I also played this 4-Banger on Underdog to kick things off Thursday. There’s been a tiny bit of rain in the area with relatively no wind for round one. Should be target golf for these guys.

BETS
Keeping it light on volume this week on the betting front. This is what happens when you go to the top of the board.
Scottie Scheffler —This Olympics field and structure is much like the PGA Tour’s signature event, but with worse players. If there’s one thing Scottie has dominated all year, it’s the no cut, small field tournaments. Also, his odds this week aren’t dissimilar than he has been in Majors with 80 more (and a lot better) players in the field.
Shubhankar Sharma — Sharma is actually riding in with pretty legit form for someone at the bottom of the odds board. Beyond finishing Top 20 at The Open, he was T5 in Italy, then led all player in approach at the Scottish Open (T39).

Course/Tournament Notes
Course: Le Golf National’s Albatros
Yardage: 7,174
Par: 71
Le Golf National hosts the Open de France on the European Tour, the oldest national open in continental Europe. First played at Le Golf National in 1991, it has been held there every year since, except on two occasions (1999, 2001).
Le Golf National superintendent Lucas Pierre explained that the first cut of rough (2.5 inches) and second cut (3.5 inches) that was eliminated back in 2018 at European captain Thomas Bjorn’s choosing has been re-implemented for these games.
Pierre reassures American fears by confirming that the Olympic course will return to its original rough levels that Bjorn had eliminated, utilizing three gradual cuts of rough instead of maintaining a single level. Though the width of the fairways haven't changed, the effective landing areas will be more forgiving with the first cut back.
For the Ryder Cup, the course was very narrow with the natural rough much closer to the fairway,” Pierre told Golf Digest. “It will be opened a bit more for the Olympics.”
