Eight of the last eleven Valero champions had to win to gain entry into the Masters. Those eight didn’t need to “sharpen” their game for their coveted Augusta invite. They didn’t need to practice certain shots that are required at Augusta. It was win or nothing at all. When almost 75% over the last decade (plus) were must win to get in, it adds credence to the factor that the “haves” may be their to practice while the “have nots” must go for the throat. At Win Daily Sports our golf experts go for the throat every single day. The Valero Ownership Projections are designed to assist you in finding top talent, that contest busting golfer and the outright and FRL along with the top 10, 20, and 40.
Win Daily Sports’ golf team works tirelessly to bring you the best intel. The Valero Open Ownership Projections allow you to pivot to lower owned players, find those hidden leverage gems and drive your teams to the top of multiple formats.
Courses and Horses
This course has tough par 4s and 5s in relation to scoring. The fairways are tiny and the rough isn’t that menacing. If you get into the hill country scrub you are in major trouble. Whether you have to pitch out from a cactus or scrub mesquite you are very likely looking at double bogey. Kevin Na once shot a 16. On ONE hole. It was right after meeting the hill country terrain. I play the Oaks course after the Korn Ferry tour ends and I got caught in it. 16 would have been a mercy killing. We go down every year to spot future KF talent and take advantage of their superb water park and amenities.
The players who must win to play The Masters with their rankings are as follows: CBEZ (58) Alex Noren (66) Brendan Todd (68) Andrew Putnam (70) and Robert Macintyre (79). Also the English contingent of Aaron Rai, Harry Hall and David Skinns as well as Billy Horschel (87). They are rounded out by Padraig Harrington, Luke Donald, Matt Kuchar, Kevin Kisner, Webb Simpson and Stewart Cink. Steven Jaeger is in after winning Houston and B An just made it inside the top 50. Tom Hoge, Mackenzie Hughes and Thomas Detry passed playing this week and won’t be eligible. There are others who are above the top 250 who aren’t ranked here.

***** Parting Shots *****
A husband and wife are talking when he gives her a challenge. He says, “tell me something that will make me insanely happy and incredibly sad at the same time.” She thinks for a moment and then tells him, “Your penis is much bigger than your brothers.”
As always, I hope to be with you on Sunday afternoon, in the money. You can also come and hang out in the Win Daily Sports Discord Chat to talk it out with everyone before the lock!
