2022 BMW Championship: Picks
Collin Morikawa ($9,400)
Wilmington Country Club is a great unknown to a lot of us. The bentgrass greens are gigantic, the fairways look thin, and there are bunkers everywhere. So, either the bombers are going to gauge the place to death or the more accuracy-based drivers with fire irons are going to win, much like we saw in years gone by at Firestone. Morikawa is the hedge on all types. He flipped the switch last week and the driver and irons returned. If he can build off that, we know he’s always been at his best on bentgrass greens, and the price is right for an elite talent.

Cameron Young ($8,900)
It’s strange when a less than great can be encouraging for a player. That’s what happened to Cam Young in Memphis, though. Near the tops in the field in driving and irons, the putter went frigid. That happens to him from time to time, but he’s usually solid on either side of the pendulum: Extremely good or hilariously bad. And it never seems to be sticky. At a course with massive greens, ala St. Andrews, if Young can recapture his lag putting strokes, he can go full Will Zalatoris and notch that long-awaited win.
