Cameron Champ!

 

There are 4 or 5 holes on the Seaside course that Champ could manhandle if he's feeling aggressive, holes that normal guys will have 150 in and Champ is trying to drive the green.

Keep and eye on 2, 4, 5, 8, 13, 14 and 16.

Who I'm backing this week:

 

Harold Varner III 50/1

Sam Ryder 50/1

Stewark Cink 60/1

Brian Gay 80/1

Robert Garrigus 150/1

 

Still looking to add one guy at the top of the board, leaning CT Pan. Tough to choose between him and Spaun.

[OutBackHack]

Spaun...

Long shot, Streb.

 

[DrivingChamp]

This field is terrible. Like a alternate event

[IVM]

This is a disappointing field for such a classy venue .

[McCann1]

I really wish this event would be later in the season. Too good to be a fall season event

[Debow]

Champ started with a double on 10 and then went birdie-birdie-birdie-Eagle on 15-18

[GMR]

Leading now... Didn't see that coming 11 holes in after that first one!

[flushem]

At the last moment, I changed my bet to Spaun. He now is leading. YEAH!!!!

[the bishop]

Jason Gore and Retief Goosen paired today. Wonder if they played a $10 nassau?

[elwhippy]

The venue and surrounding area look stunning. No wonder over 20 PGA players live on the island.

... And at least 10 caddies ?

[Creedo77]

Spaun...

 

 

Put down $40 to win $360 on him when I saw the leaderboard this afternoon

I hope that his will to win is strong enough. It will be exciting to watch the battle between Champ and Spaun.

hottest thing on tour right now. with the goat hibernating and all.

I only live about two hours from the course and always mean to come to this tournament every year. Wish it was during the regular season, because it’s such a nice area and course.

[green.tea]

I love the Golden Isles. St Simons Island is awesome.

 

I’m sure people are going to get tired of hearing his name so often but damn Champ is fun to watch out there

Hansel, he's so hot right now, Hansel.

 

Can't wait to see both on the field. I'm not completely sold on Champ as of yet, but he has tons of talent for sure.

Watching a replay and man theres like 5 people in tne galleries. Really sad. Like watching a web evemt

It is a beautiful area. Back in 96-98, I was a firearms instructor at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynco, GA and when we had a chance we would tee up in courses around that area.

 

Beautiful indeed!

This event really got the shaft when they moved it to the wrap around season the week before Thanksgiving..

With that said it's great to see Champ playing well again. Maybe I'll tune in this weekend if the kid is still in contention.
