Best WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational 2020 Model Predictions
A big surprise that the model asks for at the 3M Open 2020: Bryson DeChambeau, one of the main favorites in Las Vegas with 12-1, stumbles and barely exceeds the top five. DeChambeau has climbed to No. 4 in the FedEx Cup standings with four top-10 results since the PGA Tour resumed in June, including a victory in the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
But he fought powerfully at the Memorial two weeks ago, missing the cut after shooting 73 and 76 in the first two rounds. It wasn’t an important factor in this event last year either, finishing 48th (+1). He has been the longest driver on tour, but precision has haunted him at times as he enters this ranked event outside the top 100 in driving accuracy percentage (61.2). Unlikely this week, the model identified it as a low value, making it a favorite of the 2020 WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational to avoid.

You have a much better chance of winning than your odds imply, making it a target for anyone looking for a big payday. The world’s 11th player, Schauffele comes from a 13th place in the Memorial Tournament earlier this month.
Schauffele has played well all season, including the top three places in the WGC-HSBC Champions, Sentry Tournament of Champions and Charles Schwab Challenge. The four-time PGA Tour winner has also shown that he has the game to compete with top golfers at WGC events. In fact, Schauffele clinched a top-15 result in four of his last five WGC starts, including a victory at the WGC-HSBC Champions in 2019. With higher odds this week and much success at the World Golf Championship, Schauffele en According to the model, this is a solid choice for your WGC-FedEx St. Jude 2020 invitation bets this week.
