I’ll take two in this +10000 range this week beginning with a man who played excellent in Phoenix last week Matthew NeSmith. 

NeSmith unquestionably had his best start of 2021 last week and if it were not for some errant drives in his second round could have well and truly found himself near the top of things on Sunday.  As it was Matthew still closed his event with a  5 under par round four.

The 27-year-old gained in four of the five statistical categories last week and he gained big numbers with his approach play over his last two starts now. NeSmith was 11th at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in 2020.

Scott Stallings +12500

Stallings will make for my last addition to the card this week. Scott played well in Phoenix last time out and he has a history of having success at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in the past.

Scott comes into this week having gained with his approach numbers now in three consecutive events and with finishes of 3rd, 7th, and 14th in three of his last four starts at Pebble I’ll take a chance that his game is gearing into shape just in time for this week.

I’ll be looking to add top 10 and top 20 placements on both of the guys in this range as well.
