Alexander Bjork   $21, 1 unit

Alexander Bjork has been on fire the season and has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the lack of elite talent on the Tour this year, with several key Europeans committing to a full PGA Tour schedule.

The Swede leads the DP World Tour in stroke average, boasting an average score of 69.5 over 68 rounds. No one else in the top 5 has played more than 50 rounds.

The problem for Bjork is that this has led to zero wins, and he’s running out of time to take advantage of what has been the best season of his career.

Bjork is inside the top 10 for Par 3 and Par 4 Scoring, and whilst his lack of distance typically handicaps him on the Par 5s and in general on Tour, that won’t be the case this week.

Last year’s US Open champion is the 8-1 favourite, with everyone else in the field at least double those odds.

The world No 8 is clearly in a different league, and he also boasts a great record in this event – back-to-back victories in 2017 and 2018, and a runner-up finish in 2015.

But he has not been here since 2019 as he has played most of his golf in the States. And after a hectic recent schedule, it is debatable whether he would be lining up this time if the Ryder Cup was not just around the corner.

Fitzpatrick needs a top seven finish to knock Tommy Fleetwood out of the final qualifying place on the world points list. That will be his priority rather than a third win, and that could open the door to the bigger priced players.
