PGA Weekly Course Analysis: Safeway Open

Each week, Sean O’Donnell will break down the course in detail to figure out which golfers will be in the best position to succeed.

Safeway Open

Hey! I hope everyone enjoyed their zero-week-break! Golf doesn’t really have an “offseason” there’s just the “obscured by football” season from November-Masters! Or the “wraparound season” or the “West Coast Swing” or … we can leave it at that. In any case, it’s a time for guys to prove their metal, cut their teeth, or get a shot at redemption! After getting pounded over the head with nearly-identical top-halves of the field for like the last 2 months of the season it felt like, we finally get to delve back into the abyss of the “below average Tour Pro” !! Let’s take a look!

Silverado CC:

Par: 72
Length: 7203
Scoring average per round: -0.44
Chances of bogey free round (field): 3.5%
