Was a pretty good result for the bookies at Augusta, I've got to say. UL guys.
Following golf a lot this season as I play draft kings, so I always look forward for your picks and analysis.
My pick this week is Kisner (I got 28-1 6 places each way) - he has nice results at similar courses and didn't do too badly at Augusta and Snedeker (I got 22-1 6 places ew) - second best player in the field imo and should be clear second favourte. Maybe the bet is just for the win on Day at 6-1? It is boring just betting on the favourite though...
I'm also interested in Charley Hoffman, what's your opinion about him this week?
Luke Donald has amazing form on this course and is available at 55-1. Likewise McDowell at 50s. Both seems pretty out of form though, Donald moreso than G-Mac I guess? Agree that Casey seems a bit too short (overreaction to his Masters result?)
For draftkings I think I will be including a lot of Cink who is very cheap and seems like something of a course specialist.
Looking forward to seeing your picks!
Yeh, Augusta ended up being frustrating. We made profit but could have had a really nice week instead of a meh week. Just annoying not to be able to clean up with those incredible place terms.
Regarding this week, I think Day's natural talent will see him top 10 but the layout doesn't really suit his game brilliantly as he can be a bit loose off the tee. Sneds falls into the same bracket but is obviously 3x bigger in the betting and a former winner so I'd much rather back him.
This is certainly a horses for courses type track with a number of multiple winner and players with consistent top 10s. Given their form I'd rather play Donald and G-Mac on DraftKings than back them outright as it certainly wouldn't be a shock to see them up there on Sunday but I think their odds are about right.
Charley Hoffman has decent course form but bit too loose off the tee this season and I can't see him winning.
