Valero Texas Open


This weeks track - La Cantera was ranked 1 of the easiest courses on tour last year (39/54) and appeals to the 'birdie makers' on tour. Scoring is usually very low with pins there to be attacked.

0.5pts E/W Daniel Chopra @ 50/1 (general) Third here in 2007 and fired a blitz of birdies last week, his failing being a lot of mistakes in between but this course won't be nearly as punishing

0.5pts E/W Jason Day 36 hole leader @ 80/1 (William Hill) Fast starter who makes an awful lot of birdies

0.5pts E/W Heath Slocum @ 100/1 (ladbrokes) Not really found form this year but good record on this course, it fits his eye

0.5pts E/W Dean Wilson @ 50/1 (general) After a more thorough study, the conclusion is that the short hitters form is deceptively good this year and even though he missed the cut last week, his putting was right up there. He has the game for this course as his course form shows.

Tournament match betting

-2pts Dean wilson win vs JJ henry @ 10/11 (totesport) Henry in terrible form this season so far

What is expected Strokes Gained Course Fit ?

Bryan pioneered the concept of Expected Strokes Gained Course Fit (xSGF) in golf betting. xSGF can be predicted using my model below. For prospective golf betting tips it projects ahead of time how many shots a player is expected to pick up per round on average on a particular golf course. It's weighed against a neutral golf course of the same rating.

What is Progressive Form in Golf Betting?

Progressive form in golf betting differs from current form in that players are showing a trend in the right direction in their recent scoring. Trending form has a high predictive value in golf betting and can also catch players under the radar at an inflated price vs their true betting odds.
