4th October 2020
-14 Davis
-14 Poston
-14 Garcia
-13 Ventura
-13 Snedekar
Keegan Bradley's one over par 73 has let a lot of players back in and we seem set for a Sunday shootout. Cameron Davis' 63 showed exactly what's possible and if we are assuming -20 is a reasonable target anyone as far back as -10 shouldn't be discounted.
You could make a case for any of the top five but at the same time there is reason for doubt also. Garcia and Snedekar are proven winners although neither has won on the PGA Tour for a couple of years. J.T. Poston won the Wyndham Championship last year in impressive fashion but has not done much since.
Cameron Davis has a Korn Ferry Tour and an Australian Open victory to his name and, like Ventura, fits the profile of the winners of this event - a first time winner who has recently graduated from the KFT.
Given the way the leaderboard changed yesterday it is possible we will see a similar movement again. Wise, McCarthy and Bradley are all capable of making a charge from -12 but it is Tyler Mccumber who gets our attention at -11.

Sunday's Bets
Tyler has progressively improved with rounds of 70, 69, 66 and it is only really his putter that has stopped him from being closer to the lead. He ranks 5th SG: Off the tee and 6th SG: approach the green this week - two stats we identified that winners here all do well in.
He showed last week he is not scared to win after a final round 66 to place 2nd, only losing out to a strong finish by Hudson Swafford. Add in the fact he won three times in four weeks on the Canadian Tour in 2018 and this is a guy who can hold form and is a serious danger when he gains momentum.

-10 Daffue
-9 McCarthy
-9 Ventura
Keegan Bradley has taken charge at the Sandersons Farm Championship and has also taken bookmaker favouritism at 7/2. Keegan's played nicely so far, ranking in the top 12 for Strokes Gained: Approach and SG: Off The Tee. Perhaps most surprisingly he ranks 2nd in SG: Putting, a category we'd not normally associate him with.
Keegan was glowing about his game, the course and the Bermuda greens when interviewed after his round. Indeed he stated that, "things are clicking right now, and I love the course and everything about it." Tellingly, he also suggested his putting hadn't felt as good since the last time he won at Aronimink.
The case against Keegan rests with his record when leading. He only has a 3 ⭐ Golf Betting Club Pressure Performance Rating and has yet to win on the PGA Tour when in front. Despite his confidence on the greens, we struggle to see him maintaining his putting stats over the weekend. At the price, he's not one to back with two rounds to go.
Whilst a couple of winners have converted here from halfway (Armour and Champ), we've also seen players come from five and six back. We could well see someone from the pack emerge with a hot putter.
Those of you who backed our Six to Watch are in a good position as you have three players in the top five (including ties). Denny McCarthy, Kristoffer Ventura and J.T Poston go into the weekend with good chances.

Saturday's Bets
At first glance it might seem odd selecting a player who hasn't had a top 5 finish since 2018 but there are reasons to think Peter could sneak up the leaderboard. He was six shots behind at the halfway stage when he won in 2015 so can draw on those memories. He's also putting well again this week, ranking 11th SG: Putting. At triple figure odds he's worth an each way play. Make sure you take the five each way places on offer rather than the four.
MJ is a speculative play but we can't resist having a point on him for several reasons. Firstly, his son was born six weeks ago so he possesses the Nappy Factor (Keith Elliott's idea that a golfer's performance is boosted due to a new birth). MJ, 31, has struggled with personal issues for a few years but has overcome these and is now showing some form. It should be noted that he started well at the Safeway Open a few weeks ago before tanking over the weekend. That said, he's a prolific Monday qualifier (as he did this week), having been involved in several playoffs to capture those spots. Let's not forget we've seen some rank outsiders win here so it's worth a small investment.
