The final round of the Honda Classic should be windier than the first three, which means we could see even more leaderboard turnover from a tourney that’s featured plenty already.

Let’s get right to a few matchup bets…

Anirban Lahiri over Nick Taylor (-110)

Give me ball-striking and experience today. Even though Lahiri’s recent record hasn’t been special, he owns both characteristics and has played some steady golf so far.

Adam Schenk over Ryan Armour (-120)

If not for a terribly misinterpreted penalty for his caddie “lining him up,” Schenk would be T-2 and just one stroke back right now. Whether he’ll be extra motivated to recover a few strokes or it’s karma, I like him to move up a little bit today.

Vaughn Taylor over Matt Jones (-120)

He’s never returned to the profile of being a Ryder Cup player more than a dozen years ago, but Taylor has a penchant for quietly going low on Sundays to cash a nice paycheck.
