The 2023 PGA Championship is set to get underway from Oak Hills Country Club in Rochester, New York, beginning Thursday morning. Oak Hills hasn’t hosted the PGA Championship since 2013, so players with past experience here could face some adjustments due to the numerous changes implemented on the Donald Ross-designed course. Whether it’s the addition of all Bentgrass greens, which run up to 13 feet, the removal of large amounts of oak trees, the installation of a new drainage system, or modifying several holes on the course, expect minimal birdies and a lot of bogeys at a difficult track like Oak Hills.
If you’re new to the 3-ball betting market, get ready to embark on a ride during Round 1. Golf groups are the same in 3-ball, with each player receiving odds for whether or not they’ll finish the opening round with the lowest score in their group. Oftentimes, we’ll see an unsung hero rise to the occasion and cash a first-round leader outright bet, like we just saw at AT&T Byron Nelson with S.Y. Noh delivering an -11-under-par opening round.
