I'm gonna blow everyone's mind with some of the stats this week...
Dustin over Rory
Dustin cashed this last week...riding with it again.
Bubba over Kuchar
I like Bubba's length on this course to overpower some holes, especially the par 5's. Kuchar finished 65th last week, has struggled in the majors...and Bubba is the underdog here.
Hoffman over Grace
Grace has missed the cut 2 times in a row...before that, super inconsistent. Hoffman on the other hand has a very quiet 25th and 13th the last 2 tourneys. He's been up and down this year...I think he may be hitting one of his hot streaks.
Jhonattan Vegas over Harris English
Crazy stat: Vegas has 7 straight made cuts, and 4 top 25's in that span.
Harris English only has 4 top 25 finishes in all of 2016. English is making cuts, but not doing anything with them. Last 4 tourneys he has two 60th place finishes, and two 46th place finishes.
Alex Cejka over Ben Martin
Cejka didn't play last week so he's off of everyone's radar. Before that he has 3 straight top 21 finishes (and has been one of my draftkings darlings). Ben Martin has missed the cut 3 out of 5 tourneys. He has a 2nd at the John Deere (congrats on that finish at that elite tourney), but other than that he's been mediocre at best.
1st round matchups
Had success in 1st round last week...gonna keep it up. (I go into much more detail on the podcast this week)
Day over Rory
Dustin over Rory
First Round Stats
DJ last 9 tourneys only 1 round over 71

Rory last 11 tourneys 1 round under 71
Casey over Schwartzel
Casey has better first round scores than Schwartzel the last 4 tourneys.
Reed over Scott
Reed Scott
(tee times and Scores)
Barclays 8:15(66) 8:26(70)
The Open 8:00(66) 2:45(70)
Wyndham 8:00(66)
Travelers 1:25(72)
Bridgestone 1:15(74) 11:48(71)
Adam Scott's best 1st round score this year was at the Arnold Palmer where he shot a 67...his tee time was 8:11 am.
Basically, Reed and Scott love playing in the morning...not so much in the afternoon.
Tee times this week? Reed 9:15 Scott 1:40
(took me an hour to look up that stats...you're welcome everyone)
