- Recap of Last Week's Starts or Sits at the Genesis Open
Starts-
Starts-Dustin
Johnson
had a good week finishing at
-7
for 9th
place.
Justin Thomas,
enough
about his play last weekend as he shot a -13
for
second
place. The
player that many experts thought man up and play better was a three
time past winner
Bubba Watson
who shot -6
for
fifth place. Solid
player each week, Jon
Rahm
put down a -7
on his score card for a ninth
place
finish.
The
question of the week could Bryson
DeChambeau catch
some momentum early. The answer like the course on Thursday and
Friday, a washout as he shot a
-6
tied with numerous other golfers in 15th
place. We also finally placed Rory
McIlroy
as a start and he did not disappoint us with -11
for the wek good for fourth
place!
Week
5 Average:50
Strokes (8.3) for a 8th
place finish, 4 top 10 finishes and 6 of 6 Make Cut
Longshot:
Tiger Woods did
okay with a
-6 for
15th
place this
week, not bad, not good either as he finished with a gang of players
tied at that place.
Sits:
Adam
Scott did
better than half of the starter picks this week at
-9 for
seventh place. I
guess we will not throw this Aussie on the barbe any time soon. Well
in a recurring theme this week, sit selection Finau
shot another -6
for you guessed it, 15th
place.
Week
5 Average: 15 Strokes (7.5) for a 11th place finish,
and 2 for 2 Make Cut.
Totals
for the Season:
Start
Average:
-329 (11.6) 28 Golfers, (16h
Place), 28 for 28 Make Cut, 1 (0.20)Win and 16 (3.3) Top Ten
Finishes.
Sit
Average: -98(9.8) 10 Golfers, (18th Place) and 10 of
11 Make Cut, 1 (0.20) Win and 3 Top (0.6) Ten Finishes.
Starts
and Sits for the World
Golf Championships-Mexico Championship
Starts-
One
has to wonder if Justin
Thomas
can make it back this week from his 'massive' choke at the Genesis.
We will watch it again with apprehension. The ever dependable Dustin
Johnson
always a solid pick.
It
can get pretty basic with a pick like Rory
McIIroy,
however, an easy choice when he is on game. Also, if it looks like
another repeat pick, it is for Jon
Rahm.
All he ever does is finish in the top ten. The last two players will
be Rickie
Fowler
and Marc
Leishman.
Long
Shot:
Gary
Woodland,
ranked fifth
in greens in regulation and sixth in strokes gained per approach. His
best finish in two years was at the WGC Mexico, a 38th
place finish. However, steady play this season has him with Top 10s at
the Tournament of Champions a 2nd
place, The Farmers (T9) and Waste Management (T7).
Sits:
Patrick
Reed's
time has come and gone this season after win earlier in the year.
Also, a rather large course to play that needs a big hitter, apply to
him and Tony
Finau.
Good
Luck,
Colin,
'The Irish Highwayman'
