Prior to that, it held Korn Ferry Tour events in 2012 and 2013, and a senior major championship in 2010. It also hosted the PGA Tour\u2019s Kemper Open\/FBR Capital Open\/Booz Allen Classic from 1987 to 2004, then again in 2006 for a final time.<\/p>\n<p>We can debate how helpful that previous intel will be for a course that has changed over the years, but here\u2019s what we do know: At 7,160 yards, it ranks on the short end of the PGA Tour host spectrum, though it is a par-70, with only two par-5 holes on the course.<\/p>\n<p>Played on bentgrass greens, this is as \u201cNortheast\u201d as we\u2019ll get until the U.S. Open\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Travel<\/a>ers Championship double next month.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.bettercollective.rocks\/archives\/73\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" class=\"betting-iframe\"><br \/>\n<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Oh \u2014 and good luck trying to predict a score this week. In 2017, Kyle Stanley won a playoff after finishing at 7-under. The next year, the winning total was 21-under, though Francesco Molinari blitzed the field, winning by eight.<\/p>\n<p>If there\u2019s a common bond, it\u2019s that at their best, Stanley and Molinari were two deadly accurate iron players who could carve up a course.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, let\u2019s get to this week\u2019s plays, led by a world-class ball-striker who\u2019s trending in the right direction.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Outright_Winner\"><\/span>Outright Winner<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Corey Conners (20\/1):<\/strong> I\u2019ll get this out of the way right off the bat: I don\u2019t love the number. No, that\u2019s not quite right. I hate it. Abhor it. Wish it was bigger, needed it to be bigger.<\/p>\n<p>In a field with a half-dozen players ranked inside the top 26 of the Official World Golf Ranking, taking the guy ranked 31st who\u2019s priced ahead of all of  them except one feels overvalued \u2014 especially considering that player owns just one career victory.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Corey-Conners.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Corey Conners\" class=\"wp-image-22130233\"\/><figcaption>Corey Conners<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>All of this leads to the great existential crisis that golf bettors face on a regular basis: Should I simply bet the player whom I most like to win the tournament, or chase a bigger price with better value?<\/p>\n<p>If the latter, then I like going with an admittedly struggling Webb Simpson (50\/1). For the former, though, I\u2019ll stick with Conners, whose short number makes sense, considering he\u2019s finished top 12 in four of his past six starts.<\/p>\n<p>In the last two of those \u2014 the RBC Heritage and The Masters \u2014 Conners finished positive Strokes Gained: Putting for the week. This essentially confirms what we\u2019ve always known about one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>\u2019s better ball-strikers: If he rolls it just above average, then he will get himself into contention.<\/p>\n<p>The good <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> is that unless you\u2019re writing a preview column with just a lone favorite outright play, you can bet both your favorite player to win and some value plays. So, this really shouldn\u2019t be an either\/or situation.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n<h2 id=\"block-64a968e4-a4d2-494f-a0ec-d0b865dd0ab3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_out_the_best_sports_betting_sites_and_apps\"><\/span>Check out the best sports betting sites and apps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator aligncenter is-style-wide\"\/>\n<p>I still wish we could find Conners maybe 5-10 points higher \u2014 and we should thoughtfully consider the strategy of hoping for a potential lackluster opening front-nine on Thursday, then jumping on a better live number.<\/p>\n<p>For now, I\u2019m going to stick with the guy I liked before the odds were released, despite really hating those eventual odds.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top-5_Finish\"><\/span>Top-5 Finish<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Troy Merritt (12\/1):<\/strong> One of my favorite plays on the board this week, I\u2019ll have Merritt in a few different bets and platforms. He was T17 at the Quicken Loans on this course four years ago, won not too far away at RTJ back in 2015 and owns some nice recent form, with a T12 at the RBC Heritage and T4 at the Valero Texas Open in his last two starts.<\/p>\n<p>The 36-year-old isn\u2019t usually a guy who excites us too much in the marketplace, but there are plenty of signs that he\u2019s trending in the right direction. In addition to those aforementioned results, he ranks in the top-half of the PGA TOUR in Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee, inside the top-third for <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roach shots and inside the top-25 putting.<\/p>\n<p>If there\u2019s a major weakness, it\u2019s less in anything technical and more in his round-by-round scoring; though he\u2019s 64th or better in R1, R2 and R3 scoring average, he ranks 152nd in final-round average.<\/p>\n<p>Those recent strong finishes have included final-round totals of 68 and 69, though, so perhaps there\u2019s reason to believe the two-time winner can climb the Sunday board once again.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
