Race To FedExCup Heads To Conway Farms For BMW Championship.
BMW Championship odds, picks to win and FedExCup predictions.
BMW Championship September 14-17
Conway Farms - Lake Forest, IL Purse 8,750,000
Defending Champion - Dustin Johnson
After being played last year at Crooked Stick in Carmel, Indiana the PGA tour we resume the chase for the FedExCup at the BMW Championship Thursday at Conway Farms in Lake Forest, Illinois. All the usual suspects are up at the top of the standings but over these last 2 tournaments of the season any number of guys outside the top 10 can come from behind and win the FedExCup and an extra 10 million dollars. If this were a normal tour event we would most certainly have a small wager on long shot players like Luke Donald who is the only tour member who plays regularly at Conway Farms as its his home course and he is a member, and also we would have a small wager Jim Furyk who has the course record after shooting a 59 there in 2013. This week were back at it after making money again with our Dell Technologies Championship lineup. As usual all of out golf predictions will fit into a cap fantasy lineup as well as the picks and the players individual Las Vegas odds to win . Good luck and hit em’ straight!!
FAVORITES
1- Rickie Fowler (12-1) - Rickie Fowler's had a great year making 18 of 20 cuts and he has got a tremendous 69.9 scoring average. Fowler is looking for his second win of the season after taking nine top tens. Rickie Fowler is ranked 6th in the FedEx cup rankings and 10th and the official world golf rankings. Rickie has to get over the hump and win another tournament soon if he wants to still be mentioned in same breath as his buddies. We know Rickie has got the heart, now can he not take a big number along way and play good enough on a Sunday? We think he can so at 12 to1 odds we will take Rickie.
2 - Patrick Reed (28-1) - Patrick Reed is the kind of player could win on any course on any given week yet he has no wins this year he has only four top tens. Patrick Reed is carrying a 70.3 scoring average into the Dell Championship and is a machine as he plays every single week. Reed has made 22 of 27 cuts and is the number 22 player in the FedEx cup ranking and number 19 in the world. This guy is a fiery competitor and can get on a hot streak at any time so lets hope that time is now with the big money on the line. We like Reeds odds at 28 to 1.
SLEEPERS
3 - Marc Leishman (40-1) - Mark Leishman is also looking for his second win of the season. He is the number 7 player in the FedEx cup rankings and is number 22 on the official world golf rankings. Leishman carries a 70.1 scoring average into the BMW with six top tens and is playing his best golf of the season right now. His putting has been tremendous and if that carries over will be in contention come Sunday afternoon in Chicago. We feel good about backing Leishman at 40 to 1 odds.
4 - Louis Oosthuizen (45-1) - Louis Oosthuizen is the number 24th player in the FedEx cup ranking in the number 20th player on the official world golf ranking. Louis has made 14 to 15 cuts this year and is carrying a 70.7 scoring average into the BMW Championship. Oosthuizen has four top tens this year with no wins but we feel that he is going to make a charge these next two weeks because he always performs well on the biggest stages when the most is on the line. He also played very well at the Dell two weeks ago in Boston and at 45 to 1 odds were backing Louie.
LONG SHOTS
5 - Charley Hoffman (70-1) - Charlie Hoffman has made 21 of 25 cuts this season, has four top tens and is looking for his second win of the season. Charlie Hoffman is number 12 on the FedEx cup rankings and number 23 in the official world golf rankings and for someone publicly states that he is tired of taking second, really needs to close the deal one Sunday and win again and we believe Hoffman at 70-1 odds is a good pick.
6 - Kevin Kisner (100-1) - Kevin Kisner has been playing good golf as he has taken seven top tens and is looking for his second win of the season. Kevin Kisner carries 70.5 scoring average into the BMW championship and is the number 14 player on the FedEx cup rankings in the 25 in official world golf rankings and at 100 to 1 long shot we backing Kevin Kisner.
