Searching for a Specialist: Wells Fargo Championship

rotogrinders_user_22704

Welcome back to a stateside Specialist Search.

If you missed last week, our top specialist Alexander Levy went on to win in China, so let’s try to carry that momentum back to the PGA TOUR.

We have a new course this week, but there are still a few relevant angles we can look at: Performance on Par 72 Courses, Performance in the Wind, Performance on Bentgrass Greens, and Performance on Long Courses.

Let’s go …

Par 72 Courses

With four par 5s on this week’s course, we quickly see a specific set of golfers rise to the top of course fit.

Golfers that thrive on par 5s can benefit, but golfers that are just average in par-4 scoring can also see a slight boost since they’ll see two less par 4s each round; of course they need to be outstanding on par 3s or par 5s for this particular case to be true.

The Top 10 Par 72 Specialists are:

Patton Kizzire (1.196 sg:par72 vs. 0.71 sg:total)
Luke List (1.758 sg:par72 vs. 1.346 sg:total)
Ryan Blaum (1.331 sg:par72 vs. 0.937 sg:total)
Kevin Tway (0.178 sg:par72 vs. -0.209 sg:total)
Vaughn Taylor (1.268 sg:par72 vs. 0.892 sg:total)
Ryo Ishikawa (0.679 sg:par72 vs. 0.338 sg:total)
Francesco Molinari (2.07 sg:par72 vs. 1.73 sg:total)
Smylie Kaufman (0.918 sg:par72 vs. 0.578 sg:total)
Chesson Hadley (0.568 sg:par72 vs. 0.252 sg:total)
Brandon Hagy (0.837 sg:par72 vs. 0.523 sg:total)

Luke List is the prototype golfer for who you’d expect to see raise their game on a par-72 layout. Same goes for guys like Smylie, Tway, and Hagy who are all big-time bombers.

Performance in the Wind

Without any course history to gleam on the deep stats this week, it’s nice to see Mother Nature oblige and give us this extra angle.

The current forecast calls for steady winds throughout all four rounds with plenty of gusts of 20+ MPH on top of that steady wind.

The 10 Windy Rounds Specialists:

Alex Cejka (1.416 sg:wind vs. 0.711 sg:total)
J.B. Holmes (2.024 sg:wind vs. 1.446 sg:total)
Daniel Berger (2.093 sg:wind vs. 1.575 sg:total)
Chesson Hadley (0.765 sg:wind vs. 0.252 sg:total)
Ben Martin (1.182 sg:wind vs. 0.698 sg:total)
Billy Hurley III (1.181 sg:wind vs. 0.698 sg:total)
Nick Taylor (0.976 sg:wind vs. 0.497 sg:total)
Max Homa (-0.134 sg:wind vs. -0.568 sg:total)
Whee Kim (0.823 sg:wind vs. 0.409 sg:total)
Pat Perez (1.471 sg:wind vs. 1.066 sg:total)

Golfers that grew up in windy conditions often continue to play well when the wind whips up. Berger is no exception as he grew up playing windy Florida golf.

An interesting name on the flip side is Harold Varner III. His wind stats on the PGA TOUR are rather weak but he won in Australia in windy conditions, so we know he CAN play in the wind. He also brings the Carolina connection, so I’m not counting him out despite the poor wind rating.

Bentgrass Greens

Eagle Point Golf Club has bentgrass greens, with the entire course being overseeded with ryegrass ahead of this week. This is very similar to Augusta National Golf Club, so it’s no surprise to see so many golfers on site comparing the two venues this week.

The Top 10 Bentgrass Specialists:

Miguel Angel Carballo (0.097 sg:bentgrass vs. -0.574 sg:total)
Ernie Els (1.019 sg:bentgrass vs. 0.436 sg:total)
Chris Stroud (1.233 sg:bentgrass vs. 0.72 sg:total)
Johnson Wagner (1.002 sg:bentgrass vs. 0.519 sg:total)
Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano (0.688 sg:bentgrass vs. 0.21 sg:total)
Soren Kjeldsen (1.52 sg:bentgrass vs. 1.071 sg:total)
Billy Hurley III (1.133 sg:bentgrass vs. 0.698 sg:total)
Geoff Ogilvy (0.857 sg:bentgrass vs. 0.422 sg:total)
Chad Campbell (1.359 sg:bentgrass vs. 0.926 sg:total)
Steven Bowditch (-0.062 sg:bentgrass vs. -0.448 sg:total)

A pretty ugly list overall here, but don’t be afraid to check out the full table at the bottom to see who else is Bentgrass positive.

Guys like Grillo, Berger, and Swafford are just below the top 10 but own a much higher baseline the most of the list above.

Down at the bottom of the bentgrass list we have golfers like Lucas Glover and Peter Malnati. Both of them are more than 3/4 of a stroke worse on bentgrass compared to their baseline performance.

Glover has just ONE TOP 25 over his LAST 24 STARTS on bentgrass. He brings the Carolina connection this week so I’m not fading him entirely, but definitely limiting my exposure.

Long Courses

Eagle Point Golf Club added some tee boxes ahead of this week to make it tougher for the pros. That puts the course yardage right around 7,400 yards, which is the criteria I use to classify a long course.

It won’t be the longest course these guys see this year, but it’s definitely on the longer side of the equation. More yardage often means more room for poor ball-strikers mistakes to compound themselves and put up big numbers.

The Top 10 Long Course Specialists:

Kevin Tway (0.86 sg:long vs. -0.209 sg:total)
Jonathan Randolph (0.652 sg:long vs. -0.15 sg:total)
Chesson Hadley (0.783 sg:long vs. 0.252 sg:total)
Chad Collins (0.704 sg:long vs. 0.213 sg:total)
Kyle Reifers (1.176 sg:long vs. 0.688 sg:total)
Ernie Els (0.878 sg:long vs. 0.436 sg:total)
Michael Thompson (0.902 sg:long vs. 0.467 sg:total)
Harold Varner III (1.177 sg:long vs. 0.752 sg:total)
Nick Taylor (0.92 sg:long vs. 0.497 sg:total)
Sam Saunders (0.589 sg:long vs. 0.175 sg:total)

Sam Saunders is always an interesting name to watch when he shows up on this long-course list. He’s not anywhere close to a bomber, but he continues to make it work on longer layouts.

Ken Duke and Brett Stegmaier are both basically a shot worse on long courses. Just say no.

Baseline Performance

The goal of this search is to find some golfers with a good course fit. At the same time, we don’t want to rely on golfers that need the week of their lives just to crack the top 25.

The following golfers are struggling with their current form, making them GPP-only options despite their good course fit.

GPP-Only Options:

Kyle Reifers
Robert Streb
Hunter Mahan
Smylie Kaufman
Chris Kirk
Ryo Ishikawa
Mark Hubbard

Kyle Reifers is the most appealing name to me here. His form is the closest to above field average and he also brings some Carolina connections as he attended Wake Forest and currently lives in Charlotte.

The Specialists

Daniel Berger
J.B. Holmes
Stewart Cink

daniel-berger-300x200

Our specialist this week is Daniel Berger!

Berger gets the reputation for being a Bermuda only type of golfer, but the stats say otherwise. It is poa and paspalum that seem to trip him up. Luckily, we are on neither as Eagle Point has pristine bentgrass surfaces.

One thing worth noting about this trio of specialists. They are all in the PM/AM tee-time wave. If the forecast starts the show a dramatic edge to one side then all three could either benefit or they could all suffer.

Keep that in mind as you make your lineups this week. We’ve equipped ourselves with good wind players, but avoiding the windiest conditions is even more ideal.

The Anti-Specialists

The specialists above are positive in all four angles, but which golfers are the opposite and show a poor course fit?

Brett Stegmaier
Fabian Gomez
Seung-Yul Noh
Morgan Hoffmann
Kevin Kisner
Tom Hoge
Greg Owen

Uh-oh! Kevin Kisner shows up on our list. He doesn’t grade out well in any aspect this week. However, he arrives with some of the best form and also sports the Carolina connection (although he’s from South Carolina, closer to Georgia). Add all that up, and I would suggest you LIMIT YOUR KISNER EXPOSURE, but don’t think you need to fade entirely.

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 25 rounds to qualify for each angle.
