Charles Schwab Challenge expert picks
The Golfing Gazette experts have made their picks for the Charles Schwab Challenge this week.
Charlie Walker: Ludvig Aberg is having a tremendous season. It seems like he’s a lock for the top 10 every single week, but he’s fallen just short of winning so far this year. But on this golf course that rewards accurate iron play, this is the week that he rises to the very top of the leaderboard.
James Shearman: Ludvig Aberg is also my pick for the Charles Schwab Challenge, as it is unbelievable that he has not won already this season. The Swede has finished in the top 10 in six of his last seven events, including at the PGA Championship. However, as much confidence as I have in Aberg, I also have high hopes for Alex Smalley this week.
