Golf best bets: Picks for the RSM Classic

The only weak spot in Poston's game right now is his driving, but his lack of distance won't matter much on a short golf course this week. 

Eric Cole > Brian Harman (+105 DraftKings)

This is strictly a play against Brian Harman, who hasn't teed it up on the PGA Tour since the Tour Championship in August. It's safe to assume he's been enjoying his much-deserved time off after his Open Championship victory and his first Ryder Cup appearance.

Thankfully, he's matched up against a scorching hot player in Eric Cole. Cole has three top-five finishes in his last four starts and hasn't missed a cut since May. He's also been on fire with his irons, gaining strokes on approach in 12 straight starts. We'll take the hot player at plus money over a guy who hasn't played much competitive golf over the last few months. 

Mackenzie Hughes top Canadian (+450 DK)

This is a decent dart throw at a great price. There are only five Canadian golfers in the field this week, and Mackenzie Hughes is the fourth option despite having a win and a solo second at Sea Island Golf Club in his career.

Corey Conners has played this golf course well, but he hasn't played on the PGA Tour since the Tour Championship. Adam Svensson won the RSM Classic last year, but he missed the cut here twice in a row before then. Taylor Pendrith is playing well but doesn't have the same course history Hughes does, and Michael Gligic isn't a serious contender in this market.
