Justin Thomas, Sam Burns betting favorites heading into weekend at Valspar Championship

Matthew NeSmith played like Tiger Woods in his prime on Friday. Almost every putt he looked at fell in, and at the end of the day he signed for a 10-under 61 which tied the Copperhead course record. He leads the Valspar Championship heading into the weekend at 14 under.

Past champion Adam Hadwin sits two shots back at 12 under, looking for his first win on the PGA Tour since conquering Valspar in 2017 (his lone victory). At 11 under are Scott Stallings and last year’s champion Sam Burns.

Justin Thomas is doing Justin Thomas things and sits at 10 under after consecutive 66s.

After rain early in the week, the golf course looks to be drying out, making for perfect conditions over the weekend.

Here is an updated look at how the betting odds stand heading into Saturday in Palm Harbor, Florida.
