James Mason recommended taking a flier on Jason Day at +4700, calling him the ultimate Pebble Beach “course horse.” Day owns a sparkling record here: runner-up in 2018, four additional top-5s, and ten top-10s in 15 career starts, finishing outside the top-15 only three times. Mason noted the Aussie’s current form is trending up after a solo 2nd to Scottie Scheffler at The American Express earlier this season. With that combination of elite historical performance, early-season momentum, and an attractive near 50-1 price, Mason expects Day to contend yet again and potentially snag the elusive first Pebble Beach title for bettors willing to embrace the upside.

James Mason advised betting Justin Rose at +3000 on the outright market, citing a perfect storm of recent form and course fit. The 45-year-old just captured the Farmers Insurance Open for his second career win at Torrey Pines, propelling him to 3rd in the world—his best position since 2019. Rose already owns the 2023 Pebble Beach trophy, followed that with a T11 title defense, and shared 3rd here last season. Statistically he sits 3rd in greens in regulation and 7th in putting average, two metrics Mason says historically drive success on Pebble’s postage-stamp greens. A pair of runner-up finishes at the Open Championship underscores Rose’s comfort on weather-exposed links venues, so Mason believes back-to-back wins on U.S. soil are firmly in play.

James Mason said Russell Henley is worth a wager at +3100 to win the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Mason highlighted Henley’s hot start to 2026 (T19 at the Sony Open followed by T8 at The American Express) that vaulted him to world #6. Pebble’s tiny greens reward sharp iron play and Henley ranks 18th on tour in greens-in-regulation and 5th in strokes gained: approach. Course history is another selling point: six prior starts here include a top-5 last year—four shots behind Rory McIlroy—and he was low amateur when T16 at the 2010 US Open on the same property. Mason added that Henley’s recent links-coast form (5th at the 2024 Open Championship and T10 in 2025) proves he can handle the wind and weather expected along the Monterey Peninsula, making him “the one to beat.”
