McClure was also all over Viktor Hovland’s (+2500) victory in the Mayakoba Golf Classic in December. That was one of many huge calls he’s made in the past few months.
After nailing Sergio Garcia (+5500) finishing on top of the leaderboard at the Sanderson Farms Championship, McClure finished up over $6,200 yet again on his best bets in that tournament. The model had him in the top five from the start and McClure’s best bets included Garcia winning outright. He also finished profitable at the U.S. Open, nailing two of his best bets, including a +1100 top-five bet on Matthew Wolff. In all, the advanced computer model has also nailed a whopping six majors entering the weekend, including Patrick Reed’s Masters win in 2018. Anyone who has followed its golf picks has seen massive returns. Now that the 2021 Masters field is taking shape, SportsLine simulated the event 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.
The model’s top 2021 Masters predictions One huge shocker the model is calling for at the Masters 2021: Bryson DeChambeau, the defending U.S. Open champion and one of the top favorites, barely cracks the top 10. DeChambeau has certainly revolutionized the game of golf in recent months, using his bulked-up frame to dominate golf courses. DeChambeau’s dominance off the tee can be seen in his advanced statistics, ranking first on the PGA Tour in driving distance, strokes gained: tee-to-green and strokes gained: off-the-tee. In addition to his length off the tee, DeChambeau has also been a sensational putter this season, ranking in the top 50 in strokes gained: putting, overall putting average and one-putt percentage. However, Augusta National is not a golf course DeChambeau can overpower with lightning fast greens and a thick first cut ready to punish every mishit. That was evident in DeChambeau’s last start at the Masters when he finished 34th. DeChambeau, who’s never finished better than 29th at Augusta National, is not a strong pick to win it all and there are far better values in the Masters 2021 field.
