Tour rookie, Russell Henley, wins the Sony Open.
I watched Henley win the Georgia State Amateur Championship back in 2009. What struck me was he just made birdies one after another. It will be interesting to see what his metrics are like at the end of the year to see what makes him score so well.
Here’s a video of Henley’s swing.
Here are how my picks did at the Sony:
Zach Johnson 20/1 (MC)
Matt Kuchar 16/1 (t-5th)
Keegan Bradley 16/1 (t-49th)
Brendon de Jonge 33/1 (t-54th)
Brian Gay 40/1 (t-31st)
Ben Curtis 66/1 (Missed Cut)
Jimmy Walker 66/1 (t-26th)
Jeff Overton 66/1 (8th)
Webb Simpson 16/1 (t-20th)
Carl Pettersson 20/1 (t-59th)
Here are my picks for the Humana:
Bo Van Pelt 20/1
Matt Kuchar 14/1
Zach Johnson 28/1
Webb Simpson 18/1
John Senden 40/1
John Mallinger 100/1
Robert Garrigus 22/1
David Toms 40/1
Jeff Overton 50/1
Value Pick: Kevin Stadler 125/1
I will save my Zone play metrics for about another month or so as the sample size gets larger. Anyway, here is my top-50 players in Driving Effectiveness after the Sony Open (only 153 players qualified)
1. Fritsch, Brad
2. Yang, Y.E.
3. Knost, Colt
4. Thompson, Michael
5. Funk, Fred
6. Park, Jin
7. Knox, Russell
8. Gardiner, Scott
9. Weekley, Boo
10. Kokrak, Jason
11. Singh, Vijay
12. Stuard, Brian
13. Bryant, Bart
14. Ames, Stephen
15. Reavie, Chez
16. Dufner, Jason
17. Castro, Roberto
