0:00.0 | What's up, guys, Rick here with your DFS preview for this week's Windham Championship, |
0:04.0 | the final event of the PGA Tour regular season. |
0:07.6 | So be prepared to hear every shot counts. |
0:11.1 | That's right. |
0:12.4 | A three-footer in April is worth the same amount as a 300-footer in August. |
0:23.3 | Get ready to hear that this week. We've got a lot of storylines, but we are going to cover through the golf course, the field, the trends, |
0:29.5 | all that stuff with data to see what we can find and the best way to approach the golf course |
0:35.3 | and approach the way to maybe get a little action down on this |
0:39.5 | event. And then, of course, next week, we're going to enter the playoffs and the fields are going |
0:44.1 | to be stacked. We're going to be playing, you know, 70 down to 50 down to 30, et cetera, et cetera, |
0:47.9 | et cetera, et cetera. So let's not waste any more time. Let's jump into it. Let's go. Sedgfield Country Club. Yes, a lot of data on Sedgfield. |

1:07.4 | regression model, which stats are more highly correlated to success, you will see |
1:12.1 | really one thing that stands out that is driving accuracy. The point being, that's not the only |
1:19.6 | way to get it done, but accurate drivers of the golf ball have had a higher correlation to success at this golf course than all but seven golf courses |
1:31.9 | on the PGA tour schedule. |
1:33.2 | Okay. |
1:33.9 | So, only seven other courses in which driving accuracy has been more important. |
1:37.9 | You'll see things like strokes gained approach, actually below average. |
1:41.5 | Driving distance, nearly, actually, it is dead last. |
1:45.6 | Around the green, below average driving distance nearly actually it is dead last around the green below average um it is it is a pretty unique looking regression model if you then go from the really strong stats |
