Sleeper Picks: Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide

Doc Redman … The strength of the fields since play has resumed has generated an unusual dynamic; that is, I’ve left a couple of Sleepers on the cutting-room floor to honor the cap of five per tournament. For instance, in the discussion thread beneath this space for the Travelers Championship and later in the same day that it published, I cited Redman as one of three others who deserved consideration for that tournament. Lo and behold, he finished a season-best T11. (Mackenzie Hughes, who finished T3, and Brice Garnett, who missed the cut, were the other two.) Redman led the field at TPC River Highlands in Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee and finished second in proximity. That’s his profile, but he’s flashed good putting at times, too, including slotting 17th in Strokes Gained on the greens en route to a T21 at Detroit GC two weeks ago. He’s 4-for-4 in the restart with three straight top 25s running. Lucas Glover … Only he, Bryson DeChambeau and Viktor Hovland recorded a top 25 in each of the first four events of the restart. (Only Hovland competed in the Workday Charity Open, placing third.) Suffice it to say that the hiatus did Glover good given that he connected on only one top 35 prior to it this season (T9, Shriners). Since a T8 in his debut at Muirfield Village way back in 2005, he hasn’t finished inside the top 30, but he hasn’t skipped a trip. The long-hitting sharpshooter arrives having survived his last six cuts on the course. Troy Merritt … As one of three co-leaders at the midpoint of last year’s Memorial before settling for a share of 17th place, he’s back for redemption in what is his fifth career start since his rookie season of 2010. Throughout his career, he’s done just about everything well at times and on average, but like many of his brethren, his weakness is inconsistency in the crosshairs of a projection. However, primarily because he finished inside the top 15 in greens in regulation in his last two starts, the strong putter logged a T8 at the Rocket Mortgage Classic and a T22 at the Workday Charity Open. Matthias Schwab … The 25-year-old from Austria remains on the prowl for his first victory on the European Tour where he’s in his third season. He placed 17th in the Race to Dubai in 2019 with a pair of runner-up finishes and a third among 10 top 10s. He opened 2020 by going 5-for-5 with a pair of top 25s, but he hasn’t played anywhere in over four months. A T4 at the co-sanctioned World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions last fall and a T42 at the WGC-Mexico Championship yielded the aggregate equivalent of 133.317 FedExCup points. That would rank the PGA TOUR non-member 155th among members. While he’s only a little over 63 points shy of slotting inside the top 125, he needs another 155 points to qualify for Special Temporary Membership this season. The only golfer to achieve STM in 2019-20 is his former teammate at Vanderbilt, Will Gordon. Andy Ogletree … The irony of the pandemic that affects all of us is that it impacts each of us uniquely. Positioned within their sliver of sport and society are highly talented amateur golfers for whom competition has been close to impossible to find what with the cancellation of the spring sports at the college level. When Ogletree prevailed at the 2019 U.S. Amateur Championship, little did he know that his only action for a giant block of 2020 would emerge as a result of that title. With that honor, he earned exemptions into the RBC Heritage and this week’s Memorial. A sponsor exemption into the Charles Schwab Challenge also was extended. He’s 11th in the World Amateur Golf Ranking and plans to retain his designation so that he can compete in the Masters in November. In the meantime, the Georgia Tech product will settle for making his first cut on the PGA TOUR. NOTE: Sleeper is a relative term, so Rob uses unofficial criteria to determine who qualifies. Each of the following usually is determined to be ineligible for this weekly staple: Winners of the tournament on the current host course; winners in the same season; recent major champions; top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking; recent participants of team competitions.

The First Look: Desert ClassicThe First Look: Desert Classic

Reigning FedExCup champion Justin Rose returns from his holiday break to the California desert, as does Phil Mickelson to challenge Jon Rahm’s title defense as the TOUR makes its traditional first stop on the U.S. mainland in the new calendar year. Related: Field | Past results | Course overview It’s the 60th edition of what was once Bob Hope’s grassed stage. Celebrities who have passed through the Classic’s pro-am have ranged from Frank Sinatra, Jackie Gleason and Phil Harris to George Lopez, Alice Cooper and Samuel L. Jackson to U.S. presidents Gerald Ford, George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton. FIELD NOTES: Danny Willett tees it up for the first time since ending his 2018 with a victory at the European Tour’s season finale. The English pro, forced to rebuild his swing after back woes, has revived his PGA TOUR membership after a year away. … PGA West is anticipating 12 of the current top 30 in the FedExCup standings. … Charlie Reiter, who opened 68-70 in last year’s event as a high schooler, is back on another sponsor exemption. The two-time Southern California prep champion now is a freshman at USC. … John Catlin, a two-time winner on the Asian Tour last year, also got an exemption. FEDEXCUP: Winner receives 500 points. STORYLINES: Rose tees it up on U.S. soil for the first time since he took home the FedExCup trophy at East Lake, making his first Desert Classic visit since 2010. After three top-4 finishes in the FedExCup Playoffs, he took third at the World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions in October and won the European Tour’s Turkish Airlines Open the following week. … Mickelson, who also serves as a Classic ambassador, seeks a third crown for his portfolio to go with wins in 2002 and 2004. It’ll be his first competitive round since beating Tiger Woods in “The Match� over Thanksgiving weekend. … Rahm arrives off a share of eighth at the Sentry Tournament of Champions, his third straight top-10 finish worldwide. That includes a win at the 18-man Hero World Challenge. … Adam Hadwin, who shot 59 two years ago but was chased down by Hudson Swafford on the final day, takes another shot at desert glory. … Rahm’s victory made him just the second international winner in the past 15 Classics. Jhonattan Vegas (Venezuela) was the other, prevailing in 2011. … La Quinta Country Club is in the rotation for the 48th time, missing only eight Classics since its debut in 1964. That’s a longer run than all but four PGA TOUR venues. COURSE: TPC Stadium Course at PGA West, 7,113 yards, par 72. Now in its fourth year as host, Pete Dye’s 1986 design finally fits into the role for which it first was envisioned. Given the task of testing golfers to the utmost, Dye built a layout featuring deep bunkers, pushed-up greens and plenty of water. The course made its debut for the 1986 Skins Game and joined the Classic rota in 1987. The Skins Game stayed five more years, with six editions of the TOUR’s qualifying finals later held at the Stadium course. The event’s pro-am format also will utilize PGA West’s Nicklaus Tournament course (7,159/72) and La Quinta CC (7,060/72) in the first three rounds. 72-HOLE RECORD: 260, Patrick Reed (2014). Note: Steve Stricker shot 255 through his first 72 holes in 2009, when the Hope was a five-round tournament. 18-HOLE RECORD: 59, David Duval (5th round, 1999 at PGA West/Palmer), Adam Hadwin (3rd round, 2017 at La Quinta CC). Stadium Course record: 63, Jonathan Fricke (2nd round, 2008 Qualifying Finals*), Whee Kim (2nd round, 2012 Qualifying Finals*). Nicklaus Tournament record: 59, Harrison Frazar (4th round, 2008 Qualifying Finals*). Note: Q-School does not count as an official PGA TOUR event. LAST YEAR: Rahm beat back Andrew Landry’s playoff challenge – not to mention impending darkness – with a birdie on the fourth extra hole, notching his second TOUR victory and fourth worldwide in a 51-week span. Rahm began his week with a 62 at La Quinta CC, but began the final day two shots off Austin Cook’s pace before posting a 5-under-par 67. Landry forced extra holes with a birdie on the final hole of regulation, and they matched pars on the first three holes before Rahm found the touch from 11 feet in fading light. It was Rahm’s second win in three starts bridging the holidays. HOW TO FOLLOW TELEVISION: Thursday-Sunday, 3-7 p.m. ET (Golf Channel).
