Colt Knost said he is backing Wyndham Clark for a top-20 finish at the 3M Open at +160. Knost usually fades players who cross the Atlantic immediately after the Open Championship because of jet-lag concerns, but he is making an exception after Clark’s T4 at Royal Troon that ended with a sizzling final-round 65. Knost believes Clark’s form over three straight strong rounds outweighs any travel fatigue and notes the former U.S. Open champion is highly motivated to climb the FedEx Cup standings and cement a Ryder Cup spot.

Colt Knost backed Ryan Fox to finish inside the top 20 at the Genesis Scottish Open at +260 on Fanatics Sportsbook. Knost pointed to Fox’s elite run of consistency: two wins already this season and no finishes worse than 30th in his last six starts. That blend of winning upside and steady floor at The Renaissance Club convinced Knost the +260 number is mispriced for a top-20 ticket.

Colt Knost pivoted off the trendy Luke Clanton play and wagered on Cameron Young to finish inside the top 20 at +140 on Fanatics Sportsbook. Knost said Young is 'starting to play better' and relayed that Trevor Immelman personally predicted Young would win this week—a call Knost trusts because Immelman's week-of reads are 'normally right.' Rather than chase the outright, Knost likes the top-20 market to capitalize on Young's improving form at the Detroit Golf Club birdie fest while limiting volatility.

Colt Knost backed Xander Schauffele for another U.S. Open top-10 at +210. Knost reminded listeners that Schauffele has landed inside the top 10 in seven of eight career U.S. Opens, the lone miss coming in 2022 when he still managed T14. Although Schauffele dealt with an early-season injury, Knost believes the Olympic gold medalist is starting to round into form and historically elevates his game for this championship, making the identical +210 price a bet he is comfortable firing again.

Colt Knost told listeners of the Subpar podcast that he is betting Jordan Spieth to finish inside the top 10 at the Truist Championship at +250 on Fanatics Sportsbook. Knost admitted he has little course history to lean on at Philadelphia Cricket Club’s Wissahickon track, but he is banking on Spieth’s red-hot recent form: a closing 62 on Sunday at the Byron Nelson and a run of three or four consecutive top-20 finishes. Knost argued that those results show Spieth is "starting to feel more and more comfortable with his game" and trending toward another high finish, making the +250 price attractive.
