Favorites for the Rocket Mortgage Classic

After the events of last weeks Travelers Championship in which Scottie Scheffler won his insane sixth win of the year. Now, this week is the Rocket Mortgage where Rickie Fowler won for his first time in six years. This year, we will be going through the favorites for this years Rocket Mortgage Classic.

Akshay Bhatia

Akshay Bhatia is now 15th in the FedEx Cup standings and 29th in the OWGR. This is going to be his eighth straight week playing because he thinks his game is where he wants it to be. He already has one win this season at just 22 years old where most of the people his age are still on the Korn Ferry or in college. His one win at the Valero Texas Open is very solid, and he's looking to make it two wins this upcoming weekend.

Tom Kim

Tom Kim is another one of those golfers that is just red hot right now, as the twenty-two year old got second place to the best golfer in the world in a playoff. He is currently 16th in the OWGR, and he is one of the best and most accurate golfers on the tour which a skill that will be needed if he wants to win this weekend. Like I said, Kim is on fire so if he keeps it going, he has a real shot at winning this weekend. 

Cameron Young

We said that Tom Kim was on fire, than Cameron Young must be burning. He shot only the thirteenth ever sub-60 round on Saturday, and shot -4 on Sunday for a total of -17, good for ninth place on the day. He could really come in and light this course up, just like he did last weekend. So, Mr. 59 might be one of the top dogs this weekend and don't be surprised if he even comes out with the win.
