improved putting the reason for two wins in nine months.

Course is perfect for his game and style of attack. The big question, if he won last year can he repeat? Of course, he can. He says that his game is close, we will see this week. His T-19th at the U.S. Open wasn’t bad.
Patrick Reed

Course should be good for his game, surprised he only has one top-ten, T-5th in 2017. Been knocking on the door of some good play, 5th at Memorial and T-19th at U.S. Open.

T24 | CUT |
Was back to back winner in 2001 and 2002, so anything is possible. Still on a high after his PGA Championship win, as long as the confidence last we will seriously consider him.
Long shots that could come through:
Bubba Watson

Loves this course, has won the Travelers three times, and was runner-up once. His year has seen some good moments, was T-4th at Zozo Championship and T-9th at the Match Play, he still has some of the old energy

Was T-11th last year in his only start at Travelers. His game has been on an upswing, was T-2nd at Palmetto Championship.

Likes playing the event, was T-2nd in 2019, T-8th in 2017. His game has been up and down, was runner-up at Valspar, but missed cut at Memorial.
Had Rahm at Memorial….was allowed to use him again after our Commish put a poll on our sight to decide if we could use him again after his Covid forced WD and vote came thru to use him again by 1 vote. After losing Rahms winning dollars from Columbus, OH I picked him again at US Open and have moved into 5th place and can use him again. Not usually PC….I am going PC / PC this week at TPC River Highlands: Cantlay and Casey. Are you or other American media members able to go to The Open Championship this year at Royal St. Georges?
Glad your pool allowed you not to lose out on Rahm. The big pool I am in wasn’t as kind so players that had Rahm not only lost his pick, but had to pay $20 because he didn’t get into the money.
As for the British Open, I had decided back at the beginning of the year I wasn’t going because of all the travel restrictions. I guess things have gotten better, but I don’t think I would have gotten credentials from the R&A to attend. Show you how restrictive they are getting, NBC couldn’t get their crew in so they are going to do the show from their studios in Connecticut. They are going to take the world feed and add stuff to that, they will have a few cameras to cut around, but it will be the world feed. I think the only one’s going are the on grounds announcers, plus whoever does the interviews, guys like Hicks and Azinger will be in Connecticut. It’s a shame but have to do it that way.
Hey boys. I have to pick one of these 3 players for a one and done. Anser (current form), Streelman (current form and Traveler success), Bubba. Suggestions?
Of the three I’d go with Cantlay!
Ok, Anzer
Mark R. I worry about Bubba, he is so good on this course and has shown signs of brilliance in 2021. But at the end of the day, you just can’t course on him. Other than the team event which I give very little credence to, he was T-9th in the Match Play and T-4th at Zozo nine months ago. Again look what he did at Torrey Pines, 72.67 and then 77-76. Just can’t count on him, but he could play well. I think a good finish for Bubba is like 12th to 15th. The three guys I like the most are Harris English, Scottie Scheffler and you mentioned Kevin Streelman. If Streelman is available to you, grab him.
James, Cantlay is a good pick.
How about that Bubba implosion. Yikes!
Have to say that Bubba has seen the best part of golf and he is just waiting for 2028 when he turns 50.
