After most of the big names of the PGA Tour took last week off to recover from their trip to Scotland, many of them are back on the course this week for the Rocket Mortgage Classic at the Detroit Golf Club.
Last week at the TPC Twin Cities, Tony Finau became just the third betting favorite to win a tournament this year, and he did it with a great comeback in the final round. He trailed by five strokes after 54 holes but ended up winning by four strokes after 72 holes.
Favorite to Win Rocket Mortgage Classic
- Patrick Cantlay (+1000)
- Tony Finau (+1400)
- Will Zalatoris (+1600)
- Cameron Young (+2000)
- Max Homa (+2500)
- Cam Davis (+3300)
- Keegan Bradley (+3300)
- Adam Hadwin (+4000)
- Adam Scott (+4000)
- Cameron Tringale (+4000)
- Seven others at (+4000)
Patrick Cantlay sits as the pre-tournament favorite, paying +1000. Since missing the cut at the PGA, he has been on a tear, even if it’s come without a win. He was T3 at the Memorial, T14 at the U.S. Open, T4 at the Scottish Open, and T8 at The Open Championship two weeks ago.
The aforementioned Tony Finau, coming off last week’s win, has a game made for the Detroit Golf Club. He did struggle here in 2020, but his driving accuracy should have him shooting one of the lower numbers for the weekend. To go along with last week’s win, he had a second-place finish at the Canadian Open in June.
And it seems like every week we say that this can be the tournament where Will Zalatoris finally gets his win. Well, wash, rinse, repeat. He has eight top-10s in 2022, he has three runner-ups at major championships, and he’s now ranked 13th in the world. Surely that elusive first win is just around the corner.
Top Value Plays for Rocket Mortgage Classic
One of the several players at +4000 is Davis Riley, who missed the cut last week in Minnesota but should be in the mix in Michigan. He was fifth at the Mexico Open, T9 at the Byron Nelson, and T4 at the Charles Schwab.
Cameron Champ, at +6000, broke his missed cuts streak with a T16 in Minnesota. He also had a T6 at the Mexico Open and T10 at a little event called the Masters. He’s big off the tee and is a good fit for the course in Detroit, as evidenced by his 12th place finish and final round 66 in 2020.
