BMW Championship Tips: Hideki Matsuyama

BMW Championship Tips: Hideki Matsuyama

Crooked Stick lends itself to elite ball-strikers and Matsuyama fits the bill tee-to-green.

Hideki Matsuyama is playing Crooking Stick for the first time but the Peter Dye course looks right up his street. When it hosted the BMW Championship in 2012 the leaderboard was packed full of elite ball-strikers.

The top-5 averaged in the top-10 for birdie average, strokes gained with approach shots and strokes gained tee-to-green for the entire season. Hideki Matsuyama is ranked fifth, third and fifth for the same metrics and is statistically a perfect fit.


The 24-year-old also arrives at the BMW Championship in good form with finishes of T4-T3-MC-T15 in his last four starts. As a further bonus, he finished T7 at the Players on Peter Dye’s most iconic layout – the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass.

Everything points to a big week and Matsuyama is a cracking bet at 40/1 (BetVictor) with ¼ odds for a top-5 finish.
