With the cut down to 100 players, we say goodbye this week to, among others, Charl Schwartzel, Lee Westwood and Adam Scott who I shrewdly ranked fifth in my season preview. At least Tiger will be able to fill-out his 8:50 tee time on Saturday morning. Meanwhile, Kyle Reifers, David Cleghorn, Hudson Swafford and Jason Kokrak* live to fight another day (believe it or not, I only made one of those guys up) and this week's players on the 70 man bubble include Ian Poulter (69th), Keegan Bradley (71st) and Charles Howell, III (74th). In light of my deep affection for all things Boston, I certainly hope that Bradley's season doesn't spontaneously combust there this weekend (I'm detecting sarcasm).
Continuing the theme initiated in yesterday's DraftKings Preview and revisited as recently as the last paragraph, Boston doesn't give us much to like but at least this week it gives us a course that produces solid winners so the rankings are going to be very chalky not unlike the skin of most Red Sox fans before they spend a sunscreen free summer baking-in tank top lines at Fenway and degrading the beaches of Cape Cod. I kid because I love (not really).
As for the golf, if you want to keep riding the Jason Day train this week, by all means do but know that (a) it will unquestionably briefly derail at some point and (b) Rory has been on the sidelines watching yet another young stud pound chinks in his "Best Golfer in the World" armour for the better part of six weeks and he ain't just going to sit back and take it. It certainly doesn't hurt Rory's case that he won this thing in 2012 and came in 5th last year.
The other logical choices to bump Day off his stride are Henrik Stenson who came in 2nd last week and won here in 2013 and Jordan Spieth who is Jordan Spieth. If none of those guys are still at your disposal (and they shouldn't be), check-out Robert Streb who finished 9th here last year and Kevin Kisner who showed signs last week of getting back the game that made him one of the best on tour for ten weeks this summer (did I mention that I have a vested interest in Kisner?).
The Deutsche Bank Odds
Hyundai:
Kevin Streelman - $70,667
Memorial:
Justin Rose - $669,600
Season Total: $6,843,684
Footnote
* Cleghorn is the poser in case you were wondering. Admit it. You thought it was Kokrak didn't you? You're so predictable. (Wife rolls eyes, sighs and leaves the room).
