ODDS ANALYSIS
Kevin Kisner + 2052 is climbing up the rankings and proving that he is a world class player. Kisner currently ranks No. 18 in the world and is somewhat quietly turning into a great player. After three playoff losses last year, the cocky Georgian finally got the monkey off his back with a win in Sea Island at the RSM Classic.
Patrick Reed + 925 is another player on a roll. Reed finished the year by reeling off 6 consecutive top tens, world wide. He is becoming one of the most consistent players in the world and gaining the respect he deserves. Reed will start 2016 like he finished 2015, hot, red hot!!
Long shots, include Bill Haas + 6916 and rookie Emiliano Grillo + 5926. Grillo makes his first visit to Kapalua and will feel right at home in the tropical atmosphere of Maui. Haas is no stranger to the Plantation Course and always gets off to a fast start on the “West Coast Swing.” Look for both players to be in the mix and contend this week.
