Steve's Six Pack Picks:

This week I leaned heavily on current form, length, and past success at Riviera. Traditional courses such as this one tend to see the same people moving towards the Top each year.

Aaron Baddeley 165/1 - Badds has two Top 8 finishes this season which equals his total from the two previous seasons combined. He does tend to find a way to play well when he heads to Riviera though (2013/14 - T18, 2012 - T11, 2011 - WIN, 2007 - T13, 2005 - T7). He obviously has plenty of experience at this course and it will be his outstanding putting that will carry him. Over the years he has rolled the ball in from everywhere on these greens and I expect this trend to continue.

1.5 Units on Bill Haas 34/1 - Everyone who has been with us for more than a few years can remember our Haas win here in 2012. He was a 50-1 player and managed to fend of both Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley in a playoff. It was one of the more exciting victories based on the circumstances and the caliber of players involved. Haas is back playing great golf as he has Top 18 finishes in 4 of his last 5 including a T8 at Pebble Beach. I have explained in the past how Bill is one of the worlds best players on Traditional tracks, and he will be in contention this week come Sunday (has finished inside the the Top 25 five times here including a win and a T3). He goes against our long off the tee approach but there is no way you can leave him off this list at Riviera (but he is extremely accurate off the tee - 3rd on Tour).

1.5 Units on Jimmy Walker 26/1 - I told you he would be on our list plenty in 2016 and I wasn’t lying. He is going to contend for a major or two this season and build off his huge 2015. Since 2010 his results have been as follows at Riviera (2011 - T4, 2012 - T4, 2013 - T16, 2014 - T20, 2015 - T41). Jimmy is extremely long off the tee (46th on Tour for Driving Distance), and yet is one of the worlds best putters (19th on Tour for Overall Putting Average). Get used to this name being a fixture at the Top of leaderboards.

1.5 Units on Sergio Garcia 28/1 - I am excited about this selection and the year Sergio will have. He has always been known as one of the best iron players in the world, but now his putting is a real strength. When he switched putting grips he gained plenty of confidence and it really has done wonders. Garcia has Top 25 finishes in 7 of his 9 starts at this tournament, including a T4 last year. I thought his odds would be lower based on his form and history, so we get great value.

1.5 Units on JB Holmes 31/1 - Holmes is one of the hottest players on Tour right now and is another player who will love the sight of Riviera. JB has Top 25 finishes in all 5 starts and is entering on the heels of three straight Top 11’s. JB has a very solid history at this course including a run that saw him finishing no worse than T12 from 2008 to 2012. The long hitting Kentucky man ranks 5th on Tour in length this season and is 17th for Strokes Gained from Tee to Green. His key this week will be putting, but based on his love for these greens in the past, I like our chances. HEAD TO HEAD

We keep our head to head winning streak going with the Mickelson over Rose cashing. Another 3 Unit play this week.
