World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba Picks (Past Success at El Camaleon Important in Mexico)
The PGA Tour heads South of the border for this week's World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba.
Thankfully, we get to watch a solid field of golfers this week. Last week was tough to get through, especially considering my pick to win, Thomas Detry, finished in second place.
Let's take a look at the odds to win this week's event at El Camaleon, and then I'll give you my three best bets.
Odds to Win World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba
World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba Best Bets
Thomas Detry Top 20 +210
Despite him breaking our hearts last week, we're going to back Thomas Detry once again. This time, we're not going to get aggressive and bet on him to win. Instead, we're going to play it safe and bet on him to finish in the top 20 at +210.
Detry remains to be undervalued due to his rookie status on Tour, but he has had tons of experience in Europe and it has shown so far this season. Through his first four starts, he has finished T12 or better in three of them. He also has a 22nd place finish at this event last year. making him a solid bet to have another strong performance this week.
Brendon Todd Top 10 +430
Stay away from betting on Brendon Todd at an event where distance off the tee is critical. That is not the case at El Cameleon, and his results have proven that fact. He won this event in 2019, and followed it up with an 8th place finish in 2020 and an 11th place finish last year.
He's also coming into this event in good form, finishing T7 at the CJ Cup last week. With no strokes gained data to use this week, relying on past performance and recent form is more important than most weeks.
K.H. Lee to Win +3900
I don't know what else K.H. Lee needs to do to earn people's respect. Not only is he coming into this week off a 3rd place finish at last week's CJ Cup, but his numbers have been extremely impressive this season.
He ranks 11th in total strokes gained, and his 18th ranking in driving accuracy will give him a leg up on golfers who struggle to find fairways. As long as his putting remains steady, he'll be in contention heading into the weekend.
