2024 Wyndham Championship Prop Bet of the Week
72-Hole Matchup: Brian Harman (+105) vs. Shane Lowry
It’s the last week of the regular season for the PGA Tour, and Sedgefield Country Club will play host to what should be a birdie barrage. To find a quality finish here, it will take a player who can make birdies in bunches to keep up with the rest of the field.
To make birdies, it’s important to be on a golfer who can find fairways off the tee. While both players are able to hit fairways at a fairly high clip, Brian Harman has the advantage from there on in.
A Par-70 means there will be a fair share of par-4 holes. Harman ranks 13th in Tour on par-4s this season, while Shane Lowry ranks 24th. A good share of second shots will come from 150-175 yards out. Harman ranks 14th on Tour in approach from 150-175 yards, while the Irishman ranks 143rd. Making birdies also means making putts. Harman ranks 31st in strokes gained putting, compared to Lowry’s rank of 105. There are enough edges here for me to lean toward the Harman side in this matchup at plus money.
