Brandon Raper
Paul Casey
Brandon Raper has made his choice and it is Paul Casey who he thinks will win the Travelers Championship this week. Casey has been playing some terrific golf this year, grabbing four top-ten finishes and 10 top-25s in 2017 thus far. The Englishman came close to winning his first major tournament at the U.S. Open last week but a weekend collapse doomed his chances. Casey will look to bounce back here in Cromwell where his odds of winning are currently priced at +1,500.

Randy Chambers
Paul Casey
Randy Chambers of Sports Chat Place is another expert who’s backing Paul Casey to take home the title this week. He believes that Casey’s experience in this event will be the main difference this weekend. In his tournament debut in 2015, the Englishman went 64-65 on the weekend to force a playoff with Bubba Watson. Despite losing that playoff to the two-time Masters champion, Casey came back strongly last year, posting a T17 finish despite closing with a final-round 71. Casey’s terrific iron play is perfectly suited for the River Highlands course so expect another high finish this week for the 39-year-old.
