Memorial Tournament KJ Choi -130 vs Justin Rose
Both of these players have won this event but there is a huge difference/gap in current form telling me the linesmakers are just lazy here.
Choi had his biggest win of his career at the Players Championship, prior to that a nice T3 in New Orleans. He then flew to Korea, played in a mini event and spent multi-hours with the media. He then flew to Dallas and said he was very tired and still managed a T40 finish. I expect a much higher finish here where the massive 5000 sq ft greens require premium putting. The greens despite much rain over the past month will be running in the 12-13 stimp range as they have in the past getting the Tour ready for U.S. Open qualifying next Monday.
Rose ranks 115th in the new putting stat "Strokes Gained" vs Choi at 76th. Rose was T45 at TPC Sawgrass, T48 at the Wells Fargo and missed the cut in New Orleans. Last week at the BMW Euro event in his homeland of England, on a course that he has performed very well in the past, he missed the cut. Yes, he's the defending champion but he hasn't played well all season actually.
