Ridgewood CC

The FedEx Cup Playoffs are here! First up, The Barclays!! Event number one of four is being held in Paramus, NJ at the vintage Ridgewood Country Club. Founded in 1890, the 7,300 yard Par 71 track is one of the oldest country clubs in America. Par 4 performance is a strong stat this week. Putting and scrambling will be the number one factor. Who's short game will prevail?

I am cranking up the futures this week as I see value in many will have them by tomorrow.Email or pm We are going in hard on the next three if they give us the odds.

Cantor Gaming tourney matchups

McIlroy -185 vs Rose +165
Furyk -110 vs Stenson -110
Scott -135 vs Garcia +115
J Spieth -115 vs K Bradley -105
B Watson -120 vs W Simpson even
Mahan -125 vs Leishman +105
DeLaet -110 vs Matsuyama -110

I have given up on tourneys where these cowardly Las Vegas sportsbooks do NOT offer OVER-UNDER or Top 10 / Top 20 props

Furyk -110 vs Stenson -110

like "The Hawk" and am tempted to bet him @ 25-1 to win the tourney BUT would much prefer a Top 10 or Top 20 IF it was available here with the Las Vegas sportsbooks. STILL smarting from that "bad beat" in Canada

btw, Canadian Open winner Tim Clark is a field bet @ Cantor Gaming this week @ 3-1

 I am curious as to why you feel the course does not set up well for Rory?In the past he has been predominately a right to left player but has shown recently that he can play the cut now successfully, his short game has been flawless of late.He is one of the best iron players on tour by proximity to hole so I'm not to sure I follow your fade for those reasons. History proves that it is very hard to repeat as we all know and have seen, never mind 4 in a row.I did not include him in my futures play this week as 4/1 now 3/1 is not enough value for me given the possibility of a let down and the difficulty of a 4 in a row.

Have talked to some RW members lately and they have told me the rough is crazy along. I think driving accuracy and par 4 performance are most important stats this week. 

Maybe I should rephrase that to...This week doesn't set up well for McIlroy.

I agree with that if he smokes the field again this week I guess we will know for sure. To stay in the zone so to speak is unusual for this long.
