McDonald labeled the Justin Lower / Chad Ramey duo his favorite long‑shot at 100‑1. Ramey rolls in with finishes of T5 at the Valero Texas Open and T18 at Corales, gaining over five strokes on the greens combined. Lower, who ‘tends to pop up on leaderboards,’ ranks inside the top‑15 in one‑putt percentage this season. McDonald notes they could be one of the three best putting teams in the field, a critical edge in a tournament where birdie‑fests in four‑ball decide the title. If they hover near −12 after the opening two rounds, he believes their flat‑stick advantage makes them dangerous over the weekend.
