Mike Randleman
Collin Morikawa
Mike Randleman of FanSided thinks Collin Morikawa is going to make the loudest noise at TPC Southwind this coming weekend. Morikawa, who settled for a T4 in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, is not too far removed from his majestic win in The Open Championship early last month. Morikawa has two wins and eight top 10s in 19 PGA TOUR starts this season.

Pick
Ryan Simpson, News Editor
Dustin Johnson
In his preview of the 2021 World Golf Championships-FedEx St. Jude Invitational, TopBet News Editor Ryan Simpson revealed that he is picking Dustin Johnson to win the tournament. Here’s what Simpson had to say about DJ:
“Johnson remains winless this year after not even making the cut in the 2021 3M Open. That was a disappointing turnout for Johnson after going 4 of 4 in his previous starts that include a T8 in The Open Championship 2021. At some point, Johnson is going to get his mojo back. Watch out for him this week down at TPC Southwind, where he has a pair of wins and four top 4s in eight career starts there. Johnson won the 2012 and 2018 editions of the FedEx St. Jude Classic. The last time he was there, he finished 12th in the World Golf Championships-FedEx St. Jude Invitational 2021.”
