Predictions for Castle Rock

Scottie Scheffler (current world No. 1) remains the man to beat and threatens to hold the in the top spot in the FedEx Cup Standings, going into the tournament in Colorado. Xander Schauffele and Hideki Matsuyama also hold places on the podium and will be hoping that holding down that Schellfer misfires at Castle Rock.

Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy’s will be also looking to bounce back from a disappointing week at the St Jude Championship after a closing four-over-par 74 as the Portrush native finished joint second last

The Northern Ireland Golfer has won the PGA Tour’s play-offs on three occasions - 2016, 2019 and 2022 - and despite his struggles in Memphis is still guaranteed to be in the Tour Championship field and will look to end his erratic season in style.
