About

Located in Atlanta, Georgia, East Lake Golf Club is the home course of legendary golfer Bobby Jones and is the oldest golf course in the city of Atlanta.

Course Description

In 1994, famed architect Rees Jones restored Donald Ross' original golf course layout. The course measures 7,374 yards from the championship tees and plays to par 72. East Lake’s signature hole is the 168-yard, par-3 sixth, which plays from an elevated tee to a diagonally angled peninsula green. This particular green complex existed on the original Tom Bendelow course, where it served as the green at the par-5 16th and was one of the first island greens in America.....read everything you need to know about the course here!

Bryson DeChambeau

Hardly an inspired pick, but Bryson DeChambeau should be fully rejuvenated after the week off last week, that he said he needed. He is a class act and is ready to take his place in the top 5 of the World Rankings. He is my pick this week at 20/1

If not Bryson DeChambeau this week............then maybe one of these

Webb Simpson has to have a great chance again this week. He is inspired by his great play this year, and will definitely shoot a couple of low rounds this week. Could be good enough to see him cross the line as the winner. He is 28/1

With rock solid results in the playoffs, and a deserved pick from Jim Furyk for the Ryder Cup, there would not be a better time for Tony Finau to rubber stamp his name at the top of the worlds game. He is 20/1 this week.
