golf is by far my worst sports but it's still profitable because there's a ton of guys who play for hundreds of dollars in dfs based on things like "he plays well in canada" despite that he has a sample size of 3 for "canada" and the person making this statement has no way to know if the courses in canada really have any measurable difference
I'm sure there's some stuff like this that factors in but a lot of it could easily just be noise
i'm willing to guess that since Spieth's main strength is putting, which is the most volatile skill by a large margin, he's more apt to do well then suddenly implode which could give this "bad weekend player impression"
but then again, maybe he parties too hard or can't handle the pressure etc,and the weekend dropoff is real, it's really hard to quantify
