Cash the ticket! A week after hitting Hideki Matsuyama at 70/1 for one of our sleeper picks at the Genesis Invitational, Jake Knapp holds on to win the Mexico Open. You love to see it. Let’s get another one this week.
The reigning PGA Tour Rookie of the Year has come close to winning his first tournament on several occasions over the last year.
One example is a runner-up finish at PGA National last March.
More recently, Cole has two top-15 finishes in his last two starts, including a T-10 at the Genesis Invitational.
Lowry hasn’t had a great start to 2023 with just one top-25 finish in three starts. However, he loves PGA National.
He’s 6-for-6 making it to the weekend and has finished second and T-5 the last two years.
Berger is starting to find is footing on the golf course again after a long break due to injury. He has made two out of three cuts and most recently tied for 28th at the WM Phoenix Open.
He feels right at home at PGA National, finishing fourth in his last two appearances (2020, 2022).
Jaeger has played some great golf in 2023. He has made the cut in all five starts and has tied for third twice (Farmers Insurance Open and last week’s Mexico Open).
He has improved his finish at PGA National every year: MC (2018), T-78 (2019), T-48 (2022) and T-14 (2023).
