Golf picks this week

Question

Weird week for picks.  Only one for PGA.Kevin Streelman ov Bubba Watson&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Bubba hasn&#x2019;t played in two months, he really wasn&#x2019;t good last season.  He also hasn&#x2019;t played this tournament in 9 years.  I don&#x2019;t think this course sets up very good for him as this course requires you to hit the fairway, and he was 112th in driving accuracy in 2017.  161st in greens in regulation&#x2026;those are really important stats at this tournament.  Kevin Streelman, meanwhile, has played twice in the reach around, and has a 13th, and a 10th, so I like that he&#x2019;s in a groove.  I know it&#x2019;s early, but he ranks 3rd in greens in regulation so far in 2018, and this isn&#x2019;t a fluke for Streelman.  30th in driving accuracy and 64th in greens in regulation last year.  Streelman has played in this tournament 7 times, has never missed the cut, has a 2nd place finish, and 4 top 16 finishes here.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;European Tour pick&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Eddie Pepperel ov Thorbjorn Olesen&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Oleson won this tournament last year, and that&#x2019;s why we&#x2019;re getting this matchup.  Everyone is going to see that win, but they&#x2019;re going to ignore his previous finishes here.  41st, 71st, and 29th.  But looking at recent performance, Pepperell is absolutely on fire.  Five top 10 finishes in his last 6 tournaments, and three of those were top 5 finishes.  Olesen doesn&#x2019;t have a top 30 finish in his last 4 tournaments, and in the last 4 tournaments they&#x2019;ve played in together, Pepperell has finished ahead of Olesen.  Don&#x2019;t let Olesen&#x2019;s win last year scare you&#x2026;Pepperell is the better golfer right now.

sacker17 · Answer

RatTough beat on Kim. And right about the Pepperell beat. Oleson birds 15,16&amp;17 and then sinks 12&#x2019; par putt on 18to edge Pepperell who led the entire week. And the Bubba beat of Streelman tough too as Bubba looked like a sure MC but birds 18 for an outside chance and then cutline moves from E to &#x2B;1 as afternoon wave struggled in wind. Streelman was in the house at E and Bubba at &#x2B;1. Looked like a winner. Then of course Streelman blows up round 3 and loses the Bubba bet. And I lost my Stenson v Rose bet. Stenson was uncharacteristically bad on a course he had great history and off a sharp week in China last week. Can&#x2019;t figure that but Rose was good so just as well lose like that than like the Oleson beat Lousy golf betting week

LeRinkRat · Answer

Tough beat on KimI could have just strangled the little sh!t when he left that potential tourney winning putt SHORT on #18. that seems to be a problem with Asian golfers. a "short putz"
