    Arnold Palmer Invitational...

    We now turn to the 2nd event of the "Florida Swing" at Bay Hill, a long, watery par 72 that will favor the stronger players off the tee box, but also will require some precise iron play after bombing it off the tee. Looking at the somewhat short field, for a PGA Tour event anyway, I've gathered three players who I think the course fits, or they have been playing well going into this event, here they are:

    Scottie Scheffler +1400 He has shown up bigly this year. Won a playoff in AZ already and has very strong iron play which is what Bay Hill demands. He's literally a proto type that fits the course with his style of play and with the way he's playing, I can't imagine him not being in the hunt come Sunday afternoon.

    Viktor Hovland +1600 He has a very similar style to Scheffler, though I don't think he putts as well, he is a little longer off the tee which will give him short iron to most of these greens provided his ball is in the short stuff. I see him getting the ball within 10 feet on his approach shots which will help him gather some birdies along the way.

    Will Zalatoris +2500 I can't bring myself to not take a shot at this guy at this price. Another great iron player, however, he can't putt to save his life. I'm just firing on him in hopes he can at least make a few long putts for some confidence and maybe something great happens. If he does, it will be a decent payday at the sports book.

    So there they are. Haven't brought one home yet this year, but been close and it's still early in the year. Matchup plays have been good, so, as usual, I'll be posting those throughout the week.

    Have fun, enjoy the golf!

    I like your plays this week I'm also on Willy Z both in DFS and at +2500. Here is my card:

    Rory Mcilroy +1300
    Rory Mcilroy +275 top 5
    Sungjae Im +2800
    Will Zalatoris +2500

    I know Rory hasn't been in the greatest form but he kills it here and pops in all the key stats. We'll see if that translates to this week's tournament. As for Sungjae he burned me last week big time especially in DFS but I think it wouldn't be surprising if he bounces back here and is in contention on the weekend so I took a stab on him.

    Win with Bradley. Cancelled wager with Hatton since Day did not play due to his mother passing.

    So one of our boys Hovland has the lead. Let's hope he finishes.

    Round matchup play got home.

    Could be an awesome week.

    Don't know about that. Great iron player, ok off the tee and putting. It's all about gaining strokes and getting on a roll.

    Looking golden right now, both Hovland and Scheffler on top of the leaderboard. It would take a serious bad beat to lose this.
