DraftKings Sportsbook<\/a>.<\/p>\nNovak won the team-based Zurich Classic with Ben Griffin as his partner in April, and Novak has been very close to securing his first PGA TOUR win as an individual many times this season. Some of Novak\u2019s close calls include a third place finish at the Farmers Insurance Open, a T3 at the Valero Texas Open, a runner-up at the RBC Heritage and most recently, a T6 at last week\u2019s FedEx St. Jude Championship. During this start, Novak carded a 6-under 64 in the second round, and he led the world-class field in par five efficiency at TPC Southwind.<\/p>\n
Novak\u2019s success at the FedEx St. Jude Championship was a continuation of a common trend for the 30-year-old, in that he loves competing at events that don\u2019t feature a cut. In Novak\u2019s five starts at no-cut tournaments this season, he has finished T17th or better four times. <\/p>\n
Novak ranks sixth among this field in strokes gained per round at no-cut events this season. He is worth a flier this week at this long +7500 price.<\/p>\n
Stevens has recorded eight top-25 finishes in 25 solo starts this season, and Caves Valley being home to bentgrass greens is terrific news for the 29-year-old. Stevens has contended twice in the last few months, finishing third at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson in May and runner-up at the 3M Open last month, both of which are tournaments that are held at courses that feature bentgrass putting surfaces.<\/p>\n
Among this week\u2019s stacked field, Stevens ranks seventh in strokes gained per round at venues with bentgrass greens this season. The Oklahoma State University product\u2019s ball striking has been up-and-down recently \u2014 he ranks 30th in SGT2G when we compare this field\u2019s last 24 rounds. That said, if Stevens can find some life in that department to pair with his expertise as a bentgrass putter, he could thrive at Caves Valley this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alex Hunter details some of his favorite longshot outright winner bets for the BMW Championship at Caves Valley…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":64945,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443],"tags":[49,48,622,15225,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-64944","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-golf","11":"tag-rail","12":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64944","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64944"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64944\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/64945"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64944"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64944"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64944"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
