Young Mired in a Funk

From last year’s Scottish Open up until this year’s PGA Championship, Young didn’t miss a cut. That streak came crashing to a halt at Oak Hill, which was followed up by another trunk slamming performance at the Memorial.

He managed to make the weekend at the RBC Canadian Open, but his 57th place finish doesn’t inspire much confidence heading to LACC.

Young’s issues are two-fold, and to two incredibly important aspects of his game. Right now he can’t hit his irons, and the putting issues that have plagued him since he came on Tour seem to be getting worse.

The 27-year-old has lost strokes on the greens in nine of his past 12 starts, dropping an average of 2.5 strokes to the field in that area per tournament. He’s lost a combined 10.6 shots on the green in his last three starts alone, and you’re going to be bleeding strokes back if you can’t make the bulk of your par putts this week.

As for his irons, he’s lost a combined 4.7 strokes on approach over his past four tournaments, including 2.8 shots last week in Toronto.

To make matters worse, he’s never made a cut at the US Open, trunk slamming in three consecutive years, while losing 7.48 total strokes to field.

Pick: Cameron Young to Miss Cut (+130)

Make the Cut Parlay

Shifting gears to the make the cut market now, where we’ve cooked up a +287, four-leg parlay. The wager features our four favorite players to make the weekend, while trying to be price sensitive.

It starts with Dustin Johnson, the 2016 US Open champ, who’s missed only one cut at this event since 2012, with seven top-25 results. He’s gained the third most strokes at Major Championship tournaments since 2018, behind only Koepka and Scheffler.

Just behind DJ in that category are Justin Rose and Patrick Reed, who rank 8th and 10th respectively. Rose ranks fifth in the field in strokes gained approach and 10th in scoring over the past 24 rounds, while Reed shines brightest on the big stage.

He’s made the cut in 14 of his past 15 Majors, finishing fourth at the Masters in April, and 18th at the PGA Championship last month.

Last, but not least, we’ll add Shane Lowry to the mix. He ranks seventh in total strokes gained at Majors since 2018, with three straight top-21 finishes at Major Championship events.

Pick: Make the Cut Parlay (+287)
