The PGA TOUR travels to Detroit Golf Club (par 72, 7,370 yards, bentgrass/POA annua greens) for the Rocket Classic this week. There will be 156 golfers teeing it up and a top-65 and ties cut after the first two rounds.
DraftKings Sportsbook offers O/U bets for golfer’s tournament finishing positions and below, I have featured one of my favorite bets for this market for the Rocket Classic.
Harry Hall Under 33.5 Finishing Position (-120)
Hall finished T31st at last year’s Rocket Classic and the Englishman should be in store for an even better finish this week. Hall is playing the best golf of his career this season. The 27-year-old has made 15-of-18 cuts with eight top-25 finishes and he sits at a career-best No.74 in the world golf rankings. Hall has finished under 33.5 place in seven of his last eight starts, including a T9 at the Travelers Championship last week, which was a Signature Event that featured the PGA TOUR’s top players competing for a $20 million purse.
Hall faces a much weaker field in Detroit this week and he has a real chance to contend. Hall ranks 12th in total strokes gained this season and he has gained strokes on approach and with his putter at five straight tournaments, while shooting under par in 16 of his 20 rounds during this stretch. Hall ranks ninth in par five performance this season, making him a perfect match for a traditional par 72 in Detroit Golf Club, where four of the last five winners have finished the event top-five in par five efficiency. Hall’s O/U for finishing position should have been around 20th place, and he is a must-bet for under 33.5 place at these -120 odds.
