Pretty much a regular
New podcast name came out today. Thank you to everyone who listens. Hoping to bring the excitement of our golf community to other sports! Here are the picks for this week!!!
Tiger Woods ov Jason Day
I can’t believe I’m betting on Tiger ov Jason Day, but Tiger looks on a mission, and these numbers don’t lie. Tiger has finished ahead of Jason Day in 4 of the last 5 tournaments they’ve played in together. Here’s the other thing. Jason Day hasn’t cracked into the top 10 since The Players. So Day has been good, but not elite. Tiger has 3 top 6 finishes in his last 4 tournaments, and the other thing I love about this play is that this course can be navigated without driver. Three woods, and irons can be used off the tees, and that’s been Tigers big problem. Hit no fairways on the front 9 at the PGA, and still finished 2nd.
Ian Poulter ov Phil Mickelson
Ian Poulter is playing great golf right now, and is fighting for a spot on the Ryder Cup Team that he already probably has locked up. Phil is not playing good golf now, MC, 24, 24, MC, 65, 48 in his last 5 finishes. Poulter 31, 10, 12, mc, 30, 21, 25, 8. Poulter has beat Phil head to head in 4 out of the last 5 tournaments coming into this week, and even though the Northern Trust switches courses, and tournament history is not very important in handicapping, Phil has 3 finishes outside the top 50 in 3 of the last 4 years.
Tony Finau ov Matt Kuchar
Kuchar sure seems to be slowing down as this season comes to an end. He’s only missed 4 cuts this entire season, but they’ve all come after May 20, and he’s missed the cut in 2 out of the last 3 weeks. Finau, on the other hand has been really good coming down the stretch, only 1 missed cut since April. He’s made the cut in 6 straight tournaments, and in big tournaments this year with stacked fields, he’s been great. 10th at the Masters, 5th US Open, 9th The British, 10th WGC Bridgestone, 42nd at the Pga Championship. Finau’s played this tournament 3 times, never missed the cut, including 2 top 16s.
Brian Yag ov Chesson Hadley
Brian Yag has been shockingly good recently, while Chesson Hadley continues his lackluster end to the season. Brian Yag has 1 missed cut in then last 11 tournaments, including 6 top 20s in that span. Chesson Hadley started out pretty strong, and had a good middle of the year, but it was mostly playing in weak tournaments like the Houston Open, RBC Heritage, Valero, and Zurich. But now as we get into the tough tournaments he missed the cut at the US Open, Travelers, The British, and PGA Championship, 72nd at the John Deere and 45th at the Wyndham.
Abraham Ancer ov Aaron Wise
Since his win, Aaron Wise has made the cut 1 time in 7 tournaments. This is just a fade of him. Abraham Ancer has been ok, not great…7 made cuts in the last 10 tournaments he’s played in, and since Aaron Wise’s win, they’ve played in 2 tournaments together…Ancer has beaten him in both of those.
Tiger Woods ov Jason Day
I can’t believe I’m betting on Tiger ov Jason Day, but Tiger looks on a mission, and these numbers don’t lie.
