7,000-6,500

Aaron Baddeley (6,900): Baddeley won the Barbasol Championship in mid-July opposite The Open Championship after besting Si Woo Kim in a four-hole playoff.  He has only played one event since then finishing a solid t49 at the PGA Championship last week.  Baddeley has been inconsistent throughout the season but playing well lately as he comes to TPC River Highlands where he finished solo-fourth two years ago and has made the cut in six of the last seven years.  Given his form and history, he’s my favorite sub-7K option this week.

Fredrik Jacobson (6,800): Jacobson made the cut last week at the PGA but finished t73 in his first tournament since a t12 at the St. Jude Classic back in early June.  This week, he’ll be back in familiar territory where he picked up his lone PGA Tour victory back in 2011.  Jacobson has made the cut all three times he has played this event since that win and defended his titled with a t8 in 2012.

John Senden (6,700): Senden missed the cut at the Barbasol Championship where Baddeley won, but has posted top 30’s in the other four of his last five starts on the PGA Tour.  He ended up t18 last week at the PGA Championship and has the kind of game that usually plays well at TPC River Highlands.  He hasn’t teed it up at this event since 2005 when he missed the cut, but I expect better results from him this week if his putter stays as hot as it was last week.
