The deck was stacked against Hideki Matsuyama in defense of his 2021 Masters championship. After he carried back problems into last season, he was forced to withdraw from the Valero Texas Open (neck) just ahead of the Masters, but was able to compete at Augusta National Golf Club for a respectable 14th-place finish a week later.

At last year’s Masters, McClure’s model was all over Scheffler’s first career major championship victory heading into the weekend.
In addition, McClure’s best bets included Collin Morikawa winning outright at the 2021 Open Championship, even though he was listed as a massive 40-1 long shot. The model…
