Winner
I’m going with this 27 year old Englishman who finished 2nd to Dustin last year shooting a 5 under, 66 on Sunday and sinking a 40 foot putt on 18 to capture second place over Jon Rahm. He finished 4th last week at the Honda shooting 1 under 69 on Sunday. He went 70, 68.67, 69 for the four days. He’s also already won the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, played in the United Arab Emirates in January, where he finished -22 for the four days. I’m seeing this guy breaking out this weekend and capturing the WGC Mexico event.
