Sam Belden
Jason Day
Sam Belden has made his choice and it is Jason Day who he thinks will win the Deutsche Bank Championship this week. The world no. 1 has been playing some excellent golf of late, grabbing top-10 finishes in nine of his last 13 PGA Tour starts, including tournament wins at the Arnold Palmer, WGC Match Play and the PLAYERS Championship. The Australian is coming off a remarkable fourth-place finish at the Barclays tournament.
What makes Day a firm favorite this weekend is his excellent record at TPC Boston. He’s never missed a cut in this famous golf course and has found the top 20 in six of the last seven years. With Day playing some of the best golf of his life right now, expect the 28-year-old to be in contention once again this weekend. He is pegged at +650to win the Deutsche Bank Championship for the first time in his career.

Ryan Ballengee
Jason Day
Ryan Ballengee of Yahoo! Sports is another expert who’s backing Day to take home the title this week. Ballengee believes that Day’s experience in this event will be the main difference this weekend. The Australian has been pretty consistent in this tournament, nabbing four top-15 finishes in the last five years. Putting will also be crucial this week and Day is heads and shoulders above the field when it comes to that department. He is tops in the PGA Tour in strokes gained via putting with an incredible 1.154 average. That will be a major weapon for the world no. 1 when navigating the tough TPC Boston greens this week.
