And with a restricted box this week whilst beginning at 5 below, we love his probabilities of a success debut at East Lake.
–Rory McIlroy Best Nice Britain/Eire Finisher (-120 at DraftKings): There is something about East Lake and McIlroy that have compatibility smartly.

However that is additionally a shot forward of Shane Lowry (+550), two forward of Robert MacIntyre (+850), 3 forward of Tommy Fleetwood (+320) and 4 forward of Aaron Rai (+1000). McIlroy did end T11 closing week regardless of failing to crack 70 all week.
