Welcome to The Open Final Ownership projections, I am very fond of the tourney across the pond, as far as viewing good golf, it doesn’t get much better except for The Masters. Instead of Magnolias they have rough, and I mean rough rough, hitting fairways will be very important this week, and the weather always has an effect on the tourney, right now for Thursday winds should be constant at 16 MPH with gusts to 29 MPH. Please check in Discord up until lock for the latest on the weather situation.
Lock for this tourney is MIDNIGHT TONIGHT EST, it has changed several times since last week, if you have noticed DK has changed its lock times on almost every contest these last two days and has been sending out emails, in some circles it says 1:35 EST, based on what we’ve witnessed, the earlier time is the safest for now, all bold souls are welcome to wait until the last second and see if the 1:35 EST time holds up.
All three of our programs agreed that accuracy played a more important role here than in other Open venues. It could be that any wayward shot off the fairway or into the deep bunkers probably means a bogie. As far as accuracy, you may want to bump the numbers on Morikawa, Fitzpatrick, Ancer and Conners while Spieth, Dechambeau, Finau and Zalatoris would be docked for their metrics, a mini stack with the above positive group may help move up the board, remember that there are better golfers playing, and this projection is for large field GPPs only.
Jon Rahm is the cream of the crop and is playing the best golf of his career, Xander is an acceptable pivot over the super chalky (deservedly so) Jordan Spieth. Both Patrick’s, Reed and Cantlay represent good value. Morikawa is a top ten candidate regardless of links history or lack of it.
We have identified four mispriced golfers that offer value based on lower than expected salaries, anywhere from 1000 to 1400 lower than their base value salary range. They are Berger, English, Burns and Fitzpatrick. Burns is 37th in my model and is being priced in the betting markets at 55th or worse, there are close to 120 golfers priced higher than Burns which makes no sense, at the same time, he is a cut risk, so tread carefully with him.
For my optimals I am setting my ownership ceiling at 70% for the Milly Makers, I strongly advise to not go over 90 or 100% in the Milly’s, you will just be handing your entry fee to the winners, and it’s ok to pick one or even two chalky players, just remember you must get different further down your roster and also, this is in reference to the big 10.00 and 100.00 Millionaire Maker contests.
Please know that we are coming in much earlier with our projections to give you time to adjust or make your rosters. Expect the chalkiest golfers to be 1/2 to 1% higher than listed, and feel confident that these numbers are the best in the industry.
