The 2022 PGA Championship will be underway this week. Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas, and Rory McIlroy are among the top golfers expected to have success at Southern Hills CC, but here are three sleepers who could be making even louder noises there. Check out some of the sleepers in the 2022 PGA Championship below.
At his current price, how can you not think of Young as a potential sleeper pick? He has been hot of late, with a T3 at the 2022 RBC Heritage followed by a T2 at the 2022 Wells Fargo Championship. Those came after a missed cut at the 2022 Masters Tournament, which shows the resiliency of this 25-year-old Scarborough, New York native. That’s now four top 10s (three runner-ups) for the rookie, who is also 11 of 16 this season.
The 35-year-old Bradley is also in rhythm heading to the tournament in Tulsa. He has made the top 10 in each of his last three starts, which includes his T2 at the 2022 Wells Fargo Championship. Prior to that, he finished tied for eighth at the 2022 Valero Texas Open and tied for fourth at the 2022 Zurich Classic of New Orleans. That’s the best three-start stretch Bradley has had so far this season, wherein he’s gone 13 of 16 with five top 10s and seven top 25s. He could just be the surprise of the tournament down in Oklahoma.
A nine-time winner of PGA TOUR events, Reed will be looking to make louder noises this week. In his last start, he missed the cut at the 2022 Wells Fargo Championship a couple of weeks ago, breaking his streak of four made cuts. Reed’s best finish so far this season was a T2 at the 2022 Butterfield Bermuda Championship way back in October. In 16 starts, he’s cracked the top 25 just twice, but he’s someone who’s had enough success in his career to warrant good attention.
