2020 USPGA Championship Golf – Final Round Tips and Betting Preview

The first major champion of 2020 will be crowned on Sunday when the final round of the USPGA Championship is played out at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco, and with a bunched up leaderboard full of quality we are set for quite some night of golf.

As yet nobody has really been able to overpower the course and with conditions getting tougher all the time and the pressure intensifying as the end is in sight, this final round could scarcely be better set up for a thrilling finale.

Round 3 Recap

After three rounds of golf it is the former US Open champion Dustin Johnson who will take a one shot lead into the final 18 holes. He sits on nine under and leads by one from Scottie Scheffler and the first of our pre-tournament outright picks Cameron Champ. The second of our picks is in a group on seven under in the form of Collin Morikawa. Paul Casey and the defending champion Brooks Koepka are also in that group. There is a hefty group on six under just three off the lead which includes our other outright pick Jason Day as well as the in form Bryson DeChambeau and Daniel Berger. Justin Rose and Tony Finau are also in that group. Xander Schauffele is a further shot back.

It was a perfect day for us betting wise to make up for the mess of Friday. We went in with two bets for the third round, both of which were two ball bets and happily they both won. Not only did they win but they were comfortably ahead early on so we weren’t made to sweat or anything. The first was on Matthew Wolff to beat Alex Noren and he duly did so by five shots. The second bet we went with was for Cameron Champ to take care of Mike Lorenzo-Vera and the big hitting American star thrashed the Frenchman by five shots to set us up nicely for Sunday.

Sunday Betting

There are markets to get stuck into on Sunday, most obviously the outright market, but with three players in the top 10, one shot, two shots and three shots back there is absolutely no need to get involved in that market again. With two of our outrights in the penultimate group we’ll be hoping the leading duo struggle to get going and then the college pairing of Champ and Morikawa could be in business. There are a few other finishing position markets to look at but this is an incredibly bunched leaderboard with the pressure on so I’m pretty happy with the positions we have in the outright market and am happy for my extra Sunday betting to come in the form of the two balls.

Sunday 2 Balls

The players will finish the tournament by going out in twos which means that the last pair off the first tee will be Dustin Johnson and Scottie Scheffler. They go out at 21.50 BST while our two outright picks go out 10 minutes before them when Cameron Champ and Collin Morikawa take to the course. Many think the winner could come from the 21.30 tee time which sees Paul Casey and Brooks Koepka onto the golf course together. Much earlier in the day a lot of the TV attention will be on the group with Tiger Woods and Tom Hoge while Adam Scott and Charl Schwartzel will be paired together. It has been a good week for us so far and we’ll finish it off with the one bet.

Daniel Berger vs Tommy Fleetwood

Match tees off at 21.00 BST

Two men who will begin the final round three off the lead of Dustin Johnson are paired together in what is quite an attractive two ball when Daniel Berger and Tommy Fleetwood look to win the competition and their first major championship as a result.

Here in the UK, Fleetwood naturally gets a lot of attention because he is one of the best in Europe but if we are being honest he hasn’t had his best stuff with him here apart from the second round when it has to be said he was out in very calm conditions. That isn’t the case with Berger. He has continued the form which has seen him win the Charles Schwab Challenge and come second at the WGC last week since lockdown and if his putter had cooperated on Saturday he would have been under par for all three rounds quite comfortably. Berger is flushing it from tee to green at the minute and I’m not quite sure the tip top game of Fleetwood is here so I’ll back Berger to make the necessary adjustments with the putter to ensure he wins this two ball regardless of whether he is good enough to win the tournament or not.
