This week’s tournament brings the tour to Jack’s place, Muirfield Village Golf Course, where Nicklaus is the top dog.
Patrick Cantlay +1700 The defending champion – although with an asterisk thanks to third-round leader Jon Rahm being forced out of the event due to Covid – Cantlay seems to enjoy this course, having also won the tournament in 2019.
All of this is great but take notice that he might just be using the Memorial as a tune-up for a defence of his RBC Canadian Open title a week ago.
Cameron Young +280 You likely noticed Young almost winning the PGA Championship a couple of weeks back but did you know that in his last three starts, he’s finished third, second and third? Young has had a very solid year with eight top-25 finishes in 17 starts.
He’s good into the greens, sitting in 18th spot in Strokes Gained: Approach the Greens and his putter has been working of late, especially at Wells Fargo where he won the tournament and was fourth in Strokes Gained: Putting.
He’s actually showing signs of life, finishing on the positive side of the ledger in Strokes Gained: Off The Tee in three of his last four tournaments.
Scott has shot 68 or lower in four of his last eight rounds here In 2019 he finished second and was tied for 16th a year ago.
