2020 Farmers Insurance Open Fantasy Sleeper Report

Fans of sleeper bets will be drawing huge red arrows on their 2021 calendar in readiness for the next edition of The American Express.

Just 12 months ago, Adam Long defied logic to win this event at handy sportsbook odds of 500/1.

Fast forward to last week, and once a champion emerged in La Quinta who few people – if anybody – could have predicted.

Andrew Landry, a 175/1 chance before a ball had been struck, made light work of a string of form that read MC-MC-MC-MC-MC to triumph on the west coast, outdoing the fast-finishing Abraham Ancer to take the spoils by two shots.

Quite what clicked for Landry is anybody’s guess, but once he found something in his swing the relative ease of the three courses on the rotation allowed him to continue firing at pins with gay abandon.

That won’t be the modus operandi at Torrey Pines this week, home to the Farmers Insurance Open.

This tends to be one of the classier events on the calendar, with a tough host venue (Torrey Pines South, a decent assignment plays host to three of the four rounds, the easier North the other) that rewards length and accuracy off the tee, not to mention some laser-like approaches.

This is the proverbial ball strikers test, and these tend to bring the best out of the quality operators in the field – Rose, Rahm, Day and Snedeker are the most recent champions here.

So, this arguably isn’t the best of events for sleeper backers, although the likes of Scott Stallings and Ben Crane have won here, so let’s not give up the ghost just yet.
