2022 PGA RBC Heritage Round 4 Showdown Picks and Strategy
Harold Varner had the round of the day and holds the 54-hole lead. It feels like months since we’ve had a crowded leaderboard at the top heading into Sunday.

The Masters Round 4 Showdown Picks and Strategy
Round 4 of The Masters is an entirely different animal from Rounds 1-3. The inclusion of finishing position bonus points makes ownership more concentrated, but it also makes it more difficult for the more contrarian options to outperform the chalkier options. Consequently, we need to be selective about where we want to differentiate. The […]
