Cadence Bank Houston Open
Welcome back to the PGA DFS GPP breakdown! We have a yet another new title sponsor for the Houston Open this year, as they try out yet a bank as opposed to a technology company in 2022. However, we do not have a new venue for the tournament.
Memorial Park Golf Course will host for the third time, and the course is a municipal layout that still represents a unique challenge for these PGA Tour pros. While it plays as a par 72 layout for members, it operates as a par 70 for the PGA Tour with three par 5’s, five par 3’s, and ten par 4’s. As such, par three scoring takes on a little more importance. The par fours are a mix of longer holes combined with two that could be set up to be driveable at least once. Long iron play takes on added importance with three of the par fours sitting at 490+ yards and three of the par threes sitting at 200+ yards on the scorecard. That makes for six holes where a long iron shot will be needed for most of the golfers. Outside of that, I’ll be looking at current form and ball striking. We saw that the fairways and greens were tough to hit here a year ago, so that adds importance to the elite ball strikers. This is not a course where you can simply hit it anywhere you want off the tee and be able to get away with it.
