J.J. Spaun vs. Jake Knapp

Jake Knapp closed out last week's 3M Open with one of the low rounds of the day, playing his final 18 holes in nine under to climb inside the top 15 in Minnesota. That kind of finishing kick tends to carry into the following week, and it lines up well with a Detroit Golf Club that's been rebuilt to reward the aggressive, controlled ball-striking Knapp showed off down the stretch. J.J. Spaun is a proven closer in his own right, a former U.S. Open champion with four top-10 finishes already this season and a habit of finishing inside the top 13 in three of his six prior trips to Detroit. This is a legitimately even matchup on paper, which is exactly why plus money on the player who just delivered the better finishing round matters. Knapp's game is rounding into form at the right time, and the composite layout's new greens and bunkering suit a player comfortable being aggressive rather than protecting a number. Knapp is the bet today.
