Valspar Championship

We can push “un-pause” on our Florida swing after a dramatic Mexican detour last week! We return to the Tampa Bay area for the Valspar! This setup features a similar distance and par to last week, but without elevation and with more protected fairways, it changes the dynamic a little bit from last week! Let’s take a closer look!

Copperhead at Innisbrook:

Par: 71
Length: 7340
Scoring average per round: +0.5
Chances of bogey free round (field): 2.8%
Best opportunities for 3-birdie streak (field): none!
Best chances for eagle: #1 or #14 but neither very good
Projected Cut: +1
Key Holes: #16 / none really, very bland course
