Barracuda Championship Modified Stableford Scoring
Double Eagle: 8 points
Eagle: 5 points
Birdie: 2 points
Par: 0 points
Bogey: -1 point
Double Bogey or more: -3 points
Stableford scoring rewards risk-taking on the golf course because a birdie is twice as rewarding (2 points) as a bogey is punitive (-1). Eagles offer huge payoffs (5 points) and the worst a player could possibly do would be a double bogey (-3 points) at which point he could pick up his ball and carry on to the next hole. Those golfers who make a few bogeys but also make a lot of birdies or eagles are more likely to be atop the leaderboards
of the players listed in this years tourney, Alex Cejka @ 65-1 has the best birdie % @ 21st on the tour. Gary Woodland @ 15-1 scored a record 44 points to win last year's Barracuda Championship. he is co-favorite this year with Brendan Steele and "hot" newcomer Jon Rahm
I played Jon Rahm even over Colt Knost and -105 over Robert Garrigus along with Alex Cejka -115 over Shawn Stefain and Gary Wooland +105 over Brendan Steele in tourney match play. also chanced small "to win" futures on Alex Cejka @ 65-1, Jhonathan Vegas @ 80-1, Camilo Villegas @ 100-1 and Jason Gore @ 100-1
