Searching for a Specialist: WGC-Bridgestone Invitational
The PGA TOUR returns to the States as we search for a specialist at Firestone Country Club.
Grading results from last week, we got both specialists through the cut, but didn’t find much success after that. I should have added in a Vertigo column, apparently. Overall, I would grade it a C or C+ for the week.
Looking at this week’s course, we are going to look at Performance when Fairways are Hard-to-Hit, Strong Field Events, Bentgrass Greens, Long Courses, Performance in the Summer, No-Cut Events, and Hard Courses in general.
Obviously that is a lot of angles we are looking at, so if any golfers come out unscathed, they truly are special.
Here we go …
Hard-to-Hit Fairways
Firestone Country Club has some narrow driving lanes and lots of the fairways are heavily sloped.
That combination makes it very hard to land your ball between the pipes.
Let’s see who improves their game when fairways are tough to hit like this…
The Top 10 Hard Fairway Specialists are:
Bubba Watson (2.914 sg:hard fairways vs. 2.003 sg:total)
Jon Rahm (2.94 sg:hard fairways vs. 2.214 sg:total)
Branden Grace (2.008 sg:hard fairways vs. 1.483 sg:total)
Rory McIlroy (3.534 sg:hard fairways vs. 3.052 sg:total)
Billy Horschel (1.743 sg:hard fairways vs. 1.321 sg:total)
Gary Woodland (1.886 sg:hard fairways vs. 1.522 sg:total)
Charl Schwartzel (2.07 sg:hard fairways vs. 1.708 sg:total)
Jhonattan Vegas (1.09 sg:hard fairways vs. 0.753 sg:total)
Charley Hoffman (1.748 sg:hard fairways vs. 1.434 sg:total)
Dustin Johnson (2.924 sg:hard fairways vs. 2.616 sg:total)
A common trend on the list above is DISTANCE. On top of that, all of these guys are very aggressive in their approach off the tee and very confident with the big stick in hand.
Strong Field Events
WGC events don’t have the deepest fields, but you really have to bring your best stuff to contend since most of the top 50 OWGR are in attendance.
The 10 Strong Field Specialists:
Thorbjorn Olesen (0.774 sg:strong vs. 0.182 sg:total)
Kyle Stanley (1.091 sg:strong vs. 0.708 sg:total)
Kevin Chappell (1.642 sg:strong vs. 1.333 sg:total)
Matthew Fitzpatrick (1.512 sg:strong vs. 1.262 sg:total)
Rickie Fowler (2.391 sg:strong vs. 2.173 sg:total)
Louis Oosthuizen (1.859 sg:strong vs. 1.648 sg:total)
Adam Scott (2.577 sg:strong vs. 2.388 sg:total)
Andres Romero (0.449 sg:strong vs. 0.27 sg:total)
Adam Hadwin (1.269 sg:strong vs. 1.097 sg:total)
Danny Willett (1.242 sg:strong vs. 1.07 sg:total)
These guys like to play up to their competition. Three of them have won majors, so there is no backing down.
A lot of this is mental and also preparation plays a big part. If you get inside your own head and worry about a slow start, you’re going to have a bad time. It’s important to stick to the game plan and take it hole-by-hole. Oosty and Scott are two of the best when it comes to grinding after slow starts. That really pays off in strong field events where the courses are usually a bit tougher.
Bentgrass Greens
The greens at Firestone CC are a mix of bentgrass and poa. Running the correlations, it doesn’t play all that similar to pure poa annua greens like we see out on the West Coast, which tells me bentgrass is likely the dominant strand here on a year-to-year basis.
The Top 10 Bentgrass Specialists are:
Xander Schauffele (2.323 sg:bentgrass vs. 1.131 sg:total)
Thorbjorn Olesen (0.888 sg:bentgrass vs. 0.182 sg:total)
Matthew Fitzpatrick (1.67 sg:bentgrass vs. 1.262 sg:total)
Scott Hend (0.89 sg:bentgrass vs. 0.507 sg:total)
Rickie Fowler (2.554 sg:bentgrass vs. 2.173 sg:total)
Andres Romero (0.646 sg:bentgrass vs. 0.27 sg:total)
Alex Noren (1.557 sg:bentgrass vs. 1.208 sg:total)
Russell Henley (1.568 sg:bentgrass vs. 1.244 sg:total)
Rod Pampling (0.498 sg:bentgrass vs. 0.234 sg:total)
Kyle Stanley (0.94 sg:bentgrass vs. 0.708 sg:total)
It’s still early for guys like Xander who has played just 30 or so rounds on bentgrass greens. However, he has shown a strong liking to bentgrass early in his career.
Someone like Rickie Fowler does not have that same sample size concerns. He have over 150 rounds on bentgrass since 2014, and has gained more total strokes on bentgrass than anyone in the field not named Jordan Spieth.
Long Courses
Firestone Country Club is 7,400 yards, which is really long, especially for a par 70 layout.
When long courses roll around, it puts a big emphasis on long-iron play. Let’s see who shines here.
The Top 10 Long Course Specialists:
Danny Willett (1.779 sg:long vs. 1.07 sg:total)
Jimmy Walker (2.108 sg:long vs. 1.606 sg:total)
Charley Hoffman (1.934 sg:long vs. 1.434 sg:total)
Brooks Koepka (2.397 sg:long vs. 1.943 sg:total)
Harold Varner III (1.19 sg:long vs. 0.781 sg:total)
Bernd Wiesberger (1.623 sg:long vs. 1.234 sg:total)
J.B. Holmes (1.816 sg:long vs. 1.451 sg:total)
Matthew Fitzpatrick (1.585 sg:long vs. 1.262 sg:total)
Russell Henley (1.565 sg:long vs. 1.244 sg:total)
Charl Schwartzel (1.96 sg:long vs. 1.708 sg:total)
Matthew Fitzpatrick is the only name from the list above that doesn’t crush it off the tee. Obviously, that is a big edge when it comes to battling a long course.
On the flip side, a plodder like Jason Dufner is nearly a shot worse per round when taking on courses over 7,400 yards. On the flip side he is from Ohio, so he brings local knowledge. A couple points to ponder this week.
Performance in the Summer
When we leave Cali and Florida, there are certain golfers that start to lick their lips.
Some golfers just like it a little warmer when they play. Some prefer the bentgrass greens. Whatever it is, let’s see who shines in the summer.
The Top 10 Summer Specialists:
Si Woo Kim (1.627 sg:summer vs. 0.809 sg:total)
Andres Romero (0.913 sg:summer vs. 0.27 sg:total)
Henrik Stenson (3.049 sg:summer vs. 2.514 sg:total)
Jason Day (3.151 sg:summer vs. 2.691 sg:total)
Emiliano Grillo (1.966 sg:summer vs. 1.515 sg:total)
Rickie Fowler (2.579 sg:summer vs. 2.173 sg:total)
Bryson DeChambeau (1.242 sg:summer vs. 0.841 sg:total)
Jhonattan Vegas (1.066 sg:summer vs. 0.753 sg:total)
Charl Schwartzel (2.013 sg:summer vs. 1.708 sg:total)
Zach Johnson (1.956 sg:summer vs. 1.655 sg:total)
Guys like Si Woo Kim and Bryson DeChambeau should have the small(ish) sample size alert next to their name above. They both have less than 50 summer rounds, so a few monster weeks can influence their stats, but we should give it another summer before truly considering them summer specialists.
No-Cut Events
There is no cut sweat this week as all 76 golfers are guaranteed four rounds, unless they withdraw.
Some golfers like the (relatively) stress-free nature of not having to grind out a cut.
Others get a boost on these type of events because they can take it reallllly low. Someone like Bill Haas has to be steady for all four rounds, but guys like Justin Thomas can bounce back from a 3-over round with a 65 the next day.
The Top 10 No-Cut Specialists are:
Ross Fisher (2.976 sg:no-cut vs. 1.675 sg:total)
Justin Thomas (2.606 sg:no-cut vs. 1.729 sg:total)
Bernd Wiesberger (1.824 sg:no-cut vs. 1.234 sg:total)
Rafa Cabrera Bello (2.182 sg:no-cut vs. 1.616 sg:total)
Dustin Johnson (3.165 sg:no-cut vs. 2.616 sg:total)
Daniel Berger (2.115 sg:no-cut vs. 1.632 sg:total)
Paul Casey (2.483 sg:no-cut vs. 2.035 sg:total)
Ryan Moore (1.919 sg:no-cut vs. 1.506 sg:total)
Bubba Watson (2.384 sg:no-cut vs. 2.003 sg:total)
Kevin Chappell (1.629 sg:no-cut vs. 1.333 sg:total)
From a sample-size perspective, nobody has gained more strokes over the field in no-cut events (since 2014) than Bubba Watson. He is a very aggressive player, so he can fire at flagsticks without fear of missing the cut.
On the flip side, Satoshi Kodaira and Jeunghun Wang are the only two golfers in the field who have lost strokes to the field in no-cut events. That is based on adjusted strokes gained. Given the strong fields that usually assemble for no-cut events, it takes some pretty horrendous play to grade out negatively.
Hard Courses
We already looked at tough-to-hit fairway stats, but Firestone CC is just a challenging venue, overall.
Adding another layer to our lasagna will let us know who can handle the toughest of scoring conditions.
The Top 10 Hard Course Specialists are:
Brooks Koepka (2.475 sg:hard vs. 1.943 sg:total)
Xander Schauffele (1.631 sg:hard vs. 1.131 sg:total)
Danny Willett (1.554 sg:hard vs. 1.07 sg:total)
Kyle Stanley (1.187 sg:hard vs. 0.708 sg:total)
Jordan Spieth (3.061 sg:hard vs. 2.634 sg:total)
Dustin Johnson (3.034 sg:hard vs. 2.616 sg:total)
Lee Westwood (1.853 sg:hard vs. 1.437 sg:total)
Harold Varner III (1.158 sg:hard vs. 0.781 sg:total)
Rafa Cabrera Bello (1.991 sg:hard vs. 1.616 sg:total)
Louis Oosthuizen (2.005 sg:hard vs. 1.648 sg:total)
Plenty of names on the list above that are regular staples when it comes to major championship leaderboards.
Firestone attracts the same kind of leaderboard, as it challenges all facets of the game, similar to a major.
Wesley Bryan has done most of his damage on the PGA TOUR in average or easier-than-average scoring conditions. I will take the wait-and-see approach before investing in him on a tough track like Firestone.
The Specialist
Paul Casey
Matt Kuchar
Our specialist this week is Paul Casey!
The Englishman arrives with top 15s in five of his last seven starts, so he’s playing good golf. Growing up in England, it makes sense he would play better on bentgrass putting surfaces, no grain to deal with.
At this event he has seven top 20s in 12 starts here. I like him to add an eighth to his resume by week’s end.
The second specialist is Matt Kuchar, who didn’t live up to the hype last week. He suffered through dizziness before the cut, but looked like regular Kuchar over the weekend. Unfortunately, Glen Abbey was playing as easy as it ever has, meaning it was too little too late for Kuchar to make a charge.
This layout looks like another great fit for Kuch, as he already owns three top 10s in eight tries here.
The Anti-Specialists
The specialists above are positive in all seven angles, but which golfers are the opposite and show a poor course fit?
Jason Dufner
It’s really tough to be negative in ALL SEVEN angles, but Dufner managed to pull it off. While the course doesn’t fit his profile, he does have ties to Ohio, offsetting a bit of his poor course fit. For that reason, I am not recommending a full fade, but I wouldn’t fall in love with Duff Daddy, either.
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.
