Check out what Reed has done since his win:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Six straight made cuts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Three top 10s<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>T4 in 2023<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He finished T12 last year while ranking sixth in strokes gained: putting and third in SG: around-the-green, per DataGolf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the irons were cooperating (he ranked 50th in SG: approach), he would&#8217;ve been right in the mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Reed is gaining an average of 1.67 strokes per round at Augusta, the 14th most of anyone in this field with more than one start. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-c1e817ca-a7f4-4be8-8332-7ac0c6f20f4b\">Quick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Berger to win (+12,500):<\/strong> I&#8217;ve been banging the Berger drum all year, so why stop now? The Floridian was once a top 10 player in the world and is slowly making his way back after missing 18 months with a back injury. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He&#8217;s made six straight cuts heading into the Masters, posting positive SG: PUTT and APP in all of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During that run, he has a runner-up at the WM Phoenix Open and two top 15s at signature events. Berger&#8217;s game fits this course, and I expect him to turn up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.com\/sportsbook\/sports\/golf\/events\/10603571\">Bet on the Masters<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tom<\/strong> <strong>Hoge to win (+25,000):<\/strong> Will Hoge win this week? Probably not. But I can&#8217;t make sense of his 250-to-1 odds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He&#8217;s coming off back-to-back top-five finishes, one of which was a T3 at the Players Championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hoge is an elite ball striker who is rolling the rock well. He doesn&#8217;t have a great history at majors and is making just his third Masters start, but you could do much worse at this number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I&#8217;m making my best prop picks later this week, you can believe I&#8217;ll have Hoge in some capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Masters long shot picks made at 9:23 a.m. on 04\/08\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The top of the Masters odds board is stacked with big names, but there are plenty of viable long shots in play.
