Bo McBrayer identified Kris Ventura as a valuable longshot betting option, recommending a top-20 wager at substantial 200-1 outright odds. While McBrayer didn't provide extensive detail, the strategic choice to back Ventura at inflated odds implies perceived mispricing in the betting market and potential upside for Ventura at TPC San Antonio.

Matt Gannon endorses Kris Ventura as a high-value positional bet, highlighting Ventura's significant driving distance and appealing odds around 250-1. Ventura, who recently regained his Tour card, has looked increasingly confident and competitive. Though not expecting Ventura to win outright, Gannon views the aggressive-driving Norwegian, motivated perhaps by fellow Norwegian Viktor Hovland's recent successes, as a prime candidate for top 20 or top 40 finishes. Ventura has the prototypical skill set needed at Memorial Park's driver-favoring layout and is comfortable competing in this region after playing college golf in Oklahoma.
