Favour Golf Tips

JJ Spaun has shown great early-round form recently and often starts fast on demanding layouts. His accurate iron play fits TPC Southwind well, giving him a solid chance to shoot a low opening score and lead after Thursday.

I can see Nico Echavarria taking a longshot to lead after Thursday. Take a look. He recently fired a scorching 63 in his opening round at the Wyndham Championship, showing how fast he can start. He also has sharp putting on fast Bermuda grass greens.

Filippo Celli recently tied for fifteenth place at the Corales Puntacana Championship, which proves his ball striking is locked in right now. He also handles windy coastal courses well. I believe he has a solid chance to surprise everyone.

Jacob Skov Olesen is an exciting local pick to win the Danish Golf Championship. He finished tied for fifth at this event, shooting twelve under par, which shows he thrives on home turf. I also think his left-handed swing helps him shape shots around tough fairway trees.

Ewen Ferguson has three DP World Tour titles already, which proves he knows how to cross the finish line in big moments. He also finished second in Denmark before, missing victory by just one stroke.

Marcus Armitage ranks in the top twenty for greens hit in regulation, which means his iron shots land cleanly on target almost every time. He holds a world record for hitting precise long drives. I think he stands a chance here

Rasmus Neergaard Petersen tied for ninth at The Open this year, which proves his world-class talent. He has also won three Challenge Tour events in 2024 to dominate the rankings. I see high chances for him on home soil.

I really like Miguel Ángel Jiménez at the Boeing Classic this weekend. He won this tournament back in 2022 with a great score of 15 under par, which shows how well his precise iron play fits this course. I also see how easily he scores on the tricky back-nine holes. He may be a strong chance here.

I will keep my sights on Scottie Scheffler to win this week. He ranks first in Strokes Gained: Approach, averaging over 1.2 gained per round. That means his iron shots land much closer to the cup than everyone else's. He also avoids water hazards well. I think he has a great chance.

I think Tommy Fleetwood is a smart pick for the FedEx St. Jude Championship. He hits over seventy-four percent of fairways, which keeps his ball away from water hazards. A trend is that TPC Southwind has super narrow landing spots that punish bad drivers. I see a very strong chance for him here.

Another smart play for the FedEx St. Jude Championship is taking Tom Kim to win. He won the Genesis Scottish Open by shooting seventeen under par, proving he can beat elite fields. One can see how TPC Southwind heavily punishes wild drivers, while Kim hits target after target. We may see a great chance for him to triumph.

I will also consider Akshay Bhatia to win the FedEx St. Jude Championship as a viable option. He ranks fifth on tour in strokes gained: putting, meaning he routinely makes far more clutch putts than the rest of the field. He also previously fired a career-low 62 at TPC Southwind. I think his chances are very high.

I also pick Sam Burns. He gains nearly one full stroke per round on greens, meaning he sinks hard putts that other golfers miss. He has amazing history on Bermuda grass courses like this one. I see a real chance for him to win.
