It is the sixth time that Pebble Beach has hosted the United States Open and first since 2010 when Graeme McDowell hoisted the trophy with a winning score of Even Par. The field is led by back to back U.S. Open Champion and #1 player in the World, Brooks Koepka and he is accompanied by each of the other Top 50 players in the Official World Golf Rankings. With the rotation in the course played each year, I have added the last five years results but have a very low weight(5%) on that. Just enough to see who consistently performs well on these very tough US Open setups. I have also added the results of the 2010 U.S. Open, the last time it was played here at Pebble Beach. There really isn't any merit in looking at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am results as it has a three-course rotation using Pebble once pre-cut for each player and then again on the final round. What you can do is check out the Fantasy National tools and use the filter to get performance solely on Pebble Beach Golf Links. I will be adding this to my custom model this week as well. While "looking" at the Pebble Beach course history is fine, modeling around it just doesn't work. Golfers are going to see a slightly different course this week, specifically off the tee as the fairways have been narrowed with length added to many holes with some new tee boxes added. Tiger Woods also talked about the course "playing" very long when he practiced here at the end May. One of the biggest differences is the conversion of the second hole from a Par 5 to one of...

RBC Canadian Open "Oh Canada, our home and native land!"  That's right folks! Some people call the PLAYERS the fifth major but as a Canadian, this is my fifth major and one of my favorite events of the year. The history goes way back as the first Canadian Open was held in 1904 and is the third longest running annual tournament on the PGA Tour(Open Championship, U.S. Open are 1st/2nd longest running). This year is a bit different for a couple of reasons starting with the date change to early June. It is now a week before the U.S. Open which will and has drawn a stronger field than when it was sandwiched between the Open Championship and either the WGC Bridgestone or PGA championship. Speaking of that field, while it is not strong overall, it is absolutely loaded at the top with four of the Top 5(Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas) players in the world teeing it up North of the border. The field also includes 20 Canadians looking to win their own National event for the first time since Pat Fletcher did it way back in 1954. Leading the Canadian contingent are Adam Hadwin(#79) and Corey Conners(#83) who the only two inside the Top 100 at the moment and they are currently 23rd and 55th in the FedEx Cup standings this season. Hamilton Golf & Country Club is a shorter Par 70 coming in just under 7,000 yards. It has tree-lined fairways that are very narrow and generated under 60% driving accuracy back in 2012. This combined with some thick, punitive rough, and there will be a ton of emphasis on hitting the fairways to have a shot at hitting these smaller than average greens. This will, in turn, make it tougher to hit the greens overall which will bring scrambling into play as well. Let's now take...

Grab your copy today and edge out the competition. the Memorial We are right in the middle of a busy stretch of golf and this week the PGA Tour will stop in at Jack's Place(Muirfield Village) for the Memorial Tournament. This is in an invitation-only event with a smaller 120-player field and a cut of Top 70 & ties after round two. With one of the biggest purses outside of the Majors, the Memorial annually draws one a very strong field. This year is no different as seven of the Top 10(Rose, McIlroy, Woods, JT, Bryson, Xander, Fowler) and 32 of the World's Top 50 golfers will be teeing it up. The course is a Par 72 that falls just shy of 7,400 yards and has bunkers(73), water(13 hazards) and tree-lined fairways for defense. While the fairways are wider than average and generate an average driving accuracy around 70% golfers should not get too comfortable with the driver as the rough is very penal here. There is a ton of emphasis on hitting those fairways so I will be looking at the Fairways Gained trend using the FNGC tools. After hitting the fairway comes the most important stat this week, the approach shot. This is where players have separated themselves from the field looking back at previous leaderboards and stats rankings. If you want to break it down further, it is best to concentrate on the approach shots from 150-175 and 175-200 yards(see chart below).

Charles Schwab Challenge It was a dominating performance from Brooks Koepka at Bethpage where he won back to back PGA Championships and his fourth major in his last eight attempts(US Open-2, PGA Champ-2). We now shift our focus on the U.S. Open which takes place in a month at the iconic Pebble Beach Golf Links. Before we get there, we have a three-event run at some tremendous courses so let's get started. This week the PGA Tour heads to the Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas for the Charles Schwab Challenge. You may not recognize the name as it has had many before it including the Fort WorthInvitational, Dean & Deluca Invitational, and the Crowne Plaza Invitational. One thing that hasn't changed is the course as Colonial Country Club has hosted this event since 1946. Despite the event coming a week after the new PGA Championship date in May, the field is strong headlined by five of the Top 10(Rose, Molinari, DeChambeau, Schauffele, Fowler) and 18 of the Top 50 in the Official World Golf Rankings. From a stats standpoint, we completely switch directions from the bombers mentality at Bethpage as accuracy and precision off the tee is key here at Colonial. The most important stat to focus on the is week is Strokes Gained: Approach as it has proven to be the area where players separate themselves from the field year after year(pic below courtesy of FantasyNational.com). When breaking down those approach stats I will be looking at Proximity from 150-175 yards as that is where the highest number of approaches come from at Colonial. On average, 60% of all birdies at this event come from the 12 par 4 holes and no more than five of these holes have played under par for the week. This combined with the approach shots mentioned above is where players will separate so I...

PGA Championship It's time to get jacked up for the second major championship of 2019 and it's hard to argue with the new scheduling as it has only been a month since Tiger Woods won the Masters. That's right, the PGA Championship has been moved from it's regular August date to May to fit right in the middle of the Masters and US Open to hopefully generate a steady buzz for the sport throughout the summer months. Unlike the Masters, this is a full 156-man field with a regular cut of Top 70 and tie. There are many ways to get into this major and a couple of note that we should discuss for fantasy are the 20 PGA Professionals in the field along with former champions. I mention these two groups as both can be crossed off the list as it is rare for either to make the cut. Outside of those players, the field is absolutely loaded with every one of the Top 100 in the OWGR teeing it up for a chance to hoist the Wanamaker Trophy. Like the U.S. Open and Open Championship, this major rotates course annually and this year will be hosted by Bethpage State Park(Black Course). This will be the third major held here and first PGA Championship as it also hosted the 2009(Lucas Glover) and 2002(Tiger Woods) U.S. Open. More recently, Bethpage also hosted the 2012 and 2016 Barclays as a part of the PGA Tour Playoff schedule. Bethpage Black is one of the hardest courses in America due to its length in comparison to it being just a Par 70. Three of the four Par 3's exceed 200 yards with seven of the 12 Par 4's exceeding 450 yards and three exceeding 500 yards. Not only will players need length off the tee but like any major championship, hitting fairways is also at a premium...

AT&T Byron Nelson This week the PGA Tour heads back to Trinity Forest Golf Club as it will host the AT&T Byron Nelson for the second time. Aaron Wise returns as the defending champion as he posted a -23 winning score, three strokes better than Marc Leishman. With this year's event a week before the PGA Championship, the field is once again fairly week but lead by World #3, Brooks Koepka and Trinity Forest member, Jordan Spieth. The course is a Ben Crenshaw/Bill Coore design and is a Links Style setup in every facet besides location as it resides inland. Even with very generous fairways(75%+ driving accuracy last year), this course forces players to really use their brains and in some regards play the holes backward from green to tee. The greens are very undulated putting an emphasis on approach shots and when breaking down Strokes Gained: Approach, I will be looking closely at Proximity stats. With all the undulation I will also be looking at players who rank high in three-putt avoidance. The course played very firm last year and that will be the biggest difference as Dallas has received lots of rain lately and looking at the early forecast, it is supposed to rain right up until late Wednesday night. This will have the course playing softer which, in my opinion, gives more advantage to the bombers who will fly it farther while last year the shorter hitters were benefited by the firm rollout fairway conditions. Not that shorter hitters can't succeed but when targeting them make sure they are trending with their long iron play. It also makes sense to take a look at golfers who are successful in playing Links-Style golf. For this info, I turn to the Fantasy Golfanac who looks at strokes gained information from all Links events worldwide going back to the start of the 2014...
