·33 min·3 clips

How did Cam Davis's course history on easy courses make him a core play despite poor season form?

The episode begins with hosts Jeff Bergersen and Zachary Turcotte welcoming listeners and promoting FantasyGolfInsider.com premium membership. They recap the Rocket Mortgage Classic, highlighting how course history analysis led to successful plays like Cam Davis, who had strong performances on easy courses. The hosts discuss other players from last week, including Cam Young's near-miss and value plays that missed cuts. They transition to the John Deere Classic at TPC Deere Run, describing it as an easy course with bent grass greens and wide fairways. The hosts recommend using course comparison models to identify players who excel on easy courses. A significant portion focuses on Jordan Spieth, analyzing his high price of $10,500 despite poor recent form, including 142nd in putting over the last 16 rounds. They discuss pricing structure, noting it's flat with Spieth as the top-priced player after withdrawals. Ownership projections are examined, with Sung Jae Im, Denny McCarthy, and Sepp Straka expected to be popular. The hosts review players in the $9K range, such as Keith Mitchell and JT Poston, and the $8K range, including Mark Hubbard and Luke Clanton. In the $7K range, they recommend Daniel Berger as a contrarian play and Neil Shipley as a value option. The $6K range is explored, with mentions of Patton Kizzire's resurgence and Dylan Frittelli's Euro Tour win. The episode concludes with encouragement for listeners to engage via email or Slack and a preview of next week's content.
