Bets to win

Corey Conners 20-1 to win; top-10 finish (+200); top 5 (+400)

Bearman: A regular, weekly reader of this column is not going to be surprised to see me running it back with my "human ATM" in Conners. He has become one of my favorite golf plays week in and week out and, yet, this course might be the best fit of all of them. Copperhead has tight fairways and challenging greens, which necessitates a strong tee-to-green hitter. Conners is accurate off the tee and is a good ball-striker that hits greens. He checks every single box -- he is sixth on tour in hitting greens, ninth in tee to green and off the tee, 10th in driving accuracy and is 11th in approach and total shots gained.
