Inplay trade at the Mayo classic

This week's round 2-3 trade for the Mayakoba Classic involves backing 4 guys from the early wave on an average score of -6:

Zach Johnson 19.00 -7
Russell Henley 44.00 -5
Chez Reavie 32.00 -5
Mark Hubbard 26.00 -7

Scoring average from the early starters in round 1 was half a shot better than the late and wind conditions are expected to be similar on saturday, with wind getting up as the day goes on. As you can see, I've backed the quartet to level stakes with the plan / hope to trade out between 36-54 holes depending on how much play we see on Saturday

Having watched the tournament develop yesterday, conditions look great for low scoring but there's still some big punishment for errant drives with more than 1 shot often going for a stray ball. The players above largely fit the profile of point to point golfers who make a lot of birdies. ZJ and Chez excel with the wedges and short irons into these soft greens and Henley can go super low when that putter hots up. He also has a super high ball flight which is suited to taking these pins out this week.

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.
