  • Troy Merritt– 4 shots back (+6600 BetRivers) – Gained 3.27 ball-striking on Thursday. Loves this course. Early tee-time wind advantage.
  • Kurt Kitayama – 3 shots back (+4000 DraftKings) – Gained 4.02 ball-striking. Three top-15s in the last 10 weeks. Early tee-time wind advantage.
  • Sahith Theegala – 4 shots back (+3500 DraftKings) – Talented, streaky birdie-maker who should thrive in the morning’s calmer conditions. I expect him to make run up the leaderboard tomorrow.

Weather Forecast – Detroit, MI

There appears to be a slight advantage for the morning wave of golfers at Detroit Golf Club on Friday. It probably will not be as much as Thursday’s 1.2 stroke advantage that the early players had. Nevertheless, it, along with the natural advantage of playing in the morning, is enough to favor a majority of morning golfers for tomorrow’s Showdown slate.
