After a week in the Low Country, the PGA Tour is in Southhampton, Bermuda, for the Butterfield Bermuda Championship.
Last year at Port Royal Golf Course, Lucas Herbert was able to fend off current LIV Golf member Patrick Reed and Danny Lee to win by one with a score of 15-under 269.
Denny McCarthy enters as the betting favorite at +1500, while Seamus Power and Mark Hubbard are two of the four names at +2000. McCarthy has one top-25 finish so far this season (T-25, Fortinet) and tied for 37th at last week’s CJ Cup at Congaree.
Defending champion Herbert is not in the field.

Another one.
In total, I had action on six players in South Carolina. I posted four names on Twitter, three in my week preview — one being Mr. McIlroy. I had Matt Fitzpatrick in both places.
Although we cashed an outright, the 7/1 value had us up just three units at Congaree, but we’ll take it.
