Golf now turns to the desert and I could not make a decision on who to play. I read this article and went with it hoping this guy is right. I did play him top 20, instead of top 10.
Best of luck if you fire, it would be a great hit.
Sahith Theegala — Top 10 (+1800)
I very nearly swung for the fences and made this 250/1 longshot my favorite outright play this week. Instead, I’ll hedge just a bit and list Theegala for a top-10, but I obviously don’t mind a shot on him at that massive outright price, as well.
An all-everything collegiate player at Pepperdine — he won the Haskins, Hogan and Nicklaus awards — the California native is on the verge of big things at the professional level and history suggests it could happen here in his home state.
We won’t be able to get him at these current odds for much longer; I was worried that an opening 65 at last week’s Sony Open would hurt his number for this week, but three subsequent rounds of “only” 69 left him in a share of 48th and left his price untouched.
I strongly encourage a play on him in some form until the books finally realize his impending potential – and at an event which has seen a winner from 200/1 and three others listed only as field bets over the past decade, this feels like the right place to play a big number.
Best of luck if you fire, it would be a great hit.
