Shriners Open Final Ownership Projections
They say football is a game of inches, sometimes golf is as well. Last week there were 3 golfers left on the 18th green on Friday afternoon at The Sanderson Farms tourney, the cut line had moved to -2 a few hours earlier, and the pundits thought it would hit -3 by days end, little did they know how prophetic they would be. Sungjae IM had a 9 foot putt for birdie to end his round, he may not have known that he alone controlled the fate of many golfers in the field. A birdie putt would move the entire field to -3, where a par putt would keep the number at -2. Ten other golfers at -2 held their breath as the putt skirted the hole and rolled in. The cut line is now -3. Here is your Shriners Open Final Ownership Projections.
I had 5 golfers at -2 and would have pushed 9 teams across at 6/6 only if, Sia, whose been picking the Secret Weapon for months now, had his pick at -2 as well. For the first time in months, not weeks or days, but months, his pick didn’t make the weekend. Guys you can’t imagine how difficult it is to find a 6 K salary range golfer, under 5% ownership,( to add more difficulty), and have that player not only make the cut, but bring tremendous value to your 6 man team. Sia could just as easily pick a 6K golfer that nobody owns and have him be at +13 after Friday, but that has never happened…..ever. He missed going 19-0 by an inch last week, that should tell you how good he is. I spent two days last week on the 6 K range golfers, my out in left field pick Wesley Bryan Finished tied for 12th, my favorite pick, Carlos Ortiz, missed out. I talk about the formula for winning the Draft Kings Milly Maker, with Sia’s Secret Weapon play you are 17% closer to that goal when it hits.
We all work extremely hard to get you the information to get you in that top 1% of the field, GPP is so volatile and contrary, yet the rewards are life changing. Just ask Joel, one of our genius writers, he’s won three 50,000 tourneys in the last month or so, he just moved into a beautiful new place, and after hearing about the president spending 70,000 on hair cuts, he decided to get a new doo as well. Uhh, Joel I think you should get 69,990 in change.
Speaking of change, let’s change your life/luck and get down to the ownership projections for The Shriners Longer Than Necessary Title Open, AKA The Shriners Hospital for Children Open.
The leader for ownership by a few protein shakes is Bryson DeChambeau, currently at 26.2%+ (+ is rising ). I will still roster him until he goes over 30%.
Webb Simpson is currently 2nd at 23.7%, Patrick “Sharps” Scott’s adopted son,Collin Morikawa, who is currently seeking info on restraining orders, is third at 20.2%. Patrick Cantlay is close behind at 20.1%, Matt Wolff comes in at 19.6%, Hideki Matsuyama is 19.2%. Scottie Scheffler settles in at 17.1%, Harris English is 16.5%, ( I like him up to 18% ownership) Joaquin Niemann is a bit lower at 13.3%, Doc Redman is 13.1%, Rickie Fowler is 12.5% ( Vegas likes him), Sungjae IM, the cut master, and Louis Oosthuizen are 12.3% owned, Denny McCarthy is 11.4%, Kristoffer Ventura and Harold Varner lll are 10.8% owned, Cameron Davis, who I like, is 10.3% owned.
Russell Henley and RyannPalmer are 9.9%, Paul Casey is 9.5%, Si Woo Kim is 9.3%, Brian Harman is 9.1%, Lanto Griffin is next at 8.2%, Brendan Steele is 8.1%, and Sam Burns comes in at 8% ownership. Jason Day is 7.8%, Abraham Ancer,( who is one of Sia’s favorites, and I like his upside) is a very reasonable 7.4% Jason Kokrak and Will Zalatoris are at 6.8 %. Last week my big fade of the week was Zalatoris, he told his caddy he was mentally and physically exhausted, he was 10.2K in salary and didn’t make the cut for the weekend. Sebastian Munoz is 6.6%, Charlie Hoffman is 6.5%, Luke List and Joel Dahmen share 6.3% ownership, Kevin Na, Cameron Smith, Henrik Norlander and Matt Kuchar are all at 6%, JT Poston is 5.9%, Zach Johnson and last weeks champion, Sergio Garcia are 5.7%, Kevin Streelman, Adam Hadwin and Chez Reavie are 5.5% owned.
The following golfers are under 5% owned:
Cameron Champ is 4.9%, Aaron Wise is 4.8%, Stewart Cink and Maverick McNealy are 4.7%, Adam Schenk is 4.5%, Cameron Tringale, Emiliano Grillo, and Justin Suh are 4.4%, Pat Perez is 4.3%, Patrick Rodgers is 3.9%, Brandt Snedeker is 3.8%, Talor Gooch is 3.6%, Tyler McCumber is 3.5%, Scott Stallings and Sepp Straka are 3.2%, Scott Piercy and B. An are 3%,Will Gordon and Matthew NeSmith are 2.8%, Chesson Hadley and Keegan Bradley are 2.5%, X. Zhang is 2.4%, Harry Higgs, Martin Laird, Kyle Stanley, and Max Homa are 2.2% owned.
The following golfers are under 2% owned:
Russel Knox and Beau Hossler are 1.9% owned, James Hahn is 1.8%, Carlos Ortiz, Charles Howell lll, Tom Lewis, Francesco Molinari and Dylan Frittelli, Rafa Cabrera Bello, Sam Ryder and J.B. Holmes are 1.7% owned, Scott Harrington and Kevin Chappell are 1.5%, C.T. Pan, Brian Stuard, Sean O Hair, Nick Watney, Camilo Vellegas, Mark Hubbard and Nick Taylor are 1.2% owned. Patton Kizzire is 1.1% owned. All other golfers at the time of this report are less than 1% owned.
My Picks:
Bryson DeChambeau is the pick of the upper tier. He is expensive (11,800) but has a 60% chance to be in the optimal lineup, which is sky high. Webb Simpson at 800 cheaper is like an older toy, very comfortable, but you prefer the big new shiny Bryson, when you push a button he grows 3 feet and wins golf tournaments.
Denny McCarthy can putt, plain and simple, and that means scoring, at 7700 salary he is both value and salary relief if you go for those above.
In the lower tier I like Ryan Palmer (7400), he’s a bit risky, but he can put up a 62 just as easy as a 72, and I like his chances this week.
My out in left field play this week is Maverick McNealy (6900), he is low owned, he is from Vegas, I believe some home cooking and course familiarity are keys to not only him making the cut, possibly to contend as well.
Thank you for checking out Shriners Open Final Ownership Projections. I will be in the Discord Channel after the report is up, along with the other pros to answer any questions, help with roster construction, player vs player analysis and salary execution, and don’t forget, Sia’s Secret Weapon will be released (unleashed) on the Discord channel either right before or right after his NFL football live stream. Please remember to check out the articles from The Win Daily Sports team writers, Sia and I, Antonio, Isaiah, and Patrick.
As always, I hope to be with you, in the money.
