More Like Wedgefield, amirite?
The nature of Sedgefield creates an situation where most players hit from the same general areas and gives them an opportunity to hit wedges into many greens. While the proximity bucket stats are flawed, there’s a few courses on TOUR where they come in handy. This is one of them. Here are the best players in the field when you put equal weights on 100-125 yards, 125-150 yards and 150-175 yards:
Si Woo’s Chances
I’m happy to forgive Si Woo for the 11 he made on a par-3 last week, but that was really just an enhanced view into his approach play recently. Outside of the 10.2 strokes (not a typo) he lost on approach on Sunday, he lost another 6.85 over the first three rounds. He’s now lost strokes on approach in 12 of his last 16 measured rounds. Combine that with the fact that he’s lost strokes putting in 13 of his last 15 measured rounds and it’s hard to find much optimism.
I’m not any better!

The Value is in the Middle
If you’ve been playing on Jock MKT, you’ll notice that a lot of value is coming from the mid-cap stocks. Abraham Ancer sold for $5.35/share last week and cashed for the full $25.00/share. That continues a trends of the $5.00 tier being one of the most valuable tiers to invest in. On average, a golfer who sells around $5.00 in the IPO will return 5.03% positive ROI.
