Perhaps it's because I just watched him go wire-to-wire winning at Torrey Pines but how about Justin Rose? Came as close as you can last year...

I could see a swing this year in the final round. With either Scheffler, Bryson or Rahm taking the win. You also can’t rule out Russel Henley, as he has made the cut every year since 2017 and has placed in the upper half of the field. 2023 he tied for 4th place although last year he did Tie for 38th. With Russell being from Georgia and knowing how that state plays I would say he could be a surprise win.

Whomever is the most present player that week.... Too many good talented players now, it's all a about being the most grounded athlete that week.
BTW, what is being served for the dinner this year, anyone here?

Scheffler has the high odds followed by Mcollory. However schaaffle has a shot at top three or winning if the leaders give up shots Saturday or Sunday's final. He may also be able to hold the lead if Schaffer’s iron play isn’t by the numbers and Mcllory finds trouble. If all else fails Rham hits the gap left by those three.

I’d like to see spieth return to form. I know 12 brings a lot of trauma but this could otherwise be a great course for him. I think Rose still has a major left in him as well.
