Travelers Championship Golf Tips: JB Holmes
The biggest hitter on tour. This birdie machine could take the golf course apart.
As discussed in our trends analysis, TPC River Highlands is one of the easiest courses on the circuit. To win you need to make birdies and there aren’t many better at that than JB Holmes.
The longest hitter on tour, the American should be able to overpower the course. His best finish of 2011 was a tied fifth at the Phoenix Open, another birdie fest. As a quirky parallel, the Travelers Championship is the second best attended tour event, after Phoenix. The general public love watching players go low and perhaps the crowd can inspire him again.
Ranking 5th on tour for par breakers and 6th in birdie or better conversions, when on form the man from Kentucky can destroy a course. At a tournament where you need to be in the red, it should be elementary for JB Holmes.
Back him each way at 50/1 with the bookmakers paying ¼ odds for a top five finish.
