Event Preview
It’s hard to believe that the year’s third major is already upon us. Even though the PGA Tour season is technically year round, it seems to go by so fast once we leave Augusta National. The majors are everyone’s favorite, from the golfers themselves to those of us that play fantasy golf. They bring the best talent in the world to compete for the most coveted trophies and consequently, we get the biggest prize pools in DFS. Much like actual golfers, DFS players are trying to find their form right in time for the next major. This year marks the 146th edition of the Open Championship. It will be held at Royal Birkdale, which is located just north of Liverpool. The venue has already hosted the Open nine times and is always one of the favorites for golfers and viewers. The last time the venue hosted this championship was in 2008, when Padraig Harrington outlasted the field in one of the most difficult championships ever played. He won with a score of three over par. The next closest score was Ian Poulter, who shot seven over par for the week.
As for the course itself, Royal Birkdale is a Par 70 links course that measures 7,156 yards. It is a tough test of golf that is meant to challenge every aspect of the game. The course is known for its tight fairways that are much flatter than you will see on most links courses. Rather than playing through the dunes, golfers will play between the dunes, which leads to fewer blind shots. Don’t let the flat fairways fool you though, this can be an extremely difficult golf course. Accuracy off the tee is at a premium this week. Not only is the rough penal, but there are sand dunes and fairway bunkers that are basically hazards. If you aren’t hitting fairways, you may find yourself chipping out or laying up in hopes to give yourself a shot at making par with a good approach. While you certainly need to find the fairways, most people describe this as more of a second shot golf course, so approaches will be critical. There are only two par fives on the course and both are located on the back nine, which should create a fun finish on Sunday.
As for the type of golfer that we are looking for, a strong links record and a strong Open record is important. Most of the golfers in the field have yet to play this course in a major championship setting, but looking at past Open Championship results is still beneficial. While we prefer accuracy off the tee, many golfers will choose to club down off the tee on a number of holes, so don’t automatically rule out the bombers. A strong approach game is critical here and I always like to look at par four scoring when we are dealing with a Par 70 golf course. I will also be looking at golfers that can avoid the big number (bogey avoidance), as par is often a very good score. And finally, golfers that can scramble will be at a major advantage this week, especially if the wind picks up. I prefer to look at strokes gained around the green, but scrambling is a good statistic to look at as well.
I’ve already mentioned the weather a few times and now I’m going to spend a whole paragraph talking about it. When we talk about links golf, we automatically know that weather is going to play a pivotal role in deciding the winning score and in deciding which wave of golfers will have an advantage. It’s basically useless to look at weather early in the week, but make sure to study the wind and rain in the hours leading up to lineup lock. Golfers do not go off on split tees this week, which will create an even bigger time difference than we are used to seeing in the AM/PM waves. Odds are, there will be one wave that has a big edge over the other, even if we don’t know which way it will go on Wednesday. In past editions of the Open at Royal Birkdale, we’ve seen the winning score range from eight under to three over par, which goes to show how big of an impact the weather can and will make.
Before we take a look at get to the salaries and Open Championship history, I wanted to note a few trends that I found interesting. The Open Championship tends to favor experience and that’s clearly evident when we look at the past winners. Eight of the last ten winners have been at least 35 years of age and four of the last six have been at least 40 years of age. Of the four major championships, the average age of the winner at the Open is significantly higher than the other three. Experience in terms of age is important, as is experience at the Open. Of the last five winners, all five had a finish of sixth place or better in a previous Open Championship. I am going to put a little less stock into this one, but since 2010, every winner has played in an event the week before the Open. And finally, it’s worth noting that five of the last seven winners at the Open had already won an event earlier in that season.
Cut Rule:Top 70 and ties will move on after the first two rounds. There is no MDF rule in effect this week.
