Pat Perry tagged Antoine Rozner as his favorite “bomb” placement bet, locking in a +400 number for a top-20 finish at TPC Toronto. Perry pointed to Rozner’s recent T-13 at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson as proof the Frenchman’s ball-striking is trending in the right direction. He reminded listeners Rozner already owns top-20s on big-boy setups—the 2023 Open Championship and the 2021 Memorial—showing he can handle firm greens and 200-plus-yard par-3s similar to what players will face this week. With only two par-5s on the card, Perry expects a premium on precise mid-iron play, Rozner’s calling card (he ranks inside the top 30 on the DP World Tour in proximity from 175-225 yards). In a watered-down Canadian Open field, Perry believes Rozner’s win equity is higher than the market implies but prefers the safer top-20 ticket at 4-to-1 because of limited PGA Tour reps.

Pat Mayo’s 12-round build spit Antoine Rozner out as the top overall play despite extremely long projected odds. Rozner has gained on both approach and off the tee in three straight worldwide starts and is 8-for-8 hitting greens from 175-225 yards—Mayo’s key proximity bucket because of TPC Toronto’s six 480-plus par-4s. Although only 53rd in driving distance, Rozner ranks top-20 in strokes gained on par-4s of 450-500 yards thanks to that long-iron precision. The putter is finally positive after a miserable stretch; Mayo said Rozner merely needs to avoid the blow-up minus-4 weeks to contend. At triple-digit outright prices and a sub-$7k DraftKings salary, Mayo likes him for outrights, top-20s, and as a salary-saver in balanced DFS builds.
