The inaugural Austin Championship takes place on the PGA Tour from November 12-15 in Texas and we have four bets for victory.

The newly renovated Fazio Canyons Course at Omni Barton Creek will host a PGA Tour event for the first time in its history. 

These are our four selections that could win the title this weekend. 

Doug Ghim


Doug Ghim has been performing well on the PGA Tour during the past three months, placing T15 at the Rocket Classic, T19 at the Wyndham Championship, T17 at the Biltmore Championship Asheville, 2nd at the Bank of Utah Championship, T17 at the Baycurrent Classic, and T6 at the recent VidantaWorld Mexico Open. 

Additional highlights from Ghim's year include a T6 at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, a T19 at the Myrtle Beach Classic, a T15 at the RBC Canadian Open, and a T6 at the John Deere Classic.

Ghim has come good lately and can win the inaugural Austin Championship tournament come Sunday.

Ben Kohles


Ben Kohles has produced consistent results in his last five starts, placing T15 at the Biltmore Championship Asheville, T13 at the Bank of Utah Championship, T17 at the Baycurrent Classic, T17 at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, and T25 at the World Wide Technology Championship last weekend.

Other noteworthy results achieved by Kohles on the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour this season include a T19 at the Bahamas Golf Classic, a T10 at the Bahamas Great Abaco Classic, 6th at the Visa Argentina Open, a T13 at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, T31 at the Myrtle Beach Classic, 12th at the Colonial Life Charity Classic, a victory at the BMW Charity Pro-Am, a T23 at the U.S. Open, a T19 at the Memorial Health Championship, a T3 at the John Deere Classic, a T15 at the ISCO Championship, 9th at the 3M Open, a T23 at the AdventHealth Championship, and a T27 at the Simmons Bank Open. 

Kohles can convert his recent results into a winning performance at the Austin Championship this weekend.

Seamus Power


Seamus Power has found some form on the PGA Tour lately, placing T7 at the Biltmore Championship Asheville, T21 at the Bank of Utah Championship, 2nd at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, and T8 at the World Wide Technology Championship last weekend. 

Other notable results achieved by Power this season include a T11 at the Farmers Insurance Open, T10 at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, a T19 at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, a T11 at the Corales Puntacana Championship, and a T10 at the 3M Open. 

Power has the form to go all the way and win his third PGA Tour title in Texas this weekend.  

Zach Bauchou


Zach Bauchou has been in decent nick on the PGA Tour lately, placing T14 at the Wyndham Championship, T24 at the Biltmore Championship Asheville, T13 at the Bank of Utah Championship, T9 at the Baycurrent Classic, an MC at the VidantaWorld Mexico Open, and T33 at the World Wide Technology Championship last weekend. 

Other prominent performances achieved by Bauchou this year include a T13 at the American Express, a T23 at the Cognizant Classic, a T21 at the Puerto Rico Open, a T13 at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, a T24 at the Myrtle Beach Classic, a T6 at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, a T22 at the Charles Schwab Challenge, and a T9 at the Corales Puntacana Championship.

Bauchou has threatened to produce a top result lately and should enter calculations in Texas.

Verdict

Ghim has been playing well lately and can win the Austin Championship this weekend.
 
Kohles has been in solid form lately and can pocket the winner's cheque in Austin this weekend.

Power has done nothing wrong lately and can emerge victorious in Texas come Sunday.

Bauchou has been there and thereabouts lately and can upstage the others with a victory at Barton Creek come Sunday.
