Yeah, I understand it's now not Tuesday... But let's make a few picks for the Tournament of Champions anyway.
The Sentry Tounament of Champions starts the brand new 12 months each year, proposing the winners of occasions from the previous yr plus some invitees with current wins. The event is held, as it's miles each yr, at Kapalua at the Hawaiian island of Maui and the protecting champion is Xander Schauffele.
This yr I'm making a moderate exchange to Twofer Tuesday. Instead of selecting a winner and a Top10er, I'm just going to pick two gamers to Top10. I ended up preserving music of those finishes remaining yr besides, so I'm simply going to pick pinnacle finishers and make note of whether or not any of them win.
Maybe that seems like a cop-out, however it certain will simplify preserving tune!
- My first Top10er is Xander Schauffele. Xander only had the one win last year -- this event -- but he played well all year despite not posting another victory. It's easy to forget that he lost the WGC-HSBC Champions late last year to Rory in a playoff. This is a course that definitely suits his game and I'll be surprised if he doesn't play well here again.
- My other Top10er is Dustin Johnson. This was a tough pick for me because Dustin is still on the comeback while both Justin Thomas and Jon Rahm are in full flight. But like Xander, this course suits his game well -- he's won here twice, and I suspect he spent last month working on his game. At this time of the year I think motivation may mean more than form... and DJ is probably VERY motivated.
