HIDEKI MATSUYAMA

To win 14/1

To lead after the first round 28/1

Matsuyama opened with a round of 65 at last week’s WGC St Jude Invitational, which left him joint-second at the end of Thursday’s play.

The 27-year-old was in the same position at the 3M Open earlier this month, when he opened with a 64, and could again go low on the first day at Sedgefield.

Matsuyama is putting together a nice season, currently ranking seventh in total shots gained on the PGA Tour, and he’s clearly one of the best players in this relatively weakened field.

He’s got a good record in this event, having finished T3 in 2016 and T11 last year.

CHEZ REAVIE

To win 40/1

To lead after the first round 50/1

Reavie has been one of the most consistent starters on the PGA Tour this year, ranking joint-fifth in first-round scoring average in 2019.

The 37-year-old opened with a decent round of 68 at last week’s WGC St Jude Invitational, which left him tied for 18th at the end of the first day.

Reavie was joint-eighth at the end of Thursday’s play at last month’s US Open, and a week later won the Travelers Championship after being joint-seventh after the first round.

He looks a good bet to go low again on day one at Sedgefield, where he finished inside the top 10 in both 2009 and 2011.
