Strategy
Along with Pebble Beach in a few weeks, The American Express is a uniquely structured tournament with three courses in play and a cut-line after 54 holes instead of after 36. With every player guaranteed three rounds instead of two, taking more risks with player selection is the best strategy. If a player misses the cut, you are only missing out on one round of scoring. Personally, I will be overweight on the trio of Patrick Cantlay, Jon Rahm and Tony Finau, along with Cam Young, Cam Davis and Taylor Montgomery from the next tier. There are a variety of options in the low $7K range, and even a rookie like Tyson Alexander (6.4K) who presents a high ceiling in a “putting contest” type of event.
