6/6 is 25%
I could use a couple Ancer birds coming in; it’ll probably bump the 6/6% up to close to 30% but he’s give me 7 more 6/6s
Kooch done unless he drains a 64 ft putt
What a round from Killer Keith Mitchell.
Ancer is eagle or bust now
I have a 6/6 that is no where near the cash line. Have a 5/6 and a 4/6 that is scoring better.
Sometimes the chalk just hits.
I loved Nick Taylor for showdown tomorrow when he was just sort of puttering along at 1 under through 8 holes and 6 under for the tournament. He basically went off nine holes too early. I’m obviously not playing him now. I hate it when that happens.
Taylor is leading the field in SGP. It’s not going to hold up. Pure fade at this point
Went 50% Nick Taylor this week, but all my lineups are 5/6.
21/80 6/6 this week, pretty much tied the field. Anyone’s guess as to who will win this.
Best so far is 331 pts with Mats/Cink/Kokrak/Berger/Hahn/Na
Remains to be seen whether it hold up with this amount of chalk going off and a logjam in the standings
Anybody do worse than a 240.0 6/6? It’s my worst lineup in a 20-max even though I’m well below field on 6/6%.
I don’t think Nick Taylor will finish Top 10, btw.

37.5 points out of the money in the Birdie
3/10 6/6 and 5/10 5/6 there
0/20 6/6 in the cascading Short Game
6/20 5/6 none cashing
How’s a 25% 6/6 stack up against a typical week? My 20 lineups had 5 6/6, so I guess I’m right there with the field.
Nick Taylor at 1% probably isn’t hanging on, but I’m not actually sure how frequently the 2nd round leader sticks around to win the event.
Brendan Steele was the second round leader and the leader in SG Putting after two rounds here last year.
He lost in a playoff.
My core was a 6/6:
Harris English 10,800 -6
Joaquin Niemann 10,400 -9
Sebastian Munoz 7,800 -4
Stewart Cink 7,200 -10
Michael Thompson 6,900 -6
Brian Gay 6,700 -4
49,800
I ended up with 12 of 20 6/6s. Unfortunately, my Happy Meal and one or two others weren’t because I chickened out of having 2 sub-7,000 gophers in the core. (Haha, thanks for nothing Branden Not Amazing Grace and Abraham Not The Ancer.)
Still better than I’ve done before. Best one is at 305 with a Seabass to Leishman pivot. Lots of golf to be played but I’m feeling pretty good about the cascading core concept. Thanks for posting it, peeps!

Wow that is impressive

One at -5 and five at -4
Almost the stone minimum 😂
Howell -5
Sungjae -4
Kisner -4
Zach -4
Grillo -4
M Jones -4
The bright side is anyone who made the cut is within 6 shots of the lead and it is a birdie-fest – sorry Nick, but I don’t see you holding on to this one.
Typical week is in the 4-8% range.
My HM is in 85th PL at 227 with a 6/6. I expect to be on top of that leaderboard by Sunday Evening.
My single bullet that I did no research on went 6/6. I was about to say that I figured out how to print money in golf, then I saw the 6/6 percentage
Standings always change a bunch over the weekend, but I think even more this weekend as it is all bunched up. From 2nd place to last place is only 6 strokes. I don’t remember it being that close on a birdie fest course, but I could be wrong. Nick Taylor screwed everything up with his -12
Good luck everyone this weekend!!!!
hmm i think people are writing off taylor a little early. has won twice on tour and lead wire to wire at pebble last year. not sure if he’ll win but i don’t think he pulls a keegan or ksdt.
People are probably writing him off cuz they don’t have him
