At the onset of the week, Bryson DeChambeau and Dustin Johnson opened as top chalk for the Travelers Championship. This week’s field is somewhat depleted after the US Open. But DeChambeau and Johnson bring plenty of gravitas with the Golf betting lines. Johnson has held the number one position on the World Golf Ranking for several months. But Jon Rahm took it from him after winning the US Open. Rahm is not on hand this week at TPC River Highlands. This opens the door for Johnson. So too is DeChambeau in search of a breakout win.
