PGA Draftkings - Canadian Open - June 8 2022

Getting some data together this week. It is a bit trickier than previous as this course doesnt have a ton of history to pull from. Therefore getting the right skill set together could be tricky. Nonethless, will rely on the skill sets along with recent play to get it right!

It seems that driving accuracy could be relevant -or at least Fairways hit because of the skinny fairways expected. Then short game type stats like approach and putting are my main focuses this week. The performance section will highlight these guys better.

Last Update: 1:00pm I did some review with datagolf and am leaning more towards approach and putting than driving accuracy now as the primary stats. It is a limited data set but you have to plant your flag somewhere. I also noticed that the best correlation course on the table is pointing back to a recent course -> Byron Nelson in Texas. That course had high scoring and the top 20 there could eat again if they are in the field.

Final Data update! 9:00 pm

I'll start by saying that I'm not playing Scheffler. He's probably going to win and make me eat ramon noodles for a while but... I'm sticking to my guns that he isn't going to win this year again. Hes the most expensive and not necessarily low owned. The 7k range looks like its going to murder some lineups this week. I had to drop my odds filter to see some of these guys.

For clarity - > Harold Varner owns that green dot. He is below the value line. This can update tonight so keep checking back before lock.

Some interesting names showing up here. Cam Smith looks like the overall best play on the slate, but hes also over 32% owned so keep that in mind to what this week may look like.

Leverage look says Scheffler, I know. Lotta other names and so will have to wait and see what the best build for me looks like when fading an 11k golfer.

Recent play hints at this possibly being a Fitz week for me. I dont know the last time I said that, but he has had 3 top 15s in his last 5 outings and I know he is the putting type so theres that. When he makes the cut, hes in it for the win, averaging 7th in his last 5 outings where a cut was made. Also gonna shout out Cam Champ this week as hes playing well and hitting some charts.

Finally, the optimal percentages I am seeing per golfer. Cam Smith showing up top makes things very intruiging. Will have to see if it remains this way tonight!
