2021 Arnold Palmer Invitational Saturday-Sunday rounds best bets and predictions
By T.J. Auclair · March 5, 2021
Seventy-three players made the 36-hole cut in the 2021 Arnold Palmer Invitational, which fell at 2-over 146, and Canada’s Corey Conners will take a one-stroke lead at 9 under into the weekend over past champion Martin Laird. Viktor Hovland, Lanto Griffin and another past champion — Rory McIlroy — are a further shot back at 7 under.
Our resident expert, longtime Tour caddie John Rathouz, likes what he sees on the leaderboard with nine of his 12 early-week picks currently inside the top 20.
So what should we expect for the weekend at Bay Hill in terms of best bets?
