2022 RSM Classic Fantasy Sleeper Report

You wait for five years for a PGA TOUR win to come along, and then three appear in quick succession!

Whatever has clicked for Tony Finau should be bottled and sold in stores, because he has gone from talented underachiever to bona fide stud in the blink of an eye.

Finau has now won three PGA TOUR events in his last seven outings, with victory at the Houston Open his most comprehensive yet.

Heading into the back nine on Sunday, Finau led the field by eight strokes – it’s the rarest of animals these days for a player to effectively lap the rest. But that’s how good Tony was, delivering a performance of mind-boggling statistics in which he eld pretty much any metric of significance.

You can tell the good vibes are flowing in the Finau camp now because he’s even agreed to make the trip to St. Simons Island, our host this week for the RSM Classic.

Our two courses, Seaside and Plantation, at the Sea Island resort are both short, tight and battered by ocean winds, so it’s not the ideal trip for anyone other than plotters, plotters and gnarled veterans.

But Finau fancies the gig – more power to him, and he’ll be taking on fellow recent TOUR winners such as Seamus Power and MacKenzie Hughes, as well as the likes of Kevin Kisner, Justin Rose and Jason Day. It’s not the strongest field in the world, and an event that has been won by Robert Streb (350/1), Tyler Duncan (150/1) and Austin Cook (90/1) in recent times reveals just how unpredictable things are on the island.

The wind will be a major factor, as will cool temperatures and some rather slick greens on the Seaside course, which hosts 54 of the 72 holes to be played by the field. Although large in stature, these Bermuda surfaces are undulating and quick, and this is where the tournament will be won or lost you fancy.

Given the nature of the past winners, you might be well served sticking all of the players’ names in a pinata, bashing it with a three-wood and then backing who drops out first. However, in the spirit of ending the Fall season on a high, here’s our five sleeper picks for the RSM Classic.
