Matt Every said Trey Mullinax appeals as an outright pick here because he only played this course once, but it strongly rewards players who can mash it off the tee. Every emphasized that it’s tough to make a big number at Vidanta, so length is at a premium. He noted that Mullinax tends to pop in weaker-field events and could leverage his power here to contend for a win.

Matt Every singled out Thor Bjornton at 55 to 1, acknowledging his lack of current form but highlighting a high ceiling based on last summer’s success. Every described Vidanta as ‘idiot proof’ for him, suggesting that the forgiving tee-to-green setup will limit big mistakes. In a weaker field, Every sees Michael Thorbjornsen natural ability and power off the tee as key factors that could lead to a surprise contention.
