Brandon Raper
Dustin Johnson
Mike Randleman has made his choice and it is Dustin Johnson who he thinks will win the RBC Canadian Open this week. Yes, the world no. 1 has struggled mightily of late (missed cut at the US Open and a T54 at the British Open) but Randleman believes that Johnson’s B game is more than enough to beat the field this week. Remember, this is still the same guy who won three consecutive starts this past spring, a streak only ended by a runner-up showing at the Wells Fargo Championship.
Johnson is pegged at +800to win the 2017 PGA Championship.

Derek Clements
Adam Hadwin
Bucking the Johnson trend is Golf Shake‘s Derek Clements, who sided with Adam Hadwin instead. The tee-to-green tactician may have missed the cut in three of his last five starts but he’s still Canada’s best hope for a home win this week. 2017 has been a good year for Hadwin with the Canadian winning the Valspar Championship last March.
Hadwin is pegged at +8,000to win the 2017 PGA Championship.
