Kapalua Week -- TOC

[B.A.R.]

Here we go!

39 man field.

Rory skipping, so he is now committed to the other 11 elevated events (you get to miss one).

JT? History and I think he has a HUGE year...

 

[KJ]

Might find one or two to put a couple bucks on

Think Collin has a big year and certainly can show out West

Players who's game plays well at Augusta usually translates to Kapalua because of all the sidehill lies and undulating greens. But you also have to factor in the winds on the island, though early forecasts call for moderate winds. Haven't played anything yet, but will be looking at iron play as my most important skill, in addition to the success at Augusta angle. Really sucks that Cam Smith isn't here though

 

[gps_3]

Assuming he's fully healthy, Willy Z at +2300 has my attention

Assuming he's fully healthy, Willy Z at +2300 has my attention

Saw he was hitting a driver that was cut shorter?

He'll go back at some point but he's trying to change some angles on his setup to not hurt the back so much.

Obviously, he has a nice price this week but rust scares me along with the changes...

 

[KJ]

Nice thing with the later start tomorrow it gives time to catch up a bit...just vaguely I haven't looked into much but have seen Z and Cantlay as possible fades in this tournament, haven't read the details yet. Beauty of only 39 players means it shouldn't be too labor intensive.

The reruns these past few weeks has me jonesing for live action. The beautiful scenery of Maui is going to get me hating Denver until the spring arrives.

Yeah, watching the tour the first two months is miserable for that factor.

[B.A.R.]

The NLU guys played a round with Spieth and JT at Kapalua.

The YouTube video came out tonight. Freaking awesome. Definitely worth the 90 mins to watch.

Jordan rusty as can be though, as Bones noted. JT looked great.

 

[B.A.R.]

Took JT 10-1.

Will look after RD1 at a few more perhaps.

 

[KJ]

Just played Tom Kim 3 way against Spieth

10 +235
11 +320

2 units each, be more surprised if he doesn't win either than if he wins both

 

[KJ]

If they don't get any wind this will likely finish in the -30s. Better wear your birdie shoes!

Homa +120 over Schauffele in Rd 2

Said Schauffele, who is suffering from an issue in his back, "Speed's down. Kind of just swinging, a little powderpuffing it out there."

Sucks because Homa is on my fade list this year but can't argue with science

Rd2

Stallings ov Finau +149

...SG:total +1.23 for each of them, but Stallings way outpaced Tony OTT and faltered ARG and APP -- I'm willing to discount those two metrics on this course, especially at this price

Brehm ov Power +244

...a huge SG edge for Brehm in putting versus a large edge for Power ARG...I'll back the hot flat stick at a big price


Swing it easy boys.

Pushed JT over X yesterday. JT left 3 strokes out there on the back 9.

Pushed JT over X yesterday. JT left 3 strokes out there on the back 9.

I laid the -0.5…double bogey on 17 to crush me

 

[KJ]

Going to play hole by hole today, DK

Caesars is more fun so might put some wood into them too

 

[KJ]

Put in 2* on Collin Top 5 +110

Also .5* X top 10 +330

Don't try to predict weather, no one can on islands. Could always see a beautiful day, then 30 mph winds, then beautiful day again all in an hour and no one could see it coming

 

[B.A.R.]

Xander WD

 

[B.A.R.]

Xander WD

He made it through 9 holes so we'll win our matchups @chipnotized

 

[KJ]

Xander WD

Bad news for someone his size

Expected from the taller more gangly type but compact guys rarely have back issues that young

 

[KJ]

Just took JT 3 way v Svensson

15 +175
16 +175
17 +180

2* each

Figure if he's gonna make a move it will be these final holes today

 

[KJ]

One in, like the odds now for sure

 

[KJ]

Action!

JT birdie or better on 18 -140 3*

 

[KJ]

Im 3 way over Wise

10th: +260
11th: +290

 

[KJ]

Im wins 10

Forgot how awesome January golf is
