Winner
Brandon Raper
Rickie Fowler
Brandon Raper has made his choice and it is Rickie Fowler who he thinks will win the Quicken Loans National this week. Fowler has been playing some terrific golf this year, grabbing five top-5 finishes and eight top-25s in 2017 thus far, including a victory at the Honda Classic last February. The American came close to winning his first major tournament at the U.S. Open a couple of weeks ago but a weekend collapse doomed his chances. Fowler will look to bounce back here at Congressional where his odds of winning are currently priced at +750.

Derek Clements
Bill Haas
Bucking the Fowler trend is Golf Shake‘s Derek Clements, who sided with Bill Haas instead. The tee-to-green tactician has been playing some solid golf of late, nabbing top-25s in each of his last three starts, including a fifth-place showing at the U.S. Open. Haas also knows his way around the Congressional course, winning the AT&T National crown back in 2013. He is pegged at +2,500to return to the winner’s circle this week.
