2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic Top Pick

Akshay Bhatia offers decent odds, considering he’s made the cut in four straight. Not only that, but in the last four, Bhatia has gotten better with each tournament.

The 22-year-old rising golf star finished sixtieth at the RBC, twenty-second at the Memorial, sixteenth at the U.S. Open, and fifth at the Travelers. The Travelers performance was exceptional. Bhatia scored two rounds of 64 and a round of 65. He finished with a 69 on the fourth day. Akshay is sitting on a win.

2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic Second Pick

The world’s sixteenth ranked golfer finished a decent twenty-sixth at the U.S. Open. At the RBC Canadian Open, the tournament before the U.S. Open, Tom Kim finished fourth.

Last week at the Travelers, Kim played well enough to finish a tied second. The 62-65-65-66 Kim posted at the Travelers was second only to Scottie Scheffler. Kim is riding high after hanging with the world’s top golfer. So we should expect another fantastic performance. The odds difference between Kim and Bhatia makes Akshay the top play, but it’s difficult to argue if you believe Kim gets it done.

2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic Third Pick

After a close look at Jaeger’s scores at the Travelers, it’s difficult to keep him out of the top three. Stephan scored a 71-67-65-67.

What the scores tell us is that the third pick made the necessary adjustments after the first round to give himself a chance at the victory. Jaeger shot well in this last year, finishing a tied ninth and at -18. The score was 6 strokes off Fowler.

2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic Underdog Pick

The defending champion isn’t having a great year. Fowler missed the cut at the Memorial and the U.S. Open. Still, he’s worth a look.

The reason? At the Travelers last week, Fowler shot 64-69-69-65 to finish a fast closing twentieth. Rickie appears to have gotten his best swing back. At the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic, Fowler dominated the course with a -24. The top underdog choice offers overlay odds to get the repeat win.
