Our teams top picks for the John Deere Classic:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brian's Pick - Eric Cole:
Has no won on tour this year but has shown some promising scores. Recently top 25 at the Travelers, Top 40 at the US Open, and Top 6 at the RBC Canadian Open. All three of these recent tournaments are a good sign that he can perform under some tough settings. He leads the tour with Putts per Round - First Round and consecutive par 3 birdies. Expect him to have another great showing this week after he had last week off. Anticipate that he had time to rest and tune up his game to go low this weekend.
Top "Picks":
Leader after Round 1 - +4500
Winner - +3300
Top 20 - +175

Marc's Pick - Dylan Wu:
If you look at his performances you see an up and down golfer, and I completely agree. 5 of his last 8 he has made the cut with 4 of them being top 25 finishes. He has shown he can produce 2 to 3 great scorecards but can't seem to put together a full weekend. Last week in Detroit he started great with 3 amazing scores to keep him in the mix but goes on to shoot a 74 on the last day. A risky pick to back him but we know he has the capability to shoot low we just need 4 days if he wants his first tour win. Overall his stats are average very middle of the pack good but where he excels is greens in regulation %. He has one of the lowest rounds on tour this year with a 61. He drives the ball solid and if he can get off the tee well expect him to hit a lot of greens.
Top "Picks":
Winner - +7000
Round 1 Leader - +7000
Top 30 - +180

Momentum Pick - Adam Hadwin:
This man has had a very flashy year, going basically solid score - good score every other week. He is coming off an unbelievable weekend in Detroit where he showed he once again he can shoot really low like he did in Zurich. He has a great approach to the green where the stats look good, expect him to be putting for lots of birdies. He is top 3 on tour in numerous putting categories, from 4', from 4-8', and inside 10'. If he can keep his approaches tight we could see a repeat of last weekend.
Top "Picks":
Winner - +2800
Top 20 - +165
