PGA Value Breakdown: RBC Canadian Open

Selecting the absolute best value out there is crucial to cruising to top of the leaderboards. PGA guru Josh “futureoffantasy” Culp dives into the player pool, picking out his favorite value options for the week’s tournament.

RBC Canadian Open

Coming back down from a phenomenal week in Scotland, we head to Ontario for the RBC Candian Open.

We have a pretty strong field assembled to take on Glen Abbey Golf Club. Perhaps they want to play the course before it gets demolished or maybe they just want a warmup for Akron.

While the top is pretty stacked for a mid-tier event, the field thins out pretty quickly after that. Let’s dive through the field to see if we can find some good value plays which will allow us to fit as many of those studs as possible.

Stewart Cink ($7100 DK / $9500 FD / $14100 FDRFT)

Cink is 3-for-4 at Glen Abbey. He’s settled for T62 and MC here the last two trips but he really popped with T5s and T4s in 2015 and 2004, respectively. It may seem like too far back to really value results from 2004 but it’s not that odd when you consider Cink is turning back the clocks recently. After a top-10 drought that lasted more than a year, he went T4-T2 at the St Jude Classic and Travelers Championship recently. He’s slowed down a bit in his most recent two starts, but still managed top 25s in those. Cink is red hot and has good course memories to lean on this week. When a six-time TOUR winner flashes this time of form, it is usually wise to jump along for the ride.
