See Jack. See Jack win 18 majors. See Tiger. See Tiger chase Jack’s record. See Tiger run. Oops, Tiger can’t even walk right, much less run. See Jack build Muirfield. See Jack frustrate the world’s greatest golfers. See Jack smile. See Jack laugh.
We are at Muirfield Village for The Memorial, a course that Jack built that mimics a major without being one. This is an invite only 120 golfer field that challenges them as far as fierce competition and the course. If you can’t hit fairways on a consistent basis you won’t be around on Saturday. Accuracy, approach and the around the green game are crucial to success here. Also not testing positive for Covid on a Saturday evening while 6 strokes ahead helps as well.
Damn that Ram
Jon Rahm blew away the competition two years running but only won once. He caught Covid at The Memorial and threw a positive test on a Saturday with a commanding lead and was forced to withdraw allowing Cantlay to take the trophy at The Memorial. When he did win he was assessed a two stroke penalty when a 4K-HD camera barely caught a blade of grass moving his ball when he was in his practice stance. He still had strokes to spare and won easily, He also cost our own golf staff legend Joel the 200K first prize with the penalty and Joel had to settle for second place.
The Determination Elation.
It’s incredibly difficult to win on the PGA tour. Scheffler three putted 18 to win at The Masters. We just saw Mito break up with just one hole to go on the 18th at the PGA. Burns was an afterthought until he rolled in an off the green putt to beat Scottie in an improbable playoff win, which netted Sia an 85-1 hit on Burns! Harold Varner lll was tied for the lead until the double bogey or worse showed up, maybe it was the very strong winds, in the future if two fans in the gallery cough towards HV lll, I will be off him in an instant. The Memorial may offer up the same surprises…
I’d die for a “buckeye”
…as long as they have the “Buckeye” milkshake, the absolute favorite of the golfers and fans at Muirfield Village. The golfers actually complained when they had two tourneys back to back at Muirfield and would only serve it at The Memorial. Morikawa was depressed after he won The Memorial in that he hadn’t been offered the delicacy. It was sitting there all along, behind his winners trophy.
Winning versus Whining.
Whoever said winning isn’t everything hasn’t taken down a large DK GPP. Of course you can whine about the taxes you owe Uncle Sam while thanking your lucky stars that a golfer who never hits a shank just did to catapult your team into first place. There may be a tiny bit of luck involved, we try and take out the guesswork and the Leprechaun to bring you actionable data that wins you cold hard cash. One way we do this is with The Memorial Ownership projections which are built to offer you leverage and pivots to move you to the top of the Draftkings contests..
Lets take a look at this weeks Memorial Ownership projections to help you with your teambuilding and roster construction.

Be sure to check out Spencer’s and Stix’s Bettor Golf podcast on Anchor at Spotify. It only took them two weeks to rack up 74K for two of their subscribers. If you listen in it could be you cashing that 50K ticket this week in GPP or that 440-1 longshot named Chan Kim, he’s not a secret, I think he’s actually related to Stix, just like Webb Simpson is Spencer’s brother in law, or is that Jason Day? Just know that these two titans have the “family secrets” to get you to the pay window pronto with huge knockout payouts. Invest in a Q-tip and listen to their podcast. Collect your winnings. It’s really that easy.
The audience won last weeks DraftCast shootout even after Sia had pilfered a few picks from the audience. They were ready this week and had their picks and placements ready before Joel could say Go! Spencer’s incredible breakdown almost didn’t happen after the audience put him last in the snakedraft. He probably didn’t mind being way down at the end since pit vipers like to strike from a distance. Sia didn’t steal too much this week, he was probably on his best behavior after being on CBS Vegas and using lawyer speak to weigh in on the Dustin Johnson move to the LIV. The first time we see him with a kaffiyeh (turban) on the DraftCast you will know his checks are cashed in Dubai. The word is DJ got 100 million for his abandoning the PGA, Sia will easily command twice that. Double Down Dave assisted the audience with some sterling plays while dreaming of a Kiwi encrusted iguana pizza from yours truly, being from Texas means I can probably slip a horned frog in there in lieu of the crunchy lizard, although I wouldn’t hold that pizza for very long…..
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!
