Emiliano Grillo vs. Christiaan Bezuidenhout

2026 Rocket Classic

August 2, 2026
img7:00 AM Eastern

Emiliano Grillo left Minnesota in good shape, finishing inside the top 10 at the 3M Open after sitting just three back entering the final round. It's a nice line on the résumé, but it came at a wide-open, birdie-friendly track that plays nothing like what's waiting in Detroit. This year's composite Ross layout got a real facelift for its farewell playing — new greens, tightened bunkering, a reworked irrigation system — turning a historically generous test into one that punishes anything loose off the tee, especially early in the week. That's a tougher adjustment for a player coming off a scoring carnival than for someone built around control and precise iron play, which is why the two-shot cushion here is more usable than an outright pick would be. Grillo's week in Minnesota doesn't tell us much about how he handles a redesigned target course testing the whole field for the first time. Back Bezuidenhout to cover the number today. 

1.5 units on Christiaan Bezuidenhout -1.5 (+110) (risk 1.5 to return 3.15)
