The Mexico Championship

A. Ancer @ 51.0 (0.65 units) 20% 1-7
S.J.Im @ 51.0 (0.65 units) 20% 1-7

Ben An @ 81.0 (0.4 units) 20% 1-7
B. Snedeker @81.0 (0.4 units) 20% 1-7

B. Todd @126.0 (0.3 units) 20% 1-7
C. Conners @126.0 (0.3 units) 20% 1-7

2.7 units total is a fairly conservative wager amount for me, not taking anyone in the 19-36 range this week. Ancer was added in last minute, but either way profit on any each way result.

ran my model, here are my generic and arbitrary rankings, i'll have this published in blog form tomorrow because i have so little faith in it i'll share it publicly whereas will never share hockey info etc etc so take this all with a grain of salt

hey guys, what are your general thoughts on strokes gained? better yet, how do you feel about this variant of "true strokes gained"

https://datagolf.org/true-strokes-gained

Interesting post Rickroll, I have Ancer/Im/Conners in your tier 3, but 51.0 on Ancer/Im and 126.0 on Conners. I would def agree that a lot of your euro players are undervalued.

I'm big on SGA this week, much easier greens than usual so our putt punters have a shot I think.

Tempted to add half the field to my line up this week, but one small addition

Jazz Janewattananond @ 170.0 (0.15 units) 25% 1-5

^Using a bet boost for this, normal price is 151.0 on ladbrokes.

Welcome!

Dechambeau is on my ban list, but I really like Perez > Hatton

yeah in a sports betting thread here I got dressed down and very rightly so for not accounting enough for data accumulated outside of PGA america, will adjust that going forward

finished building my new optimizer just now

cash line
Corey Conners
Hideki Matsuyama
Collin Morikawa
Jon Rahm
Webb Simpson
Sungjae Im

here's my overall player pool in order of exposure - only 10x lines (may throw in some more if there is overlay but that's unlikely as the mme tends to fill)

some of these guys are more salary than desire, yahoo has pretty weird pricing at times

Hideki Matsuyama
Corey Conners
Sergio Garcia
Webb Simpson
Rory McIlroy
Collin Morikawa
Jon Rahm
Sungjae Im
Bubba Watson
Adam Scott
Justin Thomas
Jordan Spieth
Bryson DeChambeau
Byeong Hun An

I was keen on Hideki, but my low price point was 23.0. I'll be following Morikawa closely this week, been keen on him for a while, but he's blowing up randomly at the moment.

It's time for Im to get it done soon really , we've seen a decent correction in his price at least!

Should be an interesting week, gl everyone

Wow, I'm literally the only person without Rory in a bunch of my cash groups, looks like I'll be rooting against him it seems

Luckily the late slate meant degens were awake to last minute reg and thus I wasn't tempted by overlay, just have about 400 in cash and 200 in gpp. But what sucks is if I lose I'll be upset but now if I win I'll be even angrier for not playing with more... Golf DFS is so fun to model but the worst sweat because I just root against guys I don't have instead of enjoying it

Yeah, it's always the risk in events like these with Rory / Thomas, that they're just unbeatable on the week.

Ben An's putting is actually hilarious at this stage. 3 putted twice from less than 2 feet. Conners missed an 18 incher too

An opened with a 4-putt.

Great week in Cash games but the Perez bet was finished real early, he did rally well after his first round blow up.

Onto the Honda and its a week of misfits for mine, but the players im interested in so far for cash games are:

Fleetwood
Horschel
Im
Westwood
Woodland
Berger
W.Clark
Fowler

6-4-0, 60% winning percentage

10 units wagered

+2.008, 20% return

[All plays are tournament match-ups]

Honda Classic

McNealy -101 vs. Henley

Berger -100 vs. Hovland

Cauley -101 vs. Glover

Oman Open

Pavon -108 vs. Wu

Norris +119 vs. Li

As a W.Clark Fanboi, I can't endorse him any time soon. He's been striking the ball like azz and only gaining strokes putting.

Im with you after having a deeper look, and pivoted off him and went with NeSmith

Current line up is:

An
Horschel
Im
Palmer (probably finds a way out of the lineup)
Stuard
NeSmith

Happy with 4.5/6 players for cash but not sold on Horschel (gonna be chalky coming off 2 nice weeks) and Palmer

I've fallen out with the Koreans, as has my bank account.

I think i'm actually taking this week off, just no fun when getting hammered. Glad I've been posting all the results though and I've had a reason behind every decision, they just haven't been great.

Can never learn without accountability, as depressing as it is to update this profit count:

weekly profit -2.7 units
total profit +14.55

My cash lineup on DK is a mix of good wind players and guys who are playing well coming in:

Hovland, Lowry, Poulter, Palmer, Bradley, Nesmith

On FD:
Lowry, An, Conners, McNealy, Berger, Poston

On SD:
P-Rodgers (1.4x), Stanley (1.45x), Knox (1.25), Norlander (1.4), McNealy (1.35), and Mark Anderson (1.5)

Good luck bud, I've ended up on An, NeSmith, Horschel, Im, Schenk, English for my DK lineup

Does anyone bet 1st round leaders ? Any angle here?

Wyndham Clark is 9th in SG-APP and 2nd in SG-T2G while he shot 68. What is happening?

got 6/6 through with the squad

An, Cauley, Fleetwood, Harman, Sabbataini, V Taylor on DK

Fleetwood, Woodland, An, V. Taylor, Harman, Sabbatini on FD

and still losing everything

On DK, my best is 5/6.

Im, Vegas, Lowry, McNealy, Berger, and Kyle Stanley


Same on FD.

Lowry, An, McNealy, Poston, Berger, and Conners

Same on SD.

KH Lee, Hubbard, Mark Anderson, Cam Davis, Long, and Grillo





It doesn't have to be a bad week since some big names MCed.

oh man, what a bloodbath today

had multiple top 10 lines in day one in the gpps, was basically in first in every cash group i was in

then today happened

furyk/rose/woodland/kh lee/varner/redman were my cash line

really upset because was supposed to fleetwood but had issues with the csv and had to manually edit some of the lines minutes before lock and accidentally clicked rose instead fleetwood because they are same price and next to each other and didn't have time to notice or fix

taking a hard stance of Lee and Redman looked genius at the end of day one and then apparently redman must have gone for a swim today

every h2h except one (of course it's the 1k one) has less than 6/6, so tomorrow hopefully will be making money

what do you puttndits think about these Omar Open to win odds, seem a lil high

Samooja +850
Gallacher +800
Colsaerets +900

I'm all in on all of them

three guys i never heard of, my tiny pond of yahoo don't do non pga

sigs just curious how your own system would have compared to this - i meant to share it hear but forgot about early start time and wanted to tweak it first
