The first week of #Fore4Fore was a success. Ron Klos had 14 of the top-25 finishers in the top 25 in his model, including eventual champ Jon Rahm at the top of the model. I picked Louis Oosthuizen pre-tournament at 60/1, and he gave us a 72-hole sweat before falling short again on a Sunday at a major.

We typically see a less-than-stellar field the week after a major, but that's not the case this week. Five of the world's top-10 ranked players are making the trip to Connecticut for this week's Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands. Aside from a Poa Annua mix on the greens, this course couldn't be much different than what we saw last week at Torrey Pines. The Pete Dye-designed track comes in as the second-shortest on Tour this season. TPC River Highlands features tree-lined fairways and small greens, putting an emphasis on accuracy, both off the tee and on approach. Early forecasts show that wind could be a factor on the weekend, which is often the case at this event. Premier ball-striking mixed with a hot putter can turn this into a birdie fest, and a quick glance at past leaderboards proves that any style can win at The Travelers.

I cashed a pre-tournament Dustin Johnson ticket here last year at an absurd 25/1 price, so let's make winners at The Travelers a trend. Let's dig in.
