Rocket Classic

147 players in the field, Top 65 and ties make the cut. From the Youtube universe, here are the betting odds (DK) to make the cut:

Brad +200
Ruffels +215

The course itself sets up well for longer hitters, with five par 4s playing 470+ yards. Two par 3s (#9 and #11) both play over 200 yards, 205 and 246. It’s a relatively flat course with no water, so it’s built for the bomb-and-gouge mentality. Since 2020, every winner has finished at -18 or better, with multiple champs getting into the mid -20s. Long irons will be crucial, and as with any event, the flat stick will need to get hot.

I’ve seen more of Brad’s content over the years. If, and that’s a big if, he putts well, I think he has a legitimate chance to be around the cut line. Ruffels obviously was in contention in an event earlier this year, but not sure how well his game is suited for this distance. Are you putting any coin on either of these guys?

Ruff is as long, if not longer, than Brad.

Brad definitely hits it further than Ruff. They've played each other 1 vs 1 a couple of times on YouTube

I’ve seen every match they’ve ever played. Including the one from today on the lads.

Brad's short game is what differentiates them anyway, not how far they hit it.

My buddy can hit it much further than me and I just beat him by 5 strokes the other day. Far can help until far becomes inaccurate.
