Think we'll all be back.

My issue last week was time and no course knowledge.

 

[laopadak]

Going through my plays for 2025, +24u through April. May, to date, has been one to forget, -62.35u alone. Home projects/renovations and an unfavorable month of betting (all sports it seems) has my pocket feeling and being thin. Let's turn this bitch around...

Schwab Cup / Colonial

Not a fan of Scottie playing here ...

You knew he was going to regardless

Probably a good week for Spieth to step up to the plate

Also I had no clue the guy ranked #11 was so close to cracking the top 10!

Mav has been excellent this season...

 

[B.A.R.]

Finishing lineups.

Look at the bottom..

WTF?

Corey Pavin?

Block should be priced at least a dollar less than the rest lol.

 

[KJ]

David Frost is 65

 

[B.A.R.]

David Frost is 65

As is Olin Browne.

I had to check my calendar when I saw these names.

Maybe Annika can play?

Was this the tournament she played like 20 years ago?

 

[B.A.R.]

All of these are at my PPH.

Shockingly enough, these are all better #s except for Harman and JJ which are the same as BOL.

Yes, Sheff is playing this week but darn it I hope he's a bit hungover.

Could be wishful thinking but I'm playing these all small for shits n giggles.

DFS study started getting myself fired up ... Hence...


Bud Cauley +10,000
Nico Echavarria +10,000
Harry Haul +6000
JJ Spaun+5000
Brian Harman+5000
Aaron Rai +3500
Daniel Berger +2500

Slightly bigger on "Rai Guy" and Berger.

I'll join on totals on Friday morning!

 

[Timh]

I took a shot on Harris English in my one and done.

 

[laopadak]

Rd.2 Schwab live play- Gerard -110 v. Hall 6u (DK).

Took it right at start, Gerard down 1 thru 2 now, +160 now. Hall on the front, Gerard on back, think it’s a good play, especially at the big +.

 

[laopadak]

Rd.2 adds- All DK

Live Gerard +380 v Hall 2u
Live Berger under 70.5 -110 5u
McNealy under 69.5 -120 5u

GL brother.

I capped quite a bit last night but nothing to fire on.

Hopefully tomorrow. Might tail something here in a bit.

I'm kicking ass on Day 1 DFS for the first time maybe all year so pretty excited about that.

Appreciate it big guy. Not seeing things well -17u Schwab. We’ll see if I jump back in but it’s easy to bleed units right now.

GL on the DFS / finishing plays.

 

[B.A.R.]

No more starting strokes at The Tour Championship

Wish they'd at least rotate it if not go somewhere different every year. Tired of East Lake

When I started getting into golf in the late 90s they played in Houston I believe?

I remember that's where Payne was flying when the plane incident happened?

I understand totally.

Let's grind out a few winners this week my man.

[B.A.R.]

I'm definitely focusing on a few things this week...

Course history as always, but dialing in on after 2020 renovations.

Off the tee and long approaches.

Lastly, around the greens.

Then adding in current form...

A few guys really coming into form lately....

Rickie
Finau
Cauley

Just to make a couple.

Rai Guy will be on my list due to his driver.

Adam Scott is a sneaky DFS pick with his history here and off a nice PGA finish.

Cantlay is the definition of "horse for a course".

Si Woo fits that category as well.

Scottie a no brainer, and he's on absolute fire right now. Will he be a bit tired with no break and a major win??

Just some early thoughts...

 

[B.A.R.]

Thought I typed this up last night, argh.


Xander +1400
Matt Fitz +5000
Bhatia +6600
Pendrith +7500

 

[laopadak]

GL Reno, watching live and hoping something good pops up.

Live Rd.1 Arnie- X under 71.5 -110 5u (DK). 1 under through 12.

Arnie-X is a new one!

 

[laopadak]

Arnie-X is a new one!

lol- that's how confused I am these days. Forgot it's Jack's place, not Arnie.

 

[laopadak]

Live Rd.1 Memorial- Bobby Mac +130 v. Homa 3u (DK). Down 1 stroke, thru 2.

 

[B.A.R.]

Kudos to Griffin.

That's impressive coming off a win.

Many guys with his place in the game are fully satisfied, fat n happy.

TWO bogeys as well! Front nine 31, those bogies and then birdied the last 3 holes.

That's just a great round at this track! Kudos!

 

[B.A.R.]

Should be a fun moving day!

What a finish today by Xander!

Sam Burns fires a 7 under.

Bhatia right in the thick of it.

 

[Jarrett75]

 

[B.A.R.]

Everyone over par today that's played 9+ holes except for JT.

Extremely windy up here so I'd assume same front went through.

This had to have made Scottie uncomfortable

Haha the last thing I think of as far as competition for him is LIV. Bryson maybe but none are conditioned to play four straight days. X, Rory, Colin are all much bigger competition that the little girls on that circuit.
