PrizePicks Plays: Round 1 of the John Deere Classic

Maverick McNealy gets the early wave on Thursday, and that comes with less wind than the afternoon forecast. He ranks 10th in Ron’s final model this week, coming in at number 3 in SG: Total over the last 12 months.

Chez Reavie is built for courses like this. He’s averaging 15.0 GIR per round here over the past five years and ranks 19th in this field in SG: APP over the past 20 rounds. He has three T15 or better finishes in the last five starts, so the form is excellent.

Zach Johnson has averaged 11.3 fairways per round at this event over the past five years. His track record here is excellent, and 10/14 fairways is a comfortable ask for him given his track record.
