The Twister AI Golf Predictor has now locked its first-round leader picks for this week.
After landing Cameron Young as both outright winner and first-round leader on the soft-launch card last week, we have taken the same approach this week: wait for the tee times, check the likely weather windows, then finalise the FRL selections.
The main focus is the Truist Championship, with two smaller bonus FRL plays added for the Estrella Damm Catalunya Championship in Barcelona.
Truist Championship FRL Picks
Rory McIlroy — 1pt each-way (14/1, 6 places)
Rory McIlroy is the first Truist first-round leader selection.
He was left off the main outright card because the outright price looked short, but the FRL market is different. For one round, Rory has an obvious chance.
He has a strong Quail Hollow profile, excellent course history and the type of power game that fits the course. His tee time also looks useful, with the model preferring his window once weather and draw were factored in.
Selection: Rory McIlroy — 1pt each-way FRL
Min Woo Lee — 1pt each-way (40/1, 5 places)
Min Woo Lee is the second Truist FRL pick.
The model likes his mix of course fit, scoring upside and tee-time position. He has the sort of explosive profile that can work well in a first-round leader market, where one hot round is enough.
Selection: Min Woo Lee — 1pt each-way FRL
Barcelona FRL Picks – DP World Tour Catalunya Championship
The two smaller Barcelona FRL plays are:
- Jayden Schaper — 0.5pt each-way
- Angel Ayora — 0.5pt each-way
Both are 33/1 each way for 6 places – they fit the model well and both get favourable early tee-time windows.
Tiny Glory Double
The small-stakes Twister AI Glory Double for this week is:
Rory McIlroy FRL + Xander Schauffele outright winner — 0.25pt each way (around 125/1)
This is just a fun side play, not part of the main staking plan.
