Searching for a Specialist: RBC Canadian Open
Returning from Scotland this week, we’re taking a pit stop in Canada before returning to the States.
This week’s RBC Canadian Open will take place at Glen Abbey Golf Club, which has hosted 29 times in the past. That means we have plenty of data to see which angles are relevant when it comes to searching for a specialist this week.
Reviewing last week, our specialist couldn’t get much going but made the cut on the number and then rallied to finish in a share of second place. Yup, that was Justin Rose. A perfect example of how fine the lines are in golf. If he missed his birdie putt on the 18th on Friday then he looks like a complete dud last week. Instead, he helped win someone a million dollars.
This week we will look at performance on Bentgrass/Poa Greens, performance on Driver-Heavy Courses, performance on Easy Courses, performance on Par 72s, and finish up with performance on Hard-to-Hit Fairways.
Here we go …
Bentgrass/Poa Greens
The greens at Glen Abbey were poa annua before a rough winter damaged many of the greens back in 2013. They replaced them with bentgrass but they still have some poa annua in them.
Coming from the superintendent, he mentioned this on Tuesday, “…having your soil temperature get above that 10-12° mark in the winter time can be incredibly dangerous, especially with very delicate Poa annua like we have on some of our valley holes.”
It’s unclear whether those holes are entirely poa annua or they just have poa annua that grows due to the winter conditions. Either way, we can use our blend of bentgrass and poa annua performance to bring it all together.
The 10 Bent/Poa Specialists:
Stephan Jaeger (1.012 sg:bent/poa vs. 0.207 sg:total)
Tom Lovelady (1.113 sg:bent/poa vs. 0.552 sg:total)
Andres Romero (0.641 sg:bent/poa vs. 0.185 sg:total)
Ben Silverman (0.743 sg:bent/poa vs. 0.377 sg:total)
Sam Ryder (1.107 sg:bent/poa vs. 0.751 sg:total)
Bronson Burgoon (1.151 sg:bent/poa vs. 0.853 sg:total)
Joel Dahmen (1.182 sg:bent/poa vs. 0.888 sg:total)
J.J. Henry (0.61 sg:bent/poa vs. 0.322 sg:total)
Lanto Griffin (0.858 sg:bent/poa vs. 0.576 sg:total)
Brandon Harkins (1.525 sg:bent/poa vs. 1.249 sg:total)
Quantity: The golfers that have the most strokes gained on bentgrass or poa since 2014 are Dustin Johnson, Tony Finau, Matt Kuchar, Charley Hoffman, and Brooks Koepka.
#2 on the list, Tom Lovelady, said this just last week “Bent greens are what I grew up on, so putting especially, I can see the lines a little better. I believe we’ll be going to bent greens next week I would assume. Just keep doing what I’m doing.”
A few golfers lose more than half a stroke compared to their baseline (J.J. Spaun and Nicholas Lindheim). Might be worth fading that, if you’re on the fence.
Driver-Heavy Courses
Last week we saw Carnoustie look to set up as a less-than-driver course before the event but when golfers started playing their practice rounds, some saw it differently.
In the end, historical less-than-driver performance was slightly more correlated to the final leaderboard but overall it proved that both strategies worked.
This week we have a course where the driver is not really restricted.
Just ask Bubba Watson who said this last year, “I hit driver I think everywhere except the last hole, No. 9. Just trying to have short irons in here. The rough’s not too high, so it’s a little bit easier than British Open rough.”
The Top 10 Driver-Heavy Specialists:
Sung Kang (1.51 sg:driver-heavy vs. 0.754 sg:total)
Martin Laird (1.881 sg:driver-heavy vs. 1.331 sg:total)
Andrew Putnam (1.26 sg:driver-heavy vs. 0.732 sg:total)
Ollie Schniederjans (1.73 sg:driver-heavy vs. 1.228 sg:total)
Nick Watney (1.552 sg:driver-heavy vs. 1.069 sg:total)
Harris English (1.539 sg:driver-heavy vs. 1.102 sg:total)
Bubba Watson (2.312 sg:driver-heavy vs. 1.897 sg:total)
Vaughn Taylor (1.433 sg:driver-heavy vs. 1.036 sg:total)
Jimmy Walker (1.908 sg:driver-heavy vs. 1.512 sg:total)
Sam Saunders (1.04 sg:driver-heavy vs. 0.65 sg:total)
Quantity: Golfers with the most weighted strokes gained on driver-heavy courses since 2014 are Dustin Johnson, Matt Kuchar, Charley Hoffman, Tony Finau, and J.B. Holmes.
The top-10 list above is about what you’d expect to see on a driver course except for Vaughn Taylor. He is a surprising name that doesn’t bring any distance to the table.
Tommy Fleetwood finds himself near the bottom of this column which is also very surprising. Perhaps it’s just a coincidence/noise based on his lower level of sample size. Or maybe he really does prefer courses that are more restrictive of the driver but he would still use it to gain an edge if that makes sense.
Easy Courses
This course always yields a field average that is on the easy side of par.
Two years ago was about as hard as it plays but that was due to (rare) firm and fast conditions. Things are looking rather soft this week which should mean plenty of birdies and eagles will be flying off the shelves.
The Top 10 Easy Course Specialists:
J.B. Holmes (2.067 sg:easy vs. 1.538 sg:total)
Ryan Blaum (1.267 sg:easy vs. 0.752 sg:total)
Steve Wheatcroft (0.768 sg:easy vs. 0.307 sg:total)
Martin Piller (0.274 sg:easy vs. -0.111 sg:total)
Cameron Tringale (0.944 sg:easy vs. 0.57 sg:total)
Robert Garrigus (1.026 sg:easy vs. 0.667 sg:total)
Byeong Hun An (1.827 sg:easy vs. 1.468 sg:total)
Johnson Wagner (1.075 sg:easy vs. 0.722 sg:total)
Roger Sloan (-0.777 sg:easy vs. -1.113 sg:total)
Andres Romero (0.519 sg:easy vs. 0.185 sg:total)
Quantity: Most weighted strokes gained on easy courses since 2014 are Keegan Bradley, Hudson Swafford, Dustin Johnson, Kevin Kisner, and Adam Hadwin.
You probably noticed that quantity list is quite different from the other ones. Most superstars only see easy courses a few times a year.
It’s not surprising to see someone like Brooks Koepka near the bottom of this column (when comparing to his baseline). He does so much damage in the majors, on tough courses, that it’s a tough standard to live up to.
Par 72 Courses
Heading to a par 72 this week, we have a four-pack of par 5s to score on.
Glen Abbey’s par 5s are some of the easiest on TOUR, so that should yield plenty of eagles.
The Top 10 Par 72 Specialists:
Tom Lovelady (1.687 sg:par72 vs. 0.552 sg:total)
Martin Piller (0.623 sg:par72 vs. -0.111 sg:total)
Xinjun Zhang (0.934 sg:par72 vs. 0.243 sg:total)
Ryan Palmer (1.68 sg:par72 vs. 1.245 sg:total)
Andrew Putnam (1.164 sg:par72 vs. 0.732 sg:total)
Byeong Hun An (1.801 sg:par72 vs. 1.468 sg:total)
Nick Taylor (0.96 sg:par72 vs. 0.679 sg:total)
Ben Crane (0.917 sg:par72 vs. 0.643 sg:total)
Brooks Koepka (2.471 sg:par72 vs. 2.207 sg:total)
D.A. Points (-0.007 sg:par72 vs. -0.245 sg:total)
Quantity: Most weighted strokes gained on links since 2014 are Dustin Johnson, Tony Finau, Matt Kuchar, Keegan Bradley, and Charley Hoffman.
Tom Lovelady shows up as #1 here while he was #1 on the bent/poa list. We might have him perfectly cornered into a great course fit.
Hard-to-Hit Fairways
This angle goes a bit hand-in-hand with the driver-heavy angle.
When a course allows a lot of drivers to be hit, it’s only natural that fewer fairways will be found.
The Top 10 Hard Fairway Specialists:
Bubba Watson (2.565 sg:hard fairways vs. 1.897 sg:total)
Ben Silverman (0.892 sg:hard fairways vs. 0.377 sg:total)
Stephan Jaeger (0.718 sg:hard fairways vs. 0.207 sg:total)
Talor Gooch (1.096 sg:hard fairways vs. 0.635 sg:total)
Ryan Armour (1.392 sg:hard fairways vs. 0.954 sg:total)
Matt Kuchar (2.561 sg:hard fairways vs. 2.139 sg:total)
Vaughn Taylor (1.455 sg:hard fairways vs. 1.036 sg:total)
Ollie Schniederjans (1.601 sg:hard fairways vs. 1.228 sg:total)
James Hahn (1.437 sg:hard fairways vs. 1.067 sg:total)
Tom Hoge (1.022 sg:hard fairways vs. 0.658 sg:total)
Quantity: Most weighted strokes gained on hard-to-hit fairways since 2014 are Matt Kuchar, Dustin Johnson, Tony Finau, Charley Hoffman, and Gary Woodland.
Looking at the top 14 in the hard fairway column, only one of them is negative in the driver-heavy course.
There is a good blend of golfers that love to bomb-and-gouge with others that stripe a ton of fairways. It sort of rules out golfers that are short AND wild, though.
Baseline Performance
We now have a list of six golfers that are positive in all of the angles above.
However, we can rule five of them out due to their baseline performance and/or current form:
Harris English
Jhonattan Vegas
Sung Kang
Ben Crane
Cameron Tringale
Vegas clearly loves this layout (B2B champ here) but his form is pretty awful again.
Kang could pop here but he’s done nothing outside of his big finish when he was accused of cheating.
Ben Crane has a top 10 here but may struggle to hang on a softer setup.
The Specialist
J.B. Holmes
The specialist this week is J.B. Holmes!
For the second straight week we have just one specialist that fits every angle and also arrives in decent form.
This big hitter has a pair of top 20s in three tries at Glen Abbey and also has a pair of podium finishes in two of his last four lead-in starts.
Holmes brings upside in the form, history, and course-fit departments.
Anti-Specialists
We’ve identified the golfers that grade out positive in all of the course-fit angles, but who does the opposite?
Alex Cejka
Blayne Barber
I don’t think either will be popular this week. It’s easy to fade them both. Especially Cejka with his plethora of pre-tournament WDs. He’s always an injury concern.
Super Simple Specialist Ratings
The goal of this article is to isolate course fit, to see who should outperform their baseline.
However, anyone with common sense knows that baseline talent (and current form) can’t be ignored when handicapping golf.
Combining Baseline Strokes Gained with Current Form and Specialist Rating, we get a Top 20 ranking that looks like this:
J.B. Holmes
Tony Finau
Bubba Watson
Charley Hoffman
Joaquin Niemann
Gary Woodland
Dustin Johnson
Brooks Koepka
Stewart Cink
Keegan Bradley
Brandt Snedeker
Byeong Hun An
Matt Kuchar
Seamus Power
Brandon Harkins
Steve Stricker
Chris Kirk
Bill Haas
Billy Horschel
Vaughn Taylor
The top of this list is loaded with heavy hitters which isn’t surprising when you consider the course attributes we just looked at. The only surprising thing is DJ at 7 instead of 1. Not something I would put too much stock into because this doesn’t use a scale that properly reflects have far ahead DJ is in terms of baseline performance. Maybe something I’ll consider changing in the future.
If the course ends up playing firmer than expected than guys like Kuchar, Stricker, Haas, Taylor might jump into the mix, but otherwise I think they have a tall task ahead of them.
Best of luck everyone!
Below is a table with the full specialist data. Any fields with a 0 in them mean the sample size is not large enough. There is a minimum of 30 rounds to qualify for each angle.
The SG:TOTAL column is a baseline performance measure (since 2014). It is time-weighted so more recent results count for more than finishes from years ago.
HISTORY column is a weighted performance metric based on course history. I’ve made small adjustments for sample sizes but be sure to check on number of course rounds before blindly following this number.
FORM looks at the total strokes gained, adjusted to field strength, over the last 8 weeks (PGA TOUR and European Tour).
SIMPLE RATING looks at SGTotal, FORM, and SPECIALIST RATING to create a simple rating that includes course fit but doesn’t overweight it.
