Dustin just gotta stay out of thrash mode and this should be his.
Sensible and patient could be cosy. Not sure if WGC COURSE though? |

By:
they can keep bringing her doppelgangers into the studio
 i've actually laid DJ..doesn't look too promising as already they're starting to fall away bar Puttnam should win by default but still has a timeform squiggle for me even against 3rd raters |

Looks in thrash mode to me, lashing at everything.

By:
just backed DJ back @ ,laid @ 1.97
Puttnam bit lucky not to go in water,Cink charging but won't 2moro i've always thought DJ is vastly overrated,not playing great but will probably fall over the line more so cos none behind will really grasp the nettle |
|
By:
been impressed with Putnam but wondering if he will be this good on pay day ?
|
|
By:
he'll be paired with DJ,today he wasn't
he did play pretty well and DJ is far from a shoo-in it's down to whether he's intimidated or not if he's got enough self belief & gets out of the traps quickly he can defo put some heat on DJ |
|
By:
Dj, joint leader, 1.5.
Korhonen,leads by 6,1.41.   Though Putnam played well but got 2 very very lucky breaks at least,and holed a couple of real long ones, same as before tonight, Dj plays sensibly keeps it in play think he wins costly. |

A new quiet...
Unless Dj flecks up I'll bet. |

Indeed,dull course.getting a WGC.?Why?
|
|
By:
Some people got their fingers burnt betting Cink without the top 2. 2 bogeys in the last 2 holes.
|
|
By:
Some difference in class between the top 10 in the world and the rest. Dustin just proved that today

Coming up this week.....SAME SHI8E, DIFFERENT YEAR
But an UPGRADED STATUS to a WGC-FedEx event for the first time. .....as we go BACK AGAIN to the familiar TPC Southwind - 22 miles east of Memphis, Tennessee - a 7,250yds, Par 70 which stages the regular-season St. Jude Invitational for the last 30 years. Who’s playing? ... Well 46 of the World's T50 had signed up....excl Tiger, Moliwood, Ticky Fowler & Wiesberger... Presume THE CHAMPION GOLFER OF THE YEAR 60/1 shot SHANE LOWRY is making the plane trip later today ??? Last 5 winners..... 2018 (-19, 261) Dustin Johnson (won it in 2012 & 10/1 fav this week too) 2017 (-10, 270) Daniel Berger 2016 (-13, 267) Daniel Berger 2015 (-13, 267) Fabian Gomez 2014 (-10, 270) Ben Crane A key metric is Par4 scoring (as for all Par70 tracks) and longer, accurate, driving also helps, where course form carries more weight than usual. |

A hint on what to expect can be found in its previous place on the schedule. The St. Jude acted as the warm-up event for the US Open and was set up accordingly. Also note that the last three winners were all ranked in the top five for SG: Off the Tee. Long and straight driving certainly works well here. SG: Tee to Green is clearly a key indicator.
Dustin Johnson: “I just like the golf course. It plays tough. You know, you got to drive it in the fairway and control your ball coming into the greens and, you know, it just seems like every year the scores are never very low here. Xander Schauffele 22/1 makes his course debut, third in the US Open on his previous US start, he already has a WGC win to his name having landed last October's HSBC Champions in China. Ranks in the top 15 for both SG: Off the Tee and Tee to Green this season. |

I hope Xander Shuffler has dropped the dodgy driver

NOT ALL WILL BE SUFFERING FROM JET-LAG like Justin Thomas
Thomas is officially the defending champion this week, but he is happy for Dustin Johnson to claim that title for his own. DJ won the last professional event held at TPC Southwind, a course where Thomas has never played. "I would probably call him the defending champion," Thomas said. "I've never played here in my life and he won the tournament here last year. But I don't think it's going to have any impact on who plays better this week. I'm excited to be here. I haven't gone out on the golf course yet. I'm just trying to get over the jet lag. I woke up at like 4:30 this morning, so I think it will probably take a couple of days to get caught up on sleep." |
