Sony Open Picks from SBR's Esten McLaren:

First Click: Sahith Theegala +3500 (bet365)

"Theegala's played just six career competitive rounds at Waialae Country Club with a T-48 finish in 2022 and a missed cut last year. But that's not deterring me as his excellence in the short game should make him a perfect course fit.

Theegala ranks first among all qualified golfers with 0.53 strokes gained: around-the-green per round over the past six months. The 27-year-old California native enters the week at No. 13 in the OWGR and is the third-best golfer in the field by that measure. Yet, he's 10th by the consensus odds."


Best Bet: Kurt Kitayama +4000 (FanDuel)

"Kitayama missed out on the 2024 FedEx Cup partly due to a missed cut in the Wyndham Championship. He returned for the fall swing as one of the most consistent golfers.

He finished T-25 in the Black Desert Championship before a T-9 in the Shriners Children's Open and a fifth-place showing the Zozo Championship. He didn't played last week's Sentry, so I like his rest advantage against those who've been in Hawaii for two-plus weeks.

Kitayama played this tournament each of the past three years and improved his finish each year, leading to a T-24 a year ago. His strong short game and iron play make him an excellent course fit."
