The PGA Tour season continues this week as it visits Sea Island Golf Club for the 2022 RSM Classic. Read on below to see our prediction for who will win the tournament, as well as our top 10, dark horse, and player to fade predictions.
Player to Fade: Conner Godsey- Never heard of him. Wish him all the best.
Dark Horse: Alex Smalley- I’ve seen Smalley getting some love lately for his performance thus far this season, so I’ll give him a shot this week. Smalley finished T-4 last weekend,and has finished in the Top 25 in 3 of his last 4 starts this season. Expect him to be 4 for 5 after this weekend.
Top 10: Seamus Power- Having a relatively solid season thus far and already with a win at the Butterfield a couple of weeks ago, Power will likely hold his own this weekend. The current FedEx Cup points leader ranks 15th on the Tour in Strokes Gained: Putting, along with ranking 10th in Birdie Average. Power is a sure fire lock for a Top 10 spot this weekend.
Winner: Mackenzie Hughes: Already a winner on the young season, Hughes figures to be a contender this week at Sea Island. He is currently 3rd in FedEx Cup points, and averaging a 69 scorecard. I predict Hughes continues his winning ways and picks up a win at the RSM this weekend!
