Without the Ryder Cup happening this year we immediately jump back into action and start the 2020-21 season with a trip to Silverado Resort & Spa for the Safeway Open. While we have been treated to some terrific fields since the return of golf(that includes the non WGC's, Majors, and Playoff events), this is not one of those weeks. There are no players ranked inside the Top 25 and only five who rank Top 50 in the Official World Golf Rankings. Outside that Top 50 but #1 in our hearts this week is Phil Mickelson who is coming off a win in his very first Champions Tour event. This event has changed names(previously Frys.com Open) and has been played at Silverado Resort & Spa since the 2015-16 season giving us six years of course history. The fairways at Silverado are narrow which has produced a low driving accuracy number which sits around 50% each year. This doesn't mean we need accuracy guys mostly because the rough is not nearly as penal(around 2.5-3") which shows as the average GIR over the same sample size is between 65% and 70%. Looking at the hole composition, nine fo the 10 par 4 holes are under 450 yards so when breaking down a player's iron game, we are most likely going to see a ton of approaches coming in the mid ranges(125-175 yards). All four par 5's are reachable in two by almost everyone in the field and this has led to an average around 30 eagles per event. For the most part, I will be looking at players who are trending in the ball striking and...

Safeway Open The Fall season continues this week with the Safeway Open. Through three events, this is easily the best field we have seen and is led by three Top 10 players(Official World Golf Ranking) in Justin Thomas(#6), Patrick Cantlay(#7), and Francesco Molinari(#9). For the last five years(back to 2014-15 season), this event has been hosted at Silverado Resort & Spa in Napa, California. It is a Par 72 course on the shorter side of things listed at 7,166 yards, has seen an average winning score of -15, and has ranked outside the Top 20 in difficulty in all five years as well. Off the tee, golfers see fairly tough fairways to hit averaging in the mid 50% range in terms of accuracy over the last five years. What makes this more of a second shot course is the fact the rough is not very penal with max length in the second cut around 2.5" in length. Looking at the past Strokes Gained data also backs this up as Strokes Gained: Approach has been about twice as correlated to finish position than Strokes Gained: Off the Tee. The four Par 5's are the easiest holes on the course and for this reason and I will be weighing Par 4 scoring over Par 5 scoring as this is where golfers can separate themselves from the pack and this also shows when looking at the correlations. To cap off the key stats, Birdie or Better % is always key and the most correlated stat in terms of fantasy scoring. With this, I love digging a bit deeper using Fantasy National Golf Club and looking not only at Birdie or Better but Opportunities Gained to find some golfers trending in the right direction. Let's now look at the course, previous winners, and key stats list then dive into the picks. The Course Silverado Resort & Spa -...
