We are heating up in advance of the PGA Championship next week, as it was a perfect 5-0 with the matchups last week at the Wells Fargo Championship. This week the PGA Tour heads to Texas for the AT&T Byron Nelson where World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is listed as the golf betting favorite. It is a strong field this week with a number of top-ranked players using the tournament as a prep for next week’s PGA and this course at TPC Craig Ranch is easy, so scores are going to be low. I am always somewhat leery the week following a perfect showing, as there is only one way to go and that is down, but I’ll look to keep the winning streak going. Let’s look at this week’s AT&T Byron Nelson matchup picks.

Golf Picks

Xander Schauffele -120 vs. Hideki Matsuyama

Xander Schauffele is a player who can shoot low scores and there is no question that the winner this week is going to make a lot of birdies. Schauffele may also play better now that he kind of has the monkey off his back, as he got a win with Patrick Cantlay in the team event in New Orleans. Matsuyama has not played since the Masters and I don’t know that he immediately gets into top form. I will take Schauffele in this matchup.

Aaron Wise -130 vs. Mackenzie Hughes

Wise is having a solid season and he is coming off a tie for 6^th in his last start at Vidanta. He has six Top 25 finishes this season. He also ranks well in GIR, as he is 18^th on the PGA Tour. I will lay the small price and take Wise in this matchup.

Jhonattan Vegas -120 vs. Jason Kokrak

Vegas is playing really well with three finishes in the Top 18 in his last three starts. He played well in this event a year ago with a tie for 9^th. He was solid in his distance off the tee and he finished highly in GIR. I will take him in this matchup against Kokrak.

Adam Hadwin -114 vs. Alex Noren

Hadwin was one of my picks in the odds article and he checks all of the boxes for this course. I think Hadwin is underrated overall and he doesn’t get the respect he deserves. I’ll lay the small price and take Hadwin in this matchup.

Talor Gooch -125 vs. Maverick McNealy

It would not surprise me to see Gooch win this week. He is a player who can go low, as he leads the PGA Tour in eagles. He is also tied for 19^th in GIR. He is tied for 4^th in par-5 scoring. I think he is a good choice in this matchup against McNealy.
