Greenbrier Classic Predictions<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\nSo the host course, TPC Old White, has been restored in an attempt to make it tougher.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll believe it when I see it. I still want some low scorers and birdie makers this week.<\/p>\n
THE ELITE<\/h3>\n
Phil Mickelson<\/strong>
\nGreenbrier Classic odds: +1000<\/p>\nLefty is quietly having a pretty solid year, cracking the top 10 five times in 14 starts. While he can be a rollercoaster, he has the ability to go low that\u2019s necessary to win the Greenbrier. Mickelson is 11th<\/sup> on Tour in adjusted scoring average.<\/p>\nSergio Garcia<\/strong>
\nGreenbrier Classic odds: +1500<\/p>\nBased on pretty much all the numbers, it\u2019s tough to argue with picking Sergio. He enters the tourney with three straight top-10s, two of which were in majors. He\u2019s fourth on Tour in adjusted scoring average and 30th<\/sup> in ball-striking. The only knock on Sergio is that he hasn\u2019t broken through to win a tournament, PGA or European, since 2008.<\/p>\nTHE CONTENDERS<\/h3>\n
Charles Howell III<\/strong>
\nGreenbrier Classic odds: +2000<\/p>\nBefore a mediocre finish at the British open \u2013 forgivable given the unique conditions there \u2013 Howell was sizzling. He had three straight top-fives and only 17 holes over par in 12 rounds of golf over that span. Clearly, he can go low. He has to be considered this week.<\/p>\n
Webb Simpson<\/strong>
\nGreenbrier Classic odds: +2000<\/p>\nLuke Donald? Nick Watney? Nope \u2013 Webb Simpson leads the Tour in all-around statistical ranking. He\u2019s played consistently well this season and ranks sixth in adjusted scoring average. Feels like he\u2019s due to win one.<\/p>\n
Jeff Overton<\/strong>
\nGreenbrier Classic odds: +2500<\/p>\nJeff Overton has been quiet this season but did finish third at the AT&T National four weeks ago. He also narrowly missed out on the victory at last year\u2019s Greenbrier. Maybe he\u2019ll finish the job at a tourney that clearly suits his game?<\/p>\n
SOLID PICKS<\/h3>\n
Brandt Snedeker <\/strong>
\nGreenbrier Classic odds: +3000<\/p>\nThe one stat category in which the Greenbrier actually ranked as difficult last year: putting. Could that be music to Brandt Snedeker\u2019s ears? He\u2019s the No. 2 putter on Tour and, theoretically, could have a leg up on the field if he\u2019s on his game this week.
