Masters betting: Justin Thomas headlines derivative plays

Masters betting: Justin Thomas headlines derivative plays. The Masters is the first major tournament of 2022. The first three bets are capable of winning.

Justin Thomas is my pick to win the Masters this year. He's a good value at DraftKings Sportsbook. His caddie, Jim "Bones" McKay, is his best friend. He has finished inside the top-25 in all five starts at Augusta National. Thomas has a history of finishing inside top 25 in this tournament.

Matt Fitzpatrick is the second best bet on the Masters. He's only recorded two top-25 finishes in seven Masters starts. Fitzpatrick has good history at Riviera Country Club and has a good placement in my model. He'll finish no worse than 20th. Justin Thomas is also a derivative play.

Sam Burns is a rookie playing in his first Masters. He's ranked third in the statistical model and no worse than 15th in all of the 12, 24 and 50 round models. His caddie Travis Perkins has some experience at Augusta National. He finished third at the 2021 Genesis Invitational and 18th at 2021 Farmers Insurance Open.

Tom Hoge is a rookie at the Masters. He is ranked 6th in his statistical model and 7th overall in the 24-round model. Hoek missed the cut at both the Genesis Invitational and Farmers Insurance Open. His putting surface is his worst. However, he has finished inside the top-40 in 10 of 12 events on the 2022 calendar in which he's made the cuts.
