From round score to fairways hit, fantasy points to greens in regulation, their offerings are unmatched in the industry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alex Noren &#8211; 2.5 Bogeys or Worse (LOWER)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Alex Noren has been one of the most consistent golfers on the planet in 2024. He&#8217;s really only flirted with the top of the board once, but he&#8217;s in the midst of eight straight T24 or better finishes. His 10.1% bogey rate is the lowest in this field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Taylor Pendrith &#8211; 3.5 Birdies or Better (HIGHER)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before missing the cut at Valhalla, Taylor Pendrith was playing as well as he has at any point in his career. He finished T11 or better in four straight starts, one of which was his first career victory at the Byron Nelson. He&#8217;s ninth in this week&#8217;s field in birdie or better rate (23.9%), and he&#8217;s gained strokes putting in nine of his past 10 events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aaron Rai &#8211; 2.5 Bogeys or Worse (LOWER)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Aaron Rai, the prince of Round 1, has the seventh-lowest bogey rate in this week&#8217;s field at 12.3%. To the surprise of no one, it&#8217;s even lower on Thursday&#8217;s (11.5%). Rai&#8217;s been playing well, and his ability to find the fairways at an elite clip keeps him in the mix. He is a fantastic fit for what&#8217;s needed at Hamilton Golf and Country Club this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tommy Fleetwood &#8211; 2.5 Bogeys or Worse (LOWER)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tommy Lad is like Aaron Rai on steroids or like Aaron Rai with just one white glove. Something like that. He&#8217;ll repeatedly put himself in position to score off the tee, and his top-10 bogey avoidance rate (12.9%) has been even lower during the first round this year (11.1%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-11.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10961\" width=\"251\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-11.png 335w, https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-11-209x300.png 209w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 251px) 100vw, 251px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RBC Canadian Open Underdog Plays \u2013 Round 1<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":7777,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":""},"bs_types":[15],"bs_tags":[29,73,157],"class_list":["post-10960","article","type-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","bs_type-fantasy","bs_tag-golf-betting","bs_tag-golf-dfs","bs_tag-underdog"],"acf":false,"featured_image":"https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/gettyimages-1491518310-612x612-1.jpg","tags_list":[{"id":29,"name":"Golf Betting","slug":"golf-betting"},{"id":73,"name":"Golf DFS","slug":"golf-dfs"},{"id":157,"name":"Underdog","slug":"underdog"}],"types_list":[{"id":15,"name":"Fantasy"}],"bs_author":{"name":"Ryan Noonan","profile_image":"https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Ryan-Noonan-150x150.jpg"},"bs_term_name":null,"is_paid":"false","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/10960","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/article"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7777"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"bs_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bs_types?post=10960"},{"taxonomy":"bs_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bs_tags?post=10960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
