After spending time across the pond last week, the Tour now travels north of the border for the 2017 RBC Canadian Open. With 500 FedEx Cup points to be won and with a good field of golfers, this event at the Glen Abbey Golf Course is more than just an afterparty for the British Open. Let’s take a look at some of the golfers you should be eyeing to bet on
Kuchar had a close one last week at the British Open, coming up second to eventual champion Jordan Spieth. But what makes Kuchar such a salivating prospect to bet on at the RBC Canadian Open is his terrific track record in the event. The 39-year-old has finished inside the top 10 of the event in each of the last four years, including a T2 finish in 2013 and a T9 last year. His scoring average during that stretch at Glen Abbey is 69.167, which explains a lot why Kuchar is a man to watch this week in Canada.
Johnson is in quite a rough stretch, having missed the cut in back-to-back fashion at the Memorial and at the US Open, respectively, and recording an underwhelming T54 last weekend at the British Open. Johnson, however, could recapture his form this week at the Canadian Open in which he’s got two runner-up finishes in his last two visits to Glen Abbey. Thus far on the season, Johnson has three wins and six total top 10’s.
With a respectable T27 at the Open last week, Finau has extended his streak to eight made cuts. Over that span, Finau has four top 20’s. He’s best finish so far on the season is a T3 at the Valero Open way back in April, but he’s also bagged a T7 recently at the Greenbrier Classic. All told, it seems that Finau is flirting with success and lady luck may just blink right back at him in Canada this week.
