Jay Kinney endorsed Carson Young as a first-round leader and outright pick. He cited multiple top finishes in low-scoring events such as runner-up at the Worldwide Technology Championship, success in Puerto Rico, and a strong showing at the John Deere Classic. Kinney believes these results and his record in tropical conditions make Young a good bet in Mexico.

Brady Kannon acknowledged Carson Young as a value bet near the bottom of his card. Though Kannon didn’t delve into deep stats on Young this time, he pointed out that Young has shown an ability to post solid finishes on courses featuring paspalum greens, including strong results in other Mexican events. Kannon believes Young’s track record in similar setups, combined with his attractive triple-digit odds, makes him worth a speculative wager.
