SAS Championship Tips

I choose Steven because his current form is unmatched, and his superior Strokes Gained profile (especially putting and approach) perfectly matches the requirements of a low-scoring Prestonwood. He is the most deterministic pick to close out a victory in ideal scoring conditions, leveraging his overall dominance.

Cameron Percy let last week's tournament at Jacksonville slip out of his grasp with his 2nd round. After starting with a 64 in the 1st round, he was caught by Tommy Gainey on the final round. He could go well again this week.

I choose Els as his elite ball-striking is always a significant advantage on a championship-length Par 72. His previous win here proves the course suits his eye, and his current solid form makes him a high-probability contender.

I choose Harrington due to his near-miss last year and consistently aggressive style that forces low scores. His motivation is a key factor, and his propensity for making birdies provides a high ceiling, making him the top challenger to Stricker.

Tommy Gainey stormed away with the Constellation Furyk and Friends Tournament last week. The 50-year-old, unused to winning, could double up in the SAS Championship.

I choose Kelly primarily on course history and mental fortitude. Despite potentially less dominant all-around stats than the top three, his specific ability to win this event twice means he is always a threat at Prestonwood.
