“No one is hotter than Rickie Fowler” – Paige Spiranac announces her picks for the 2023 Genesis Scottish Open

Following the conclusion of the John Deere Classic last week, the PGA Tour players flew to Scotland for the 2023 Genesis Invitational Open, which is set to begin on July 13 at The Renaissance Club. A full field of 156 golfers will compete for a $9 million payout in a stroke-play format game.

Paige Spiranac, a social media sensation, picked her top bets for this week before the commencement of the tournament. She posted a video on Twitter claiming that Rickie Fowler has the best chance of winning the Scottish Open.

"With The Open coming up, a lot of players use the Scottish Open as a practice round, a test to see where their game is going into the Major," Paige Spiranac said. "So I keep that in mind when I'm picking certain players for the Scottish Open. I'm liking Tommy Fleetwood. His game is better than ever and he's still searching first win. I think Scottish Open might be where it happens. I'm also liking Tyrrell Hatton, who is playing some of the best golf of his career."

"Another two players I'm liking and you got to go with somebody who's got and no one is hotter than Rickie Fowler right now," she added. "Another player is Rory McIlroy, I said I would never pick him again for a major after he has broken my heart. But one too many times, so why not pick him for the Scottish Open."

It is important to note that Rickie Fowler won the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic held at Detroit Golf Club from June 29 to July 2 after defeating Collin Morikawa and Adam Hadwin in a playoff.
