Rob Bolton
Corey Conners
Conners could still be flying under the radar of most bettors, but Rob Bolton believes that the Canadian is going to have a great Valspar Championship showing this week. Conners has been pretty good of late, going T8 and T4 at The Masters and at the RBC Heritage, respectively. He’s got seven top 10s in 18 starts this season with 12 top 25s.
“Not only is Dustin Thomas going to play, but No. 2 Justin Thomas will also be down there at Innisbrook Resort to compete for a win. Thomas last saw action at the 2021 Masters Tournament, where he finished with a T21. Prior to that, he had a T42 at the World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play and won THE PLAYERS Championship. Thomas has gone 4 of 4 over his last four starts. He’s made the cut 11 times in 12 starts this season and will hit the course this week with five top 10s.”
