And we have a co-ownerships matrix that shows who the highest owned pairs of golfers were in this week’s $8 Best Ball:
Wow! Last one of the season boys. Lots of high ownership numbers to go around, it was really hard to get unique this week, but let’s see who got grabbed up the most, and why!
Justin Rose (36% GPP, 62% Cash) – Far and away a guy who most people expected to be the best value play, he’s been playing well, has remarkable course history, and a discounted price compared to some of the elite guys. All the makings! We do see that there was some correction by the field as he does NOT come out as the highest owned golfer in GPP, just because his ownership was expected to be so massive. All in all I’m a little surprised he isn’t even higher owned in cash.
Matt Kuchar (37% GPP, 57% Cash) – Mr. Kuchar sneaks in with the mark of being the highest owned in GPP, but just barely. A guy who’s hard to stay away from in these elite-field events, he seems to routinely step up to the occasion without perhaps breaking through, but somehow always gets slotted behind all of the big-hitters when it comes to salaries. Makes him an ideal play in any format – the most consistent thing going in golf.
Jordan Spieth (36% GPP, 44% Cash) – Mr. Spieth is always an interesting case-study. Honestly it’s a pretty similar deal week-in, week-out at this point now that he’s hit his stride (again). He has a little more cash game ownership than normal here because the salary scale is a little compacted with just a 30-man field. Also, it’s hard to get a really BAD play out of the best 30 golfers this year on TOUR, and with no cut, people are a lot more likely to pay up and play stars-and-scrubs since the scrubs are still pretty darn good.
Jhonattan Vegas (4.7% GPP, 1.5% Cash) – Speaking of scrubs, Jhonny Vegas is the closest thing we’ve got this week. I find it interesting to look at the bottom-end like this – typically in a field it will be somebody who has withdrawn, or is just abysmal and surviving on a long-held exemption, and not particularly interesting. He had a good showing in the first playoff event, but that is long forgotten in DFS’ers minds. He really skated through to this point with poor finishes the last two weeks. He also didn’t do well here last year when he qualified. All in all though – that’s a golfer with a lot of upside for being lowest-owned.
Good luck this week everyone! Enjoy the “off-season”, don’t blow all your bankrolls on NFL in the meantime, and see you guys in October for the wraparound and some really fascinating fields full of fresh faces.
