Elliott Heath sees strong betting value in outsider Ryo Hisatsune at +6600 for the CJ Cup Byron Nelson. Hisatsune recently delivered two top-five finishes in his last four tournaments and managed a respectable T18 at the RBC Heritage in his latest individual start. Additionally, he performed well at TPC Craig Ranch last year, finishing T13 after a robust seven-under-par final round. Despite a disappointing foursomes Sunday at Zurich Classic last week, Heath notes Hisatsune looked very comfortable at the PGA Tour level playing his own ball, making him a noteworthy betting choice at generous odds.
Strong contender due to recent form and course performance
Elliott Heath strongly favors Si Woo Kim at +2800 for the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, highlighting Kim’s impressive record at TPC Craig Ranch. Kim finished as runner-up in 2023 after an exceptional eight-under-par final round and followed that with another solid T13 finish last year. Though Kim struggled with his putting in the final round at the RBC Heritage, his putting was excellent for the first three rounds. Heath believes Kim can contend again if his putter returns to early-round levels, especially given his recent T8 showing at the RBC Heritage that signals he's finding strong form again.
