Outliers
Maverick McNealy ($7,500) continues to rate highly each and every week. He comes in this week with an 89 and only trails golfers at $9,500-plus in the Expected Birdies score for the field this week. McNealy’s now on a string of 10 straight made cuts and comes in with great form.
Harry Higgs ($7,300) is another name that keeps popping up in this article each week. Last we saw him, he was eking out a top-20 finish at Pebble Beach. It appears that he’s found his stride a bit as he’s made seven of eight cuts.
