0:00.0 | What's up, guys, Rick here with another episode of Strategy Saturday, where I try to take a larger topic, not just what's going to happen this week or tomorrow or whatever and try to dive a little bit deeper |
0:21.6 | into it for the betterment of everyone. |
0:24.8 | And this episode is really in regards to not all scores and not all golfers being created |
0:31.8 | equal. |
0:32.7 | This is a concept that a few years ago, I would have called most valuable golfer, but I'll dive into what |

1:36.6 | to win the golf tournament or finish second. |
1:38.8 | And we rarely talk in terms of fantasy points in golf, which is the only sport that's like this. |
1:45.9 | And there are just countless examples of guys who outperform their finishing position |
