PGA Honda Classic Course PGA National(Champion), Palm Beach Gardens, Florida Par 70 7140 Yards This week the PGA Tour travels to Florida for the Honda Classic. It is the beginning of the Florida swing and the PGA National has hosted the event since 2007. The course is known for its famous 3 hole stretch called “the bear trap” which got its name when Jack Nicklaus redesigned the course to make it tougher than it previously was. The course is a Par 70 setup with only 2 Par 5’s and 4 Par 3’s. The wind in Florida can howl making this a very tough test as most holes are guarded by a collection of Sand Bunkers and Water. Accuracy off the tee and around the green is crucial for this event. If you are targeting golfers who don’t hit the greens regularly, you need them to be very good scramblers, especially from the sand. Here are the stats I will be concentrating on this week: Ball Striking SG: Tee to Green SG: Putting GIR Scrambling Par 3 Performance Tier 1 Targets (DK Price $9000-Max) Note: With Rory’s return to the USA it puts his rice well above all other golfers this week and making him a fade for me. You can acquire the same upside for less salary and fit better golfers around him without taking risks with scrubs. Justin Rose - $10,800 (Vegas Odds – 21/1) It’s Rose’s first tournament on the PGA Tour since the Farmers where he had a bogey-filled first round to send him home before the weekend. There are no 2015 stats updated for Rose yet on the PGA so I looked at his 2014 stats closely as well as his 2 starts on Euro Tour in 2015. He has 2 top 13 finishes on Euro Tour so far and is hitting greens at a 75% Clip. His Scrambling is also ranked 12th on Euro Tour so far at 68%. His 2014 stats on PGA Tour are also good (Ball Striking-47th, SG:Tee to Green-4th, GIR-41st, Scrambling-31st) His course history is what really made him my top target. His last 3 starts here saw him go T4, T5, Solo 3rd. He has made 4/5 cuts here since the tournament moved to PGA National in 2007. Brooks Koepka - $9,500 (Vegas Odds – 34/1) Brooks has not played since the Farmers a few weeks ago where he finished...

Farmers Insurance Open Recap To start off my second article I would like to look back at last week’s picks and give you quick recap of results. Jimmy Walker (T7) – Climbed into contention on Saturday but couldn’t strike on Sunday Hideki Matsyuma (MC) – Couldn’t get the putter going. Made a few chip ins which over shadowed the poor performance Martin Laird (T7) – Had 3 rounds under 70 and if not for a 76 Saturday in the tough weather he would have been at top of the leaderboard Charley Hoffman (MC) – Was unable to make birdies in tougher conditions Brendan De Jonge (T27) – Played a nice 5 under to make the cut then faded a bit on the weekend playing at a 3 over but solid finish for the price Ryo Ishikawa (MC) – Shot a steady even par the first 2 days but it wasn’t enough to make the cut Hudson Swafford (MC) – This long shot came close to making the cut but not enough birdies Friday has him miss out on the weekend. Carlos Ortiz (T11) – This long shot paid off at his price if you used him. Great finish for the youngster. To recap I hit 1 player in every Tier who made the cut and finished with two T7’s, a T11, and a T27. Looking to improve on those numbers this week ladies and gents! On to this week.   AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am Courses Pebble Beach Golf Links – Par 72 (6816 Yds), Monterey Peninsula Country Club Shore Course – Par 71 (6867 Yds) Spyglass Hill Golf Course – Par 72 (6953 Yds) This week the PGA Tour makes a stop at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro Am. Much like the Humana Challenge this event will be played at 3 different courses for the first 3 days before the cut is made. During these 3 days each player is matched with a celebrity/amateur player and gets a chance to play each course. All 3 courses are under 7000 yards in distance and each course has four Par 5’s. This week I will be looking closely at course history and how players faired at the Humana as playing with an amateur for 3 days at a slower than usual pace can affect their games. I will also be looking at current form and these...
