What's up, guys, Rick here with your preview for this week's Travelers Championship.

We had an unbelievable instant classic last week, but there is no rest for the weary because

we are going straight to another signature event.

We're going to break it down with data, with information, with numbers, maybe a little bit

of trend action.

We're going to run some models and we're going to see what happens. So let's just jump right on into this. This is my website,

Rickrungood.com. Everything you see will be from my website. I think it's great and I think that you

will too. TPC River Highlands. So we are headed to Cromwell, Connecticut, and this is a golf course that's fairly

unique on the PGA tour, right? It's a, it's a Pete Dye course. So you know that there is going to be

visual attacks as well as physical attacks on you. And there's going to be a little bit of

mental warfare along the way. But by all accounts, this is one of the shorter golf courses

on the PGA tour schedule, playing

to about 6,800 yards as a par 70.

And if you look at the regression model over the course of the past 12 years or so, which is

where I run this data from, it does reward precision more than it rewards power or distance.

And obviously because the short yardage does not box anybody out of this golf tournament.

So what you'll see here is that driving accuracy is ranked 12th. That means there are only

11 other courses in which driving accuracy is more important. Not only that, but look at some of

the highest correlated secondary stats, distance from edge of fairway, right rough tendency.

That is golfers who are not only playing out of the short grass, but when they're missing, they are missing in a small way. Driving distance

is ranked 41st. Forty-first, that's not very highly correlated at all. In fact, it's really not.

And then you look at the rest of the stats here. And most of them are middle of the road,
