for rd 1, playing:
henley +105 vs hviii
henley way under the radar as we haven’t seen him tee it up since the PGA, but his performances at the US Open have been trending in the right direction - after missing 2 of his first 3 cuts in the event, russell has gone 27/25/13 and last year was tied for the lead after 54 holes before a final round 76 did him in - meanwhile hviii has been populating leaderboards for a while now and is clearly top of mind - varner has very limited experience in the US Open though, having missed the cut in his only start in 2018
they’re calling this a second shot golf course, and henley ranks 2nd on tour this season in strokes gained/approach (with hviii a respectable 29th) - henley also a straighter driver of the golf ball, ranking 22nd in driving accuracy this season while varner all the way down at 163rd
as always, good luck no matter which golfers you choose this week -
