Web.com Tour Championship

The Web.com season comes to its conclusion at a new course this year, the Atlantic Beach Country Club in Jacksonville, Florida. This is the final opportunity for players to secure their PGA Tour card and many will be going guns blazing this week. Being a new course I have been forced to source the following from the PGA Tour site:

'Atlantic Beach isn’t an overly long course, but with a ton of water in play and tricky landing areas off the tee, someone with accuracy – but with a penchant to go low – will likely emerge victorious come Sunday afternoon.'

As a result, my picks are as follows:

Bryson DeChambeau - 1pt e/w @  45/1 - A superstar in the makin, it is hard to ignore this guy at 45/1 despite his last two appearances resulting in missed cuts. We can forgive him for this as he did win his first title at the DAP Championship and I think he will be ready to fire again. He is accurate, and a deft touch around the greens so should be suited to Atlantic Beach. 

Austin Cook - 0.5pts e/w @ 100/1 - A great young player with a bright future, Cook recorded three top 10s on the Web.com but should have probably performed better given his talent. The thing that draws me to him this week is the fact that he ranks 7th in Driving Accuracy, 10th in Total Driving, 10th in Ball Striking, 22nd in GIR and 46th in Putting Average. He has the game to fit this course and will be desperate to play on the PGA Tour after having tastes in the past.   

Sam Saunders - 0.5pts e/w @ 100/1 -  Arnold Palmer's grandson will be wanting to put in a good show this week as a tribute to the legend that was. He is a good, solid player who can boast two top 10s on the PGA this year. He was third in this competition last year, albeit on a different course. He is a Florida native and will have a lot of support.

Sebastian Cappelen - 0.25pts e/w @ 150/1 - A player who showed so much promise a couple of years back but has struggled to deliver. This year he has been pretty consistent without being amazing and sits 80th on the money list and therefore is not making the main tour as it stands. This is pretty much a home game for him as he lives in Jacksonville so he should know the course, feel at home and have some support. He also sits 4th in Putting Average for the year which will hold him in good stead.    

Total - 4.5pts
