Sleeper Picks: Genesis Scottish Open

Key Points:

• Corey Conners, despite only one top-10 finish and being 62nd in the FedExCup, is notable for his consistency with just one missed cut in his last 14 starts and a strong recent performance at the Travelers Championship; he is also undefeated at The Renaissance Club with a top-10 finish in 2024.
• Matti Schmid has four top-10 finishes out of his four top-35 results this PGA TOUR season, including a recent T4 at the PGA Championship, and is coming off a T23 at the BMW International Open; he showed promise with a T17 at The Renaissance Club last year.
• Aldrich Potgieter, the longest hitter on the PGA TOUR, is improving physically and has matched last season’s cuts made total early in the year, with strong performances in recent events and a solid scoring average, making him a player to watch as the tournament progresses.
• Kota Kaneko, a 23-year-old rookie on the DP World Tour, has already won once this season and ranks 14th in the Race to Dubai, with strong accuracy and putting skills; he is currently the third highest-ranked Japanese golfer globally and had a standout previous season in Japan.
