Rickie Fowler +5000

There is some incredible value at the Masters this year. I’m going with Mr. Puma as my next selection. +5000 for someone in a limited field (less than 100) that has had mild success at Augusta is a bet I’m willing to take every time.

Where Oosthuizen has found top 25’s a few times, Fowler has done even better. Other than a missed cut back in 2016, Fowler has finished T-5, T-12, T-11, 2nd, and T-9th in his last five Masters.

Are you serious? He is averaging a finish of 8th place over the last five Masters (again, throwing out the MC), and he comes in at +5000. You would think he has more wins, but Fowler has just five PGA Tour wins under his bright orange belt, and is yet to find a major win.

If Fowler gets hot to start, he is going to be at the top of the leaderboard come Sunday. He has shown an ability to get hot over the weekend, as he did in 2019. After opening with rounds of 71-70, he would finish out by shooting 68-69 to once again get into the top ten. I think he does that once again and finds himself in contention to win the 2020 Masters.
