2021 Northern Trust final round odds, picks: Proven golf model locks in projected leaderboard, surprising PGA projections
Jon Rahm and Cameron Smith sit atop the leaderboard heading into the final round of the 2021 Northern Trust. Smith fired a career-low and course record 11-under par 60 to seize a share of the lead heading into Monday's final round. Both players sit at 16-under par, one shot ahead of Erik van Rooyen. Rahm, the No. 1 ranked player in the world, is the +138 favorite (risk $100 to win $138) at Caesars Sportsbook, followed by Smith (3-1) and Justin Thomas (8-1).Â
We simulated the final round of the 2021 Northern Trust 10,000 times, and there are some MAJOR surprises.
Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been RED-HOT since the PGA Tour resumed last June. In fact, it's up almost $10,500 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.
At the 2021 Open Championship, McClure's best bets included Collin Morikawa winning outright even though he was listed as a massive 40-1 long shot. He was also all over Daniel Berger (+220) and Emiliano Grillo (+700) finishing inside the top-20. McClure's best bets netted over $2,200 at the Open Championship.
In addition, McClure's model was all over Jon Rahm's (10-1) first career major championship victory at the 2021 U.S. Open. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the weekend, but the model still projected him as the winner. And at the 2021 Masters, McClure nailed Rahm's (+250) top-five finish in his best bets, as well as Corey Conners' (+550) top-10 showing.Â
This same model has also nailed a whopping seven majors entering the weekend! Anyone who has followed it has seen MASSIVE returns!
One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2021 Northern Trust: Tony Finau, who sits just two shots off the lead heading into Monday's final round, stumbles and doesn't even crack the top five! Another surprise: Viktor Hovland, a 16-1 long shot, makes a strong run at the title. He's a target for anyone looking for a HUGE payday.
Also, the model is targeting FOUR OTHER golfers with odds longer than 16-1 who will make a surprising run, including THREE EPIC long shots who will finish near the top of the leaderboard! Anyone who backs these underdogs could hit it BIG.
