3Jack PGA Tour Rundown - Week 6

After picking the 2nd place finisher 3 weeks in a row and then picking Kyle Stanley to win at the Waste Management, I had a rough week at the AT&T

Rickie Fowler: CUT
Rory Sabbatini: CUT
Martin Laird: MDF
Cameron Tringale: T-61st
DJ Trahan: t-40th

VALUE PICK: Ryan Palmer: t-29th

I think the issue I run into with the AT&T is that they are playing 3 different courses and that makes it more difficult to ‘profile’ the golfers that typically have success there. I also think that the Pro-Am format doesn’t help matters either and I think what winds up happening is that success at the AT&T is usually from the same golfers who play well there year in and year out instead of golfers whose game fits the course. It’s a similar type of issue I run into at the PGA Championship, US Open and British Open because they are playing new courses each year.

For those who want to know, Mickelson won the AT&T with his putting as he demolished the field in the Putts Gained category. Mickelson has stated that he’s worked extra hard on his putting in the offseason. I noticed that he didn’t seem to be ramming putts at the cup and instead getting a better capture speed. Could be something to watch out for this year.

Here are my picks for the Northern Trust Open:

Aaron Baddeley: 30/1
Hunter Mahan: 33/1
Nick Watney: 33/1
KJ Choi: 40/1
Brendon De Jonge: 80/1

VALUE PICK: Jonathan Byrd: 100/1
