Palmetto Championship betting tips
As always I’m joined by Steve Carroll on the Dialled In podcast to discuss my picks for the Palmetto Championship.

Bazza’s Banker: Brooks Koepka @ 8/1 with Bet365
The bookmakers almost learnt a stark lesson at the PGA Championship – underestimate Koepka at your peril. They certainly haven’t made that mistake this week, but I like his chances nonetheless at an event where his stats match the challenge. In the last three months, Koepka ranks 8th for SG: Off-the-Tee, 2nd for SG: Tee-to-Green and 12th for SG: Around-the-Green. Entering this event off the back of a runner-up finish at the PGA and looking like he has shaken off the post-injury rust, Koepka is a banker for me this week.
The Outsider: Keith Mitchell @ 33/1 with Bet365
Mitchell is an interesting contender at this event, with some solid form in recent weeks that has not necessarily been reflected in his price. In the last five events that he has played, Mitchell has secured a 3rd and 4th place finish, with a respectable 26th also thrown in for good measure. Mitchell is also strong Off-the-Tee, ranking 21st for this stat in the last three months. At a big price for a PGA Tour winner with strong recent form, I like his chances this week.
