McGladrey Classic Golf Tips: John Rollins
Tee to green no one is playing better. If the putter warms up, he will go very close.
Last year Heath Slocum hit 80% of fairways on his way to victory. Quality off the tee box is the key to winning the McGladery Classic. Ranking second on tour for total driving there aren’t many better than John Rollins.
The 36-year-old American is having a solid year with three top-tens and well over $1million in prize money. It is putting that has stopped him competing on a more regular basis come Sunday.
A T6 at the Frys.com Open last week signals a return to form. Rollins was 2nd for driving accuracy, 4th for driving distance and T5 for GIRs. If he had sunk a few more putts he would have won.
The rest of his game is in fine shape and if the flat stick gets hot he could make a mockery of his 66/1 quote. Back him each way with Ladbrokes and get the best each way terms, ¼ odds for a top six finish.
