FedEx St. Jude Classic We are now just one week away from the U.S. Open with just one tournament standing in our way, the FedEx St. Jude Classic from TPC Southwind. The biggest difference from last week is the strength of the field as we have just two of the Top 10(DJ, Koepka), four of the Top 20(Stenson, Mickelson), and nine of the World's Top 50 golfers in the field. The course is a Par 70 that stretches just over 7,200 yards and is set up with some narrow fairways and smaller greens which puts a ton of emphasis on ball striking this week. Not only are the fairways narrow but there are trees lining the fairways combined with strategically positioned bunkers and water bringing driving accuracy into play and will dictate a lot of "less than driver" gameplans off the tee. As you can also see below when looking at the course trends(via Fantasy National Golf Club), Strokes Gained: Approach is very important here if you want to be lurking on the leaderboard come Sunday. As with all Par 70 courses, there are 12 Par 4's this week and seven of them come in at 450-500 yards which is a distance I will be looking at closely when building my models. I won't be putting as much emphasis or weight on Par 5 Scoring simply due to both of those holes being the easiest on the course with almost everyone being able to reach them in two and make birdies. I am also looking at a combination of Bogey Avoidance and Scrambling as the greens are difficult to hit so those players who can get up and down more often will stay in the hunt and especially those who avoid the big numbers(double or worse).

The Memorial Tournament After a tough decision to miss the European Tour's BMW Championship at Wentworth, Justin Rose put on a clinic at the Fort Worth Invitational this past week. He led the field in birdies(25), was 4th in Strokes Gained: Off the Tee and 1st in Strokes Gained: Approach on his way to a three-stroke victory and his second win of the season. This week the PGA Tour travels to Jack's place, Muirfield Village Golf Club, for the Memorial Tournament. It is an absolutely loaded field with eight of the Top 10 and 32 of the World's Top 50 golfers in the 120-man field. The Jack Nicklaus designed course is fairly generous off the tee which will make it a second shot course putting a ton of emphasis on Strokes Gained: Approach. With the tiered and undulated greens, I will also be looking closely at Proximity as getting the ball on the green and in the right position will be key to making birdies this week. Looking at the course breakdown from Fantasy National below, you will also see that the large majority of the approach shots will come from 150-175 and 175-200 yards and a lot of this has to do with the fact there are six Par 4's that fall between 450 and 500 yards. The longest of the Par 5's is 567 yards(11th hole) making them all reachable in two by almost the entire field. Getting your birdies or better on those four holes will be key while shooting around Par or slightly better on the Par 4's will put you in position come the weekend. Let's now go ahead and look at some course info and trends, past winners, key stats, and then dig into the top picks looking at course history, current form, and the stats model.

Fort Worth Invitational The new course(Trinity Forest) hosting last week's AT&T Byron Nelson provided some excellent golfing and high scores as the wind never really played a factor. I almost nailed a winner with Marc Leishman but he was outplayed on the weekend by Aaron Wise who ended up shooting -23 to take home his first PGA Tour win. In all, I hit three Top 10's and had all six picks make the cut. This week the PGA Tour heads back to Colonial Country Club for the Fort Worth Invitational. You may recognize the event by its former names the Dean & Deluca Invitational and Crowne Plaza Invitational and while the name has changed over the years, the course remains the same. It is a Par 70 that stretches out over 7,200 yards and with 12 Par 4's and just two Par 5's, we will be looking very closely at Par 4 Scoring. The fairways here at Colonial are some of the toughest to hit on Tour so I will also be looking closely at Driving Accuracy and Fairways Gained as those who can hit those fairways more than the field will have a much better shot at hitting more greens and making more birdies. From an approach shot perspective, I will also be looking mostly at the 150-175 yard range(see below). The field of 121 players this week is a strong one that includes three of the Top 5 (Spieth, Rahm, Rose) and 20 of the Worlds Top 50 golfers. Let's now take a look at some of the course stats and trends, previous winners, top stats in the model and then dig into the picks.

AT&T Byron Nelson Welcome back golf fans. After a week where we were treated with a loaded field including 49 of the World's Top 50 golfers, we get a much less exciting field this week with just two of the World's Top 10(Spieth, Matsuyama) and seven of the World's Top 50 golfers. Scheduling plays a big part in this, in my opinion, as it is two weeks until the Memorial and one month until the 118th U.S. Open. One of the other factors could be that this year's Byron Nelson will be hosted by a new course(to the event) that is completely different from the TPC Four Seasons course that has been used for the event since 1995. The course being used this week is Trinity Forest Golf Club in Dallas, Texas and was built on a former landfill. It has a lot of ties to a European style golf course as it is a Links course(outside the inland location) with tall native grasses with dramatic Euro style bunkering and very undulated greens. With no real protection from trees, the wind is also a huge factor here at Trinity Forest and it appears, at least early on, that it will most definitely be a factor this week. The fairways are very wide which takes driving accuracy out of the equation which does help the long drivers to a degree but the course will likely play fast creating a ton of role resulting in it playing a little shorter than the posted distance. For a great overview of the course and some of the key holes, be sure to head over to the Trinity Forest Golf Club homepage. With no data on course history whatsoever, we are going to be guessing on final score, what players do well here, what stats are essential in the model which is going...

The PLAYERS Championship Welcome back golf fans. I hope you enjoyed the Wells Fargo Championship where Jason Day picked up his second win of the season jumping him from #14 to #7 in the World Golf Rankings. It was no walk in the park, however, even with a two-stroke lead entering the final round as he made back to back Bogey's twice on Sunday giving both Aaron Wise and Nick Watney a shot. Day then pulled it all together and went through the Green Mile at -2 giving him a two-stroke win. This week the PGA Tour heads to TPC Sawgrass for the "Fifth Major", The PLAYERS Championship. The course is a Pete Dye design which automatically puts a ton of emphasis on Ball Striking. Strategic placement of the tee is needed with tight, tree-lined fairways with bunkers and water also in play. A shot that not only finds the fairway but also in the right spot will give the player a decent mid to long iron approach into the greens on most of the holes. TPC Sawgrass is one of the hardest tests on Tour and that is why we see the average winning score around -12. The other thing we will see is most of the players score coming from the four Par 5's as they make up for about 45% of the overall birdies on average. This means playing the Par 4's at even par or slightly below will put you ahead of the majority of the field putting you into contention come Sunday. This is one reason I will be focusing on players who are trending on the Par 4's in my model. Let's now take a look at some of the course details, trends, and then we can jump into the picks for the week looking at course history, current form, and the stats. The...

Valero Texas Open This week the PGA Tour heads back to Texas to TPC San Antonio for the Valero Texas Open. It's another weak field event as just one of the World's Top 10(Sergio Garcia) and eight of the Top 50 golfers will be teeing it up this week. This makes pricing a bit inflated, especially for the high-end golfers which can ultimately push us to a more balanced roster construction, at least from a cash game standpoint. The course is a Greg Norman design from 2010 with Sergio as the PGA Tour consultant. It has narrow Oak Tree-lined fairways with a ton native areas and while there is very little water, there are a ton of deep, challenging bunkers. The Oaks course is also a lengthy 7,435 yards so focusing on long hitters is a good strategy as well. There have been some shorter players off the tee who have done well here and if you are looking at some of them this week just make sure they are on point with their long irons and sand game. The average winning score here over the last five years has been -11 so it definitely won't be a birdie fest although I am always weighing Birdie or Better % as it correlates very highly with DraftKings scoring. The other big factor here at TPC San Antonio is the wind so using the multiple sources available(Fantasy National, Future of Fantasy Golfanac) to pick out some strong wind players is definitely a good idea. The forecast is, by no surprise, calling for 12-16 mph winds for Thursday and Friday with guts in the 20 mph range. As of Tuesday, it appears the Thursday afternoon wave may be the one to target if doing a wind stack in GPP formats but be sure to check back on that forecast as lineup lock...
