There is no ShotLink data for two of the three courses this week so there will be no Strokes Gained charts for betting or Showdown. Round 2 does not start until 11:30 am ET on Friday.

-1.154 = Monterey Peninsula (69.8)
-1.019 = Pebble Beach (70.9)

Weather Forecast – Pebble Beach, California
Round 2 Course History and Other Data
Best Outright Adds
Tee times for Rounds 2 and 3 are here.
As I mentioned on Discord, playing the wind game and adding outrights is a very tricky, yet potentially profitable, endeavor this weekend. If you are looking to play this game, there is a group of 12 players who tee off later on Friday and are also early enough on Saturday to possibly miss the worst of the wind on both days. I honestly do not think there is much to be gained simply because everyone is teeing off within a two-hour window. Some of the players have more winning potential than others, but I will rank the list below along with their odds to win and how many shots back they are. If you are looking for exact tee times, they are in the link above.
- Scott Stallings – 3 back (+2200)
- Tom Hoge – 7 back (+6600)
- Matthew NeSmith – 5 back (+7500)
- Greyson Sigg – 5 back (+10000)
- Hank Lebioda – LEADER (+3600)
- Ben Martin – 4 back (+8000)
- David Lipsky – 6 back (+12500)
- Garrick Higgo – 5 back (+5000)
- Ryan Moore – 4 back (+22500)
- Joseph Bramlett – 4 back (+2200)
