1st - Joaquin Niemann (+2,200)
2nd - Tom Hoge (+15,000)
t-3rd - Brian Harman (+5,000)
t-3rd - Nate Lashley (+12,500)
t-3rd - Harris English (+15,000)
t-3rd - Richy Werenski (+20,000)
This can help explain why Niemann won by so many shots as the rest of the contenders were mostly massive long shots (sans Harman). And Niemann was one of the favorites to win.
The Tour comes back to Mississippi and the CC of Jackson for the Sanderson Farms Championship:
Typically the Sanderson Farms Championship has one of the weakest fields on Tour and has been mostly reserved for rookies and players with partial exempt status or guys that were in the 100-125 ranking in FedEx points in the previous season. Due to the change of the scheduling the field is stronger this year that it has been in the past. The course has typically favored the players that are best at longer approach shots. However, this comes with the preamble of the event typically having weak fields and weaker fields typically mean weaker long approach shot play. Thus, if the field was as strong as say the field at the Memorial where more players are adept on long approach shots, the course might yield more strokes in a different part of the game.
The last critical hole of CC Jackson is the 330-yard, par-4 15th hole.
The hole is certainly drivable although there are quite a few layups. Birdies (red dots) were made from everywhere regardless if the player layed-up or went for the green. The data shows that going for the green is the correct play as a higher percentage of birdies went to those that went for the green and it puts eagle into play.
PROJECTED WINNING SCORE: -20

It's a tough and cool choice for a child to choose to play professional golf! Choosing to become a professional golfer, like any professional athlete, is a tough training process. Adhering to the sport of golf requires a lot of investment in the early stage, both spiritually and materially. Maybe you need a Caddytek CaddyView V2, for example, and another brand of rangefinder will do.
