Golf Course

Oak Hill Country Club
Location: Rochester, New York
Designer: Donald Ross
Par 70 — 7,394 yards
Fairway width: 27-28 yards on average
Green type and speed: bentgrass, 12-13 on the stimp
Green size: 4,500 square feet on average

Course Notes

Course has hosted many major championships, but huge renovations since the last one in 2013. Added nearly 400 yards to the scorecard and removed hundreds of trees.
Fairways are extremely narrow for the length of the course
Greens are extremely small and will be tough to hit
Driver-heavy course, but finding fairways will be difficult
Bunkers could provide problems, especially the fairways bunkers
Weather will be cool and we could have some rain
Personally expecting the winning score in the single digits

What to Look For

Major experience (most notably PGA Championship & US Open)
Strokes gained approach (emphasis on long irons)
Strokes gained off the tee (emphasis on distance)
Bogey Avoidance
Strokes gained around the green
Strokes gained putting (with a lean to bentgrass splits)
Solid all-around

Scores And Odds

When betting on golf, every edge matters. Rather than scouring sportsbooks for the best odds each week, use the Scores and Odds golf page. You can compare odds from all books for each market — outright, top five, top 10, etc. The tool is FREE and can save you time and money.

We’ve hit the last two winners with Wyndham Clark and Jason Day. Let’s keep it rolling at the PGA Championship.
