The Memorial Tournament Golf Betting Tips - Sticking With Course Specialist Hideki
Follow @NicsPicks
Hideki Matsuyama was pretty flawless tee to green again last week with nearly 80% GIR hit, and had the usual mare on the greens. I'm hoping the slicker surfaces will see a return to the norm for the course specialist at the Memorial Tournament
We have the 2nd week in a row at Muirfield village for the Memorial Tournament. Week 1 at the workday was an enthralling encounter and that was probably Muirfield Village at it's easiest. It wasn't easy. It will be even tougher this week though as the rest of the big boys fly in to make it a major type field and betting market, and what a track to battle it out on.
Jack's place will let the rough grow for the Memorial tournament and the greens will be back to the usual 13+ on the stimp for Memorial. Pin and tee positions will revert to a more normal feel and the #shortside theme and leaving the ball in the right places from approach will be even a more prominent theme in the 2nd edition.

Big hitter who can take advantage of par fives, and excels in the iron department. Experience and course management a big advantage
The course: Muirfield Village: Par 72, 7,392 yards (Memorial 2019)
Key Features
Average size greens (some elevated) surrounded by deep bunkers or very penal rough - tucked pin positions - scorable par 5s - Lush and penal fairway rough - generous landing areas - elevation changes - bomber surfaces - long second shots - deep fairway bunkering
Greens: Bentgrass (average and superfast from above hole and even faster this week for the Memorial Tournament)
Fibre: Kentucky, Rye, Fescue (lush and deep around fairways and greens)
It's all about the second shots here at the Memorial Tournament - mainly the longer irons on the par 4s, and it's imperative to hit the fairways on the par 5s and give yourself a chance to set up an eagle (longer hitters need only apply)
