 No. 14 Brad Dalke (a)

Dalke is another 19-year-old in the field thanks to his runner-up finish in the match play finals at the US Amateur Championship. The University of Oklahoma sophomore has been on big stages before. Dalke played on a winning 2014 Junior Ryder Cup Team, on the 2016 American Eisenhower Trophy team and teed it up in the 2016 Valero Texas Open, where he missed the cut.

The WAGR No. 96 hasn’t exactly lit it up for the Sooners in his sophomore campaign. Dalke’s best finish is a T18 in eight events. His Twitter game is strong, though, with the handle @DalkeKong.

Odds to win: +100000
