API Recap<\/h2>\n

Not my finest week, but I guess that’s what I get for turning my back on a long-time friend (and enemy) of my bankroll, Russell Henley<\/a>.\u00a0 Tough look for me using Xander.\u00a0 Turns out hitting it into the fairway bunker and then into the water isn’t a winning strategy.<\/p>\n

Last week’s picks<\/p>\n

Big Guns<\/h4>\n

Rory McIlroy<\/a> T15
\nLudvig \u00c5berg T22
\nXander Schauffele<\/a> T40<\/p>\n

Need to get unique?<\/h4>\n

Tommy Fleetwood<\/a> T11
\nSungjae Im<\/a> T19
\nSam Burns<\/a> T48<\/p>\n

Either way, we’re on the TPC Sawgrass where the field is elite, the water if plentiful, and the purse is MASSSSSSSIVE. (purse rankings<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Cut Makers<\/h2>\n

It’s an elite field, so I don’t want to waste time looking at who makes the cuts when so many guys do at like an 80% clip.\u00a0 This isn’t going to make the list a ton different, but I did sort by top 5% (last two years) instead.\u00a0 The big three on top here, but as always, a nice sized gap between Mr Scheffler and the next tier.\u00a0 Interestingly enough, last week’s running up\/melter is pretty much in that same tier as Rory and Xander as far as finishing in the top 5<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ball Striking<\/h2>\n

It’s a tough course, the greens are small and we’ve all seen what get it done here.\u00a0 Staying in trouble off the tee and finding the right quadrant of the green on approach.\u00a0 Sorted Ball Striking numbers for the past rolling 12 months, and boom, more of the same top names, but I did wonder which member of “team can’t putt” would show up, and Doug Ghim<\/a> is even higher than I had supposed.\u00a0 Still more confirmation for the obviously guys and some much needed validation for the Sepp Straka<\/a> crowd. (see the whole field on the site<\/a>)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Water Danger<\/h2>\n

It’s Florida; there’s a bunch of water. Hell, one of the greens is an island.\u00a0 I wanted to sort out some of the rounds up in Minnesota, so I set the water danger filter to high but then also took out any “easy” scoring rounds and “easy” fields.\u00a0 Again, the big names, but it’s still probably fine to ignore Viktor Hovland<\/span> until we see it in the short term.\u00a0 He’s been much to volatile to use this week.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Players One and Done Picks<\/h2>\n

It’s the biggest purse of the season; it’s not a time to get timid and throw a wildcard out there.\u00a0 Grab who you’re most confident in here and let ‘er rip.\u00a0 The winner gets a ton of money and is catapulted up the leaderboard.\u00a0 Big guns only this week.\u00a0 It’s not a no-brainer, you still want to find the correct big gun, but I think this is the list you want to work off of, even if your a ways down the leaderboard, there are better weeks to get cute and catch up.<\/p>\n

Scottie Scheffler<\/a><\/strong>
\nRory McIlroy<\/a><\/strong>
\nCollin Morikawa<\/a><\/strong>
\nXander Schauffele<\/a><\/strong>
\nTommy Fleetwood<\/a><\/strong>
\nLudvig \u00c5berg<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
