    The Recap

    Last week went well. Free Bet cashes as Daniel Berger finishes in the Top 20. Sergio did not finish in the Top 20, that bet lost, but he did beat Rose in the matchup. Scheffler handled his business versus Finau. Final Tally +1.9units. I have been on a strong streak since July 8th, I am up 8.4 units.

     

    The Preview

    Defending Champ: Jim Herman. This is the last stop of the season for the PGA Tour. The FedEX playoffs start on August 19 at The Northern Trust in New Jersey. It will last three tournaments and end with The Tour Championship on September 2nd.

     

    The Favorites

    The majority of the top ranked golfers are sitting this tournament out. Reed and Matsuyama are the biggest names at the tournament. As a result, the model has some random names. The Favorites are Webb Simpson +2500, Louis Oosthuizen +3000, Hideki Matsuyama +3000.

     

    The Model

    In creating the model this week, I used Strokes Gained Total, Off the Tee, Short Game, and Approach (Last 8 rounds and 36 rounds). Also, I used Strokes Gained at Sedgefield in the last 8 rounds and 36 rounds. I used Strokes Gained on Par 4s 400-450 yards in the last 8 and 36 rounds.
