Welcome to the 2021 Sanderson Farm Preview. With the 2020-2021 PGA TOUR Season wrapped up, we head into the depth of the illustrious fall swing season! Where almost everyone cares far more about football, but nonetheless, we will be sling golf wagers.
The Sanderson Farms Championship is played at the Par 72 Country Club of Jackson in Jackson, MS. The course features Bermuda greens and is always very scoreable with high teens to low 20’s under par should be the winning score.
Picks:
Harold Varner III (+4000) is the first golfer I am going to this week. HV# finished his 2021 campaign strongly posting top 20 finishes at the John Deere, Nothern Trust, BMW, and Fortinet Championship to start the 2021-2022 season. Over his last 12 rounds Harold ranks 13th in the field in SG: APP, 3rd in SG: SG, and 10th in SG: P. I think this is a solid event for HV3 to have a chance at winning so I am starting my card with him
Ryan Armour (+12500) is the next guy I am going to, or, dropping down to rather. Armour is another guy who was playing well to end the season. Although he was not in the fields at the larger events, he posting good finishes in smaller events like the 3M, Barbasol and Palmetto. Armour over his last 12 rounds ranks among the field 52nd in SG: BS, and 14th SG: P. He can generally have a chance at events like this and I will take a flyer on the former winner (2018) and hope the putter hits a peak this week.
Hudson Swafford (+12500) is the third man on my card at the same price as Armour. Swafford did not finish the season as strongly as the previous two guys, but did earn a second place at Palmetto, and top 20’s at the Northern Trust and BMW. However, Hudson ranks 2nd in SG: BS, 3rd SG: APP, 30th SG: OTT, and although hiis short game has been struggling, ranking 3rd in the field will hopefully keep the short game scenarios to a minimum.
Clearly we are sending longshots out there this week, but with football being a main focus and an anyone can win type event like this I will take my chances.
