The Course Memorial Park Golf Course Par 70 - 7,412 Yards Greens - Bermuda **Click the image above to see a hole-by-hole breakdown from PGATour.com** Previous Five Winners 2022 - Jason Kokrak(-10) 2021 - Carlos Ortiz(-13) This week the PGA Tour heads to Houston and Memorial Park Golf Course for the Cadence Bank Houston Open. The event dates back to the early 70's but this marks the third year that Memorial Park will play host and it has played as a Top 10 hardest course on tour in each of those previous seasons including the majors. The course is the longest Par 70 on tour listed at over 7,400 on the scorecard. Two of the five Par 3's exceed 200 yards(216, 237) and five of the 10 Par 4's are 490 yards or longer. This brings a few key factors into my stats model this week and its Driving Distance, Strokes Gained: Approach, Proximity from 200+ yards, and Par 4 scoring. Combine that with a touch of course history and some current form and we can start narrowing down the field and looking at some core plays. Let's dig in! Top Targets Scottie Scheffler World Golf Ranking (#2) Vegas Odds (6/1) Draftkings ($11,500) FanDuel ($12,000) There is a sizeable gap at the top of the salary this week as Scottie Scheffler looks back in form and ready to take back the #1 player in the world. After a disappointing T45 at the CJ Cup to open his PGA Tour season, Scottie bounced back last week with a T3 at the Mayakoba where he finished 4th in greens in regulation and also appears to have found the putter ranking 12th in putts per GIR in the field. He now returns to Memorial Park where he finished T2 last year and ended up rankings second in Strokes Gained: Tee to...

If you listen close enough you can hear Jim Nantz warming up his voice and that means we are only one week away from the Masters. Before we get too excited, however, we have one more warmup event that takes the tour to Texas for the Houston Open. The event has been played going all the way back to 1970 and has been played at a number of different courses including Champions GC, Westwood CC, Quail Valley GC, TPC Woodlands, and most recently the Golf Club of Houston. This year, the event moves again and will be hosted at Memorial Park Golf Course which has not been used on Tour since back in the 60's. It was completely overhauled in 2019 by Tom Doak with the consultation help of Brooks Koepka. It will play as a Par 70 this week for the pros. The fairways are smaller than average and while there are only 19 bunkers(post-renovation), trees, undulation, and water in play on four holes will force golfers to really think their way around the course not just bomb and gouge. For fantasy, this opens up the player pool a bit but when targeting shorter hitters, and this can be said for any course, you need to look closely at their iron game specifically from 175-200 and 200+ yards. Even if the longer hitters are playing somewhat conservative and "safe" off the tee, the long irons will be important and there are also three Par 4's of 490 or more yards and three par 3's of 200+ yards. Overall, I am once again looking for players in form not just with their finishes...

Houston Open After a Kevin Na playoff win over Patrick Cantlay at the Shriners Open, the PGA Tour fall season continues with a trip to Humble, Texas for the Houston Open. It is an event making its Fall debut and was normally played in late March/early April and was a favorite stop of many were preparing for the Masters the following week. With the scheduling change, there are a few changes overall with the biggest being the field and lack of depth at the top as none of the Top 35 players and just two of the Top 50 in the World are teeing it up this week. The Golf Club of Houston is a Par 72 setup that stretches out to a listed 7,441 yards on the scorecard(from last event). The fairways widths here are about average and looking at the last five events here, the average driving accuracy was slightly over 60% for the field and closer to 65% for the cut makers. There are definitely some challenges on some of the holes with bunkers in key landing areas and like Hole #1, on both sides of the fairway. With this course annually set up to somewhat resemble Augusta the rough was always low and could be grown out a bit more this year but should still offer easier than average approaches if a golfer should miss the fairway. This puts more weight on Strokes Gained: Approach for me when breaking down the Ball Striking stats this week. Speaking of those approach shots, the greens here at GC of Houston are much larger than average(7,500 sq ft) and many of them are multi-tiered and this brings in the importance of not just hitting the green(70%+ GIR annually) but getting it close to the pin(Proximity). When it comes to difficulty, the course has ranked outside the Top 23 in each of the last...
