The Road to Cheltenham 2022 Week 4 Bet 3

The Masters starts today and SkyBet are offering the following promotion
“Place a £5+ bet on the ‘Hotshots’ market at The Masters and get a £1 free bet for every birdie or better your player makes during the first round of the tournament”
By “hotshots” they mean enhanced singles only and each player has been boosted by at least a point.
Professional Golf is something I know absolutely Nothing about. So what if its a sport somebody will have compiled stats.
There are a few stats sites for golf and most of them want paying for their work but The PGA tour site seems to have the basics and is completely and utterly free and completely and utterly confusing !
I will share with you the information Sky Bet gives:

  • Round 1 2020 was a record low score at the Masters
  • D.Johnson: 6 Birdies/Eagles in Round 1 2020
  • J.Thomas: 7 Birdies/Eagles in Round 1 2020
  • B.Dechambeau: 9 Birdies/Eagles in Round 1 2019

Justin Thomas is my pick for this years Masters with SkyBet because his round 1 scoring average (which is what we are looking for) after playing 18 first rounds is 69.44. His 7 Birdies/Eagles last November has conviced me that my fiver is as good on him as anyone.
How can anyone predict who will win a game of golf????
