Billy Horschel vs Stephan Jäger Prediction: Tight one in this game one

The Travelers Championship is here, and in-game day 1, Bi🦄lly Horschel will play Stephan Jäger at TPC River Highlands, Cromwell, Connecticut. The odds favor Billy Horschel, but with Jager being a tough golfer, how will this game end?

Billy Horschel did turn professional in 2009 but could only make the cut at the Mayakoba Golf Classic in 2011 after eleven PGA Tour starts, finishing T13. However, Billy Horschel was able to win the 2013 Zurich Classic in his 61st PGA Tour start, and with that win, he moved third on the PGA Tour money list. Good enough, the win also gave him a chance to participate in the 2013 PGA Championship, the 2013 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, The Players Championship, and the 2014 Masters Tournament. 

Horschel earned his second win at the 2014 BMW Championship, and a week later, he won the Tour Championship. In May 2017, Horschel won the A𒅌T&T Byron Nelson and the Zurich Classic of New Orleans in 2018. In March 2021, Horschel won the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play, his first World Golf Championship before his September BMW PGA Championship. 

Stephan Jäger has been a threat in the golf world and will look to show his quality in this Travelers Championship. 2016 Stephan Jäger secured his first Web.com Tour but could only finish 28th on the regular season money list. In 2017, Stephan Jäger won twice on the Web.com Tour, finishing fifth on the regular-season money list and earning a PGA Tour card for and winning the Web.com Tour's Knoxville Open. 

On the Korn Ferry Tour in 2020, Jäger picked up his fifth title at the Albertsons Boise Open. The win helped gain his exemption into the 20🍸20 U.S. Open as the Korn Ferry Tour Championship. He won the Korn Ferry Tour Player of the Year a▨ward for the 2020–21 season. Stephan Jäger claimed his first PGA Tour win at the Texas Children's Houston Open after Scottie Scheffler missed a birdie attempt that would have forced a playoff.

Stephan Jäger has a good chance of winning this game despite the fact that he is the underdog. Billy Horschel is the favorite, and he has been excellent lately. However, in terms of a winning mentality and who can do it on the bi🔯g stage, Stephan Jäger is clear, and I expect him to get things right here.
