For Pro Golf Now’s Mike Randleman, one name immediately jumps into mind when it comes to the sleeper front for this week’s RBC Canadian Open. And that name is Jhonattan Vegas (+9,000). Yes, he has missed the cut in each of his last five starts but Vegas has already shown in the past that he has the game to tame Glen Abbey. The Venezuelan recorded his last Tour victory in this event, winning by a stroke over Dustin Johnson, Jon Rahm and Martin Laird last year. Vegas closed with a final-round 64 to erase a five-shot deficit and end a five-year title drought. Can the 32-year-old stop another barren run this week? Thursday can’t come soon enough.

Sleeper Pick
Randy Chambers
Ricky Barnes
Looking for a worthy sleeper? How about Ricky Barnes (+9,000)? The PGA Tour veteran has had some success in this tournament before, finishing fifth in last year’s Canadian Open and 11th back in 2015. Barnes is playing some solid golf of late as well, nabbing top-20 finishes in two of his last four starts, including a 17th-place showing at last month’s Quicken Loans National.
