2023 Honda Classic – Round 4 Betting and Showdown Picks

With a whole bunch of inexperienced and poor Sunday performers filling the top of the leaderboard heading into the final round of the Honda Classic, predicting who will come out on top is not an easy task. Veteran Chris Kirk carries a two-shot lead yet is only a +110 favorite with two PGA Tour rookies behind him. Even the books don’t wholly trust Kirk to pull this out after he has gone eight years since his last Tour victory, failing in plenty of Sunday chances along the way. While I’ll be rooting for Kirk thanks to my pretournament 33-1 ticket, I would put Shane Lowry as the favorite to win tomorrow. Lowry loves PGA National and has played in so many pressure-packed events in his career. I expect him to avoid any big mistakes, sink some huge birdie putts down the stretch, and rise to the occasion.

- Sepp Straka +5000 (6 shots back, +2.53 ball-striking/rd, streaky performer who can shoot a low number, defending champion)
- Eric Cole +500 (2 shots back, +2.64 ball-striking/rd, Tour rookie is playing fearless with nothing to lose)
