BANG! *In Mike Breen’s voice* We did it! Outright win quantity eight and back-to-back weeks with an outright winner!!
Final week’s sweat throughout the Evian Championship, the place Ayaka Furue despatched me on a curler coaster of feelings, is one I’ll always remember. Friday, she was a stone-cold killer till the climate halted play. She couldn’t make a birdie on Saturday as she completed up the second spherical however nonetheless held a three-stroke lead.
Throughout the third spherical, she seemingly misplaced her driver and couldn’t put collectively a spherical adequate to maintain her lead. Then, late Sunday, she was all however out till late-round heroics, topped off by a five-foot eagle on 18, topped her as a significant champion!
Thanks; I’ll gladly take the +2000 win on her!
Like final week, we should put the shot glasses down and shift our focus to this week’s match. There’s extra money to be made!

The Open Championship Greatest Bets
Collin Morikawa to win +2200 | High 20 -110
The 149th Open Championship winner, Collin Morikawa, is one among my favourite bets this week! Not solely has he received a number of majors, however he’s enjoying some loopy spectacular golf proper now. This yr, his worst end at a significant was T14 on the US Open.

Akshay Bhatia to win +12500
Will Akshay Bhatia win? Most definitely not. Nonetheless, at +12500 and in his present type, I’ve to take a stab at him at that value.
Bhatia received the Valero Texas Open again in April and, since then, has proved that it was not only a fluke. He adopted up his win with A T35 at his first Masters. He adopted that up with a T18 on the RBC Heritage.
In his final two begins, he’s completed T5 and T2 with a gross shut name on the Rocket Mortgage, the place he surrendered the lead on 18 after a three-putt.
His recreation, like Morikawa’s, is an effective match right here. He’s correct off the tee, nice on method, and really expert with a wedge in his hand.
After all, we are going to want some luck with him on the correct facet of the climate draw, but it surely’s essential to notice that Bhatia is first in SG: Whole in windy situations (Knowledge through Ron Klos).
