He has a lot of experience and fits the same mold as Vaughn Taylor victory last year.
New to this site so forgive me is there is a simple answer…since it seems a great score at spyglass is advantageous, is there somewhere I can go to see like 5 year history of players that scored well at spyglass and Monterey Penn. Thanks
Raymond,
We have talked about doing a database that has that, but it’s too hard to maintain and the bottom line is that people wouldn’t use it.
What I can suggest if you are looking for things like this, go to the official AT&T Pebble Beach site at this address
http://www.attpbgolf.com/media/
and download the entire media guide history. It’s not going to be exactly what you wanted, but it will give you answers and a way to find key scores from each course.
Sal do you know what is going on with Jimmy Walker? He usually plays his best this time of year but has 2 missed cuts in a row. I read he had a stomach bug in Hawaii but can’t seem to find much else.
I also include Bubba Watson on this list of guys that have mysteriously lost their games and players I wouldn’t take at all right now.
I think both of them have the same disease and that is they are both making a boatload of money and are enjoying it with their families. I see Bubba more in articles about owning a minor league baseball team and having fun doing this than getting ready to play in the Phoenix Open, maybe that is the reason he missed the cut in a tournament that he has contended in the last few years in. The same with Walker, this slide really started at the beginning of 2016, he always was a favorite in the first 15 events of the year, but last year fell flat on his butt. The record doesn’t lie, yes he was making cuts but only had two top-tens (Farmers & WGC Cadillac) before wiping out peoples thoughts on him by winning the PGA Championship.
Good play like both have experienced in the last five years has really big financial awards but at the same time they need to work twice as hard on their games as before, something that both Walker and Watson aren’t doing.
Hey if it was you and I we would probably do the same, both are millionaires and well taken care of for the rest of their lives.
Bubba also switched from Titleist to Volvik balls at the start of 2017 and noted spin rate differences in a recent Golf Digest article. It definitely seems like he could still be adjusting to the equipment change as well.
Sal, thoughts on Shane Lowry or Sean O’Hair this week? Both definitely seem under-priced given their recent form and course history.
Jordan,
I wondered about Bubba’s switch of balls and the wisdom of it. These guys are so good that a simple change could be the difference from missing the cut and finishing in the top-ten. In Bubba’s case I still think a lot of his poor play is due to not having the “eye of the Tiger” anymore and really enjoying his life.
As for Lowry and O’Hair these are players that have very average games under PGA Tour standards. They both make a lot of cuts and make a lot of money, but a top-ten in rare, they both average one top-ten for every 100 starts. As for winning, both have to be in the right place at the right time to win. As of this minute, Lowry is making a lot of cuts (8 in a row) but for that effort his best finish was last week, T-16th at Phoenix.
As for O’Hair, he has shown some good progress over the last couple of months and has been in the top-11 in three of four of those starts. So he is playing good enough that if the price is low take him.
I am in the progress of writing a piece on who is the best bargins for DraftKings. I am going to find the guys that make the most cuts and average costing less than $7,500. Should be up by tonight.
As you are rubbing elbows with the PGA big wigs this weekend could you do me a favor and ask them to please ban the practice of yelling “get in the hole” ?
It’s literally killing the sport.
Sorry to see that I am roughing out the AT&T from my home in Northern Virginia. It was 72 today and it’s suppose to snow tomorrow morning and be a high of 15 on Friday.
Lol at James. I totally agree.
