Not sure why I decided to play hoops last night since Golf is my bread and butter….

$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Luke Donald > Jimmy Walker – 1^st Round (-102) $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

The tour finally makes its way to Jupiter Florida for the east coast swing (my favorite part of the season) which means one main thing. BAD NEWS FOR JIMMY WALKER! Jimbo loves his time out west with notable successes at the Sony Open, Hyundai, Farmers, Pebble & Northern Trust. Over the past 5 years he has had a top 10 in at least 3 of the 5 out of those courses. I’m not sure what he eats on his flight over to the east coast but whatever it is, is bad for his game. Walker is uncharacteristically poor in Florida, especially at PGA National. It usually is not until Texas where he gets his game together. To further add flames to the fire Walker shot 72-71 to miss the cut last week at the Northern Trust, a course he usually is able to find success. The confluence of his worse than usual form and poor play in Florida make Jimmy a nice fade today. On the other side my man Luke Donald loves Jupiter and the results show it. Four top 10s in his last four trips to PGA National including a runner-up. Despite his lackluster start to the year what a better time to get things rolling than at his best course on the tour. Another key advantage I like is Luke Donald’s 12^th ranked scrambling stat vs. Jimmy Walkers 50^th rank. On a course where the Bear Trap (16,17,18) can make or break a round, being able to scramble in the words of Donald Trump is “YUUUUUUGE”. Getting out of the bear trap at even par is extremely important so being able to scramble well should help Luke do that. Donald also greatly outranks Walker in proximity rank which is important on this course as well. Expecting Luke to go for five straight top 10s at PGA National and will start that off with a nice first round to put him in place to make that happen. Should be a great tourney!!

Hey @Bubbaski I know you're a golf guy too so any feedback on this play would be great. Also.... any other Northern Trust plays you like today either inside or outside of the juice limit on this thread?

First time poster here! Just so everyone knows Golf is my go-to sport to bet on. Don’t know much about CBB at all so thanks everyone for all the picks!

$$$$$$$$$$  Freddie Jacobson (-125) >>> Si Woo Kim $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

The sweed has been playing some great golf as of lately with three top 5 finishes in his last four tournaments including last week at pebble where he was positioned to win on Sunday. The kicker here for me is his putting. Freddie could be the best putter on tour right now and yesterday was no different with young fred putting up a 2.472 SG Putting in the first round. Freddie is also right on the cut line so I expect him to be more strategic today with the driver. On the flip side Si Woo Kim is posting a negative SG putting and doesn’t even crack the top 100 in that stat category this season. Kim also hasn’t broken 70 in his last nine times out on the course. Expect Freddie to come out hot with the putter today and play with some fire so he can keep playing this weekend.
