For PGATour.com’s Rob Bolton, one name immediately jumps into mind when it comes to the sleeper front for this week’s Travelers Championship. And that name is Keegan Bradley. The 31-year-old is 6-for-6 at TPC River Highlands with a pair of top-25s and a scoring average of 68.58. The New England native’s strength remains his shot-making from tee to green, ranking T5 in total driving and 32nd in greens in regulation. Bradley is pegged at +7,500to win this week.
Kyle Stanley is another golfer who has caught the eye of Bolton. The Washington native has missed only three of 18 cuts this season and sits 39th in the FedExCup standings with four top-10s. Stanley will look to keep the momentum going at TPC River Highlands where he’s 3-for-7 in his career. His odds of winning the tournament are currently priced at +4,000.
Chad Campbell’s another guy who’s playing some solid golf as we speak. The PGA Tour veteran already has five top-15s this season, including a T10 at the FedEx St. Jude Classic two weeks ago. He loves playing in Cromwell as well where he’s embarking on his 11th consecutive appearance. Campbell finished tied for fifth in 2010 and tied for seventh in 2014. He is listed at +10,000to end his title drought this weekend
Rounding out Bolton’s sleeper picks are Harris English and Wyndham Clark. Momentum is definitely with English who’s coming off a T10 at the FedEx St. Jude Classic. The 27-year-old is 4-for-4 at TPC River Highlands with a T7 in 2014 and a T25 in 2015. Clark, on the other hand, will be making his PGA Tour debut at this week’s Travelers Championship.
