History Lessons
Patrick Reed, Jimmy Walker, Bill Haas, Brooks Koepka, Jason Day, Brandt Snedeker, James Hahn, Padraig Harrington, Alex Cejka (PRO), Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth, Matt Every, J.B. Holmes, Jim Furyk, Justin Rose and Rory McIlroy are the first 18 winners of calendar 2015. Hahn (No. 297), Harrington (No. 297), Cejka (No. 285) and Every, No. 96 were the only players outside the top 70 in the OWGR to win this year.
After 28 wins in 45 events last season the USA has won with Snedeker, Koepka, Haas, Walker TWICE, Reed, Hahn and Johnson, Spieth TWICE, Every, Holmes and Furyk in 2015. The USA already picked up wins in 2014 portion from Charley Hoffman, Bubba Watson, Ryan Moore, Robert Streb and Ben Martin. The USA has won 18 of the first 23 events. Cejka, Harrington, Jason Day, Rose and McIlroy make up the rest of foreign legion who have won in calendar 2015. They join Sang-moon Bae (Korea) and Nick Taylor (Canada) from the 2014 as the international winners.
After 13 first-time winners in 2013 there were only 10 last year. Through 23 events in 2015, Hahn, Koepka, Martin, Streb, Taylor and Cejka have broken their maidens.
Stadium Golf
This will be the 34th edition of THE PLAYERS at TPC Sawgrass and the 42nd edition of the tournament. Some will argue that this tournament didn’t really begin until Dye’s Stadium Course became the permanent home in 1982. The evil genius, and that’s a good thing, has laid out 18 holes in which none run consecutively where water, sand and the seasonal winds of Florida all will affect the winning score. Dye’s classic “mind tricks” off the tee and into the below-average sized greens will test every big club in the bag; missing the greens or finding the multiple avenues of trouble will test all of the others.
The TOUR has experienced the wrath of Dye in two of the last three weeks at Harbour Town Golf Links and TPC Avondale before WGC-Match Play last week so they should be ready for another week of challenges. As usual Dye requires the golf ball to be moved both directions off the tee and those who don’t find the fairway won’t have much green to hit if they find themselves out of position. Dye will reward properly placed shots both into the fairway and the greens so ball-striking will be a premium again this week. Wayward shots from the tee box and fairway will find plenty of sand, water and mounding that will make life difficult.
The formula around here is pretty clear. The winner will have to hit greens, avoid bogeys and hold their nerve down the stretch. There have only been two winners since 2000 that have finished outside of the top 20 in GIR. Of those 15 champions, nine have finished T4 or better in that stat. The last two champions have made only five bogeys each (Kaymer did make a double but you get the point) and 26 of the last 30 have played the final three holes in even-par or better.
After digesting all of that, it’s easy to see what it takes to win but the pressure is palpable. Since Dye’s redesign in 2006, 54-hole winners have gone to die. 2007 saw Sean O’Hair fall to 11th; 2008 Paul Goydos couldn’t close out Sergio Garcia; Alex Cejka was 11-under through 54-holes and finished T9 in 2009; Lee Westwood fell to T4 a year later. G-Mac overcame the pressure at Pebble Beach to win the 2010 U.S. Open but shot 79 in the final round to finish T33 in 2011. In 2012 Kevin Na had problems taking the club back. 2013 saw Garcia wash not one, but two balls on No. 17 to see Woods pass him by. Last year, Kaymer became the first player to co-wire this event since Hal Sutton in 2000.
It’s not easy.
It shouldn’t be for $1.8 million.
Winning Scores
“Lucky 13” has been the winning score the last four years. These winners are back to 2007 when THE PLAYERS moved from March to its new spot on the calendar in May and after Dye’s latest design change.
2014: Martin Kaymer -13
2013: Tiger Woods -13
2012: Matt Kuchar -13
2011: KJ Choi -13
2010: Tim Clark -16*
2009: Henrik Stenson -12
2008: Sergio Garcia -5
2007: Phil Mickelson -11
*Clark was forced to WD this year due to injury
Facts and Figures
Course history will be in full effect this week as this track just doesn’t fit some of the best players in the world’s game.
There have only been two, first-time TOUR winners to raise the crystal, Craig Perks (2002) and Tim Clark (2010).
There have only been two, first-time winners in their first event at TPC Sawgrass as Perks and Hal Sutton (1983) chair this small club.
Fred Funk, 48, is the oldest winner in 2005.
Adam Scott, 24, set the mark as the youngest winner the year before in 2004. #extremes
Of the last eight winners on the May schedule, five have been internationals.
Only four Europeans have lifted the trophy as Sandy Lyle joins Garcia, Stenson and Kaymer.
Nobody in 33 previous tries has been able to defend their title.
Multiple Winners:
Tiger Woods: 2001, 2013
Davis Love III: 1992, 2003
Hal Sutton: 1983, 2000
Steve Elkington: 1991, 1997
Fred Couples: 1984, 1996
Please note how many of these listed above all a.) ball-strikers and b.) on the Champions Tour.
Tournament and Course Records
Greg Norman set the mark for the ages with 264 in 1994. That same year Fuzzy Zoeller set the record for birdies with 26. Rory McIlroy almost caught him with 25 last year.
Kaymer opened with 63 last year to become the fourth and most recent player to tie the low mark at TPC Sawgrass.
Since the move to May, Garcia has the highest winning score at five-under-par 283; Tim Clark has gone the lowest at 272 (-16).
Bizarre Stats of the Week
The lowest finish by a defending champion was T6 by Mark McCumber in 1989.
There have only been TWO playoffs since 1988.
There are only four players that have won a major, WGC and THE PLAYERS.
Tiger Woods
Phil Mickelson
Adam Scott
Martin Kaymer
There are nine former champs in the field.
Winner, Winner?
The winner at this event is never a surprise because this course doesn’t let average slip through the cracks. The average winner since the move to May has been mid-30s, above-average TOUR winner with a world pedigree. Only Tim Clark could be argued as the exception to this rule. Kuchar and Clark have proven that bomb-and-gouge isn’t the only way to navigate TPC Sawgrass but over history, they’ve been the exception, not the rule. The last three winners have all won WGC events prior so that’s a recent trend that proves that pedigree matters as well.
The Chalk
In order, these are the players that I believe project the best this week (Yahoo! group in parentheses). Time to saddle up the premium veterans who have flashed form recently and on this track!
Jordan Spieth (B): Only Woods has won the Masters and THE PLAYERS in the same season but dismiss Spieth at your own risk. His run of four tournaments finishing first or second was broken up by T11 at RBC Heritage after not sleeping for two days. He was one back after 36 holes last year and the co-54-hole leader. He didn’t make a bogey until his 59th hole of the week but added four more to finish T4. Did I mention it was his first time at TPC Sawgrass? He figured it out at Augusta on his second try and he’ll enjoy a week of speedier greens than he did in Match Play last week.
Rory McIlroy (A): The last two times that he’s gone back-to-back were events Nos. 2 and 3 of the FedExCup Playoffs in 2013 and last year at the WGC-BI followed by the PGA Championship so I’m not writing him off either. He made 25 birdies here last year, one short of the tournament record but squared 12 bogeys and two doubles to finish T6. He finished T6 with front nine scores of 37-42-38-35 but his back nine scores were 33-32-31-31. He played the final three holes TEN-UNDER-PAR and finished T6. His length and ball-striking, when on, makes him almost impossible to beat. His worst finish in 2015 is T11.
Jim Furyk (A): He plays hot in bunches and the Ponte Vedra Beach resident will look to continue his very solid play after winning on Pete Dye’s Harbour Town Golf Links and finishing fourth at WGC-Match Play at the difficult TPC Harding Park. He’s played the weekend in 15 of 19 tries and has probably played this course more than anyone in the field besides Vijay Singh. If playing from the fairway and finding GIR is the formula, I’ll have no problem backing the No. 3 player in strokes gained: tee-to-green on TOUR.
Justin Rose (B): His last two stroke play events have netted T2 at Augusta and WIN at Zurich. His last three stroke play events he’s posted 43-under-par so to say he’s hitting it well is accurate. His ball-striking is his calling card but his putting has markedly improved over the last few years as well. He’ll remember that he was seventh in strokes gained: putting here last year and that added confidence wont’ hurt.
Sergio Garcia (A): Since moving to May in 2007 Garcia has finished second, won, T12 and was T8 and third the last two years. To say TPC Sawgrass fits his game and eye is a major understatement. He found some joy at Augusta after a quiet run up to the Masters but it didn’t carry to Match Play. I’m not letting him slide this week. This will be start No. 16 at TPC Sawgrass so there won’t be many angles or shots he hasn’t seen. #Experience.
Matt Kuchar (B): I feel like I’m trying to pound a square peg in a round hole this week as Kuchar’s only top 10 in 10 tries was his win in 2012 but in Kuchar, I trust. His last stroke play event was solo fifth at Dye’s Harbour Town where he had no problem dismantling the par fives. He’ll have another chance this week to show off his skills navigating his ball on a course that doesn’t play long enough to scare me off. His short game is always the great equalizer.
Lee Westwood (B): Fresh off his win in Malaysia and knocking Spieth out of Match Play, the Englishman will be happy to see TPC Sawgrass where he’s racked up five top 10s in 12 starts. He’s played here four times in the last five years and 12 of 16 rounds have been par or better. No wonder why he has three top 10s in those four and that includes T8 and T6 in his last two.
Dustin Johnson (B): I’m not crazy about his course form on this layout but his 2015 is off to an excellent start. His worst finish was T43 when he was 11-under at Zurich. The last time he played in Florida this year on a difficult layout he won at Doral so I’m leaning on current form rather than course form. He’s too talented to omit.
Paul Casey (B): His ball-striking at Match Play was fantastic but he couldn’t kill of McIlroy and went home after the quarterfinals. It didn’t help that he picked up food poisoning before the continuation of their playoff but that’s about the only thing that has slowed him down this spring. He’s finished in the top 10 in his last three events on TOUR and five of his last seven. He fits the mold of a veteran ball-striker who’s won plenty worldwide to a T.
Hunter Mahan (B): His season turned with his T9 at Augusta and he backed that up with three blowouts in group play at TPC Harding Park last week. His run ended in the final 16 as he fell 2 and 1 to John Senden. With a T17, T6 and T19 in his last five he makes sense this week as his well-rounded game has translated here before, plus I like a guy on the up.
Henrik Stenson (A): He’s carded 11 of his last 12 rounds here at par or better and that does NOT include his 2009 win. He crushed my bracket last week as he was coming off an illness at Augusta that he hadn’t fully recovered from. An early exit in Match Play last week doesn’t deter me from the man who leads the TOUR in: SGTTG, SGP, SGTotal and is second in scoring and ball-striking. He’s eight in the all-around. SLACKER!!!
Louis Oosthuizen (C): He said last weekend he was healthy and feeling great and the results have backed that sentiment. He’s racked up four top 10s in seven events since early March and has only found four rounds over par during that stretch. He backed up his T19 at Augusta with T7 at RBC Heritage and was a beaten quarterfinalist last week at Match Play. He’s eighth in SGTTG and ninth in SGT. He hits PLENTY of GIR and that’s a key this week.
Hideki Matsuyama (B): He’s second in total driving, third in ball-striking and fourth in the all-around. His maiden voyage here last year saw him hit the top 25 and put all four rounds at par or better. His worst finish in 2015 when hitting the weekend is T23. He was fifth at Augusta and beat in the round of 16 (after sweeping his group 3-0) by McIlroy.
Jimmy Walker (B): His last three years he’s improved on his final position as T35 became T15 became T6 last year. He loves this track and he doesn’t hit any fairways. He finds plenty of greens though and his short game is ace. His closing 65 last year on Sunday included two bogeys. He’s posted 14 of 18 career rounds at par or better and six of those have been in the 60s.
Jason Day (B): His game comes and goes too much for his talent level but I’m willing to back a premium player who at least has some course form at Sawgrass. He was T19 in 2013 and T6 in 2011 with MC before and in the middle. He followed up a disappointing Masters with T4 at Zurich but went 0-3 at Match Play last week. I’ll play the every-other-week game with him because he hits it a mile and get up-and-down from railroad ties, alligator mouths or any bunker within 10 miles. He leads the TOUR in birdie average and the all-around and is eighth in GIR.
Gary Woodland (B): I loved seeing the stinger from him last week as he found a way to keep his tee ball in play. That strategy won’t hurt him again this week and if his iron play continues, I don’t see why he wouldn’t be in the mix again. After MC in his first two tries at Sawgrass he played all four rounds at par or better last year to finish T11. He also carded a very strong 22 birdies so he might have cracked the code here.
Adam Scott (A): If his superior ball-striking doesn’t translate this week, I’ll start to worry even more. He’s given gamers nothing better than T35 since his T4 at Doral to open his 2015 as he’s struggled to find a putter that makes him comfortable. I don’t doubt that angle is weighing on TRYING TO HIT IT CLOSER but he’s talented enough to do so. Let’s see if the good vibes at Sawgrass and his impending title defense at Colonial perk him up this week.
Tiger Woods (A): He won the last time he teed it up here in 2013 but couldn’t defend last year as he underwent back surgery. He flashed some of the old brilliance at Augusta where he dominated the par fives to the tune of 12-under. He’s had a bit of success here over the years as well and there are four par fives in play this week as well. He’s already on site practicing so that tells me GAME ON.
Zach Johnson (B): He’s racked up nine of 10 weekends including his last six and found form last week at Match Play. After he missed over HALF of his GIR in 75-73 missed cut at Harbour Town (from 67% of the fairways no less) He fixed something because he rebounded to win two of three matches last week at TPC Harding Park. With so many premium players struggling to figure this track out, Johnson has a nice risk-reward element this week.
Form Plays
Danny Willett: I’ll gladly take a chance on a hot hand as opposed to a big name that hasn’t been playing well or doesn’t play this course well. Willett’s tour of the States has shown gamers that might not have been believers that he’s quite a talent. In five events over the last two months he’s seen the weekend in four of them and was third last week at Match Play. Now that he’s eligible for unlimited exemptions for the rest of the season he should be free as a bird and should let it rip!
Morgan Hoffmann: His 73 in the final round at Zurich might have taken him well out of the top 10 (T36) but he’s not off of my radar. He’s hit the top 10 in two of his last four starts including T9 at RBC Heritage and fourth at API. His maiden voyage here last year saw him post all four rounds under par to finish T17.
Brendon de Jonge: He enters the week on a string of T5-T18-T22 and would fill the Tim Clark angle this week as a first-timer TOUR winner. He’s always around it but hasn’t gotten over the hump. He was T15-T15 the two years before his T70 last year.
J.B. Holmes: Last year he rode into town on the back of his win at Wells Fargo before missing the cut. This year his form is even better. He’s posted four top 10s including two seconds and a win since the beginning of February so he’ll be a nice complimentary piece this week.
Justin Thomas/Daniel Berger: He enters the week on the back of T11 at HTGL and T12 at Zurich, both Dye courses, so I’m right back on board again. He’s coupled with Berger because there’s really not much to choose between the two as BOTH should be in your plans this week, experience on this track be damned. Thomas is paired with Spieth and Berger with Walker as they play a money game at Sawgrass as I type this. Berger was only T6 last time out at Zurich so another exacta isn’t out of the question again this week.
Ian Poulter: Have his new irons taken the place of his clutch putting? After his T6 at Augusta and T18 HTGL I’m not giving up the ghost just yet after his 1-2 Match Play last week. In 11 starts at THE PLAYERS he’s finished second once and T21 for his other top 25 so I’m not leading with him this week but his form shouldn’t be ignored.
Cameron Tringale: He’s made nine of 10 cuts and was second last time out. His form has been very solid; his ball-striking numbers are not. He’s also posted his two top 10s on tracks he contended on before at SHO and Zurich. That’s not the case this week as he’s T72-MC-MC in his last three (only) trips. I’m investing on him turning the corner as he’s in the best run of form in his career.
Sean O’Hair: He’s played the weekend in six of his last seven and nothing has been outside of T29. His P2 at Valspar was the best of the run which also includes sixth at RBC Heritage and T12 at Zurich his last time out. Don’t be surprised if he makes the weekend and shoots a million on Sunday though. In five Sundays at Sawgrass he’s posted 78-77-73-72-77 and yet three of them are in the top 25. #WhatIf
Jason Kokrak: Similar to O’Hair, his season took off at Valspar and he’s only had one hiccup since. His T7 at Valspar was backed up by T6 at Bay Hill, T11 at Valero and MC at SHO to wrap up the Texas two-step. After opening with 72 at Harbour Town he played the final three rounds nine-under to finish T18.
Russell Henley: There’s more to scare gamers off this week than there is to bring them in so I like BOTH of these angles. After back-to-back let downs he should be readily ignored this week. Also, he was eight-under (65-71) after two rounds last year and was in the hunt before 80 on Saturday killed any chances of contention. Instead of mailing it in he rebounded with 66 on Sunday to finish T17. Ah youth…
Course Horses
Ben Crane: Somebody should research what the record is when the Golf Boyz get together on the same week. Crane has played here the last seven years and has made five cuts. The interesting part of this stat is that four of these are T8 or BETTER.
David Hearn: He’s coming off a week in New Orleans where he finished T6 and was a whopping 14-under on the par FOURS. Read that again. He’s played the last three at Sawgrass (his only three) T68, T26 and T6 last year. #trending
Luke Donald: The last FIVE years he’s put half of his 20 rounds in the 60s. His finishes are T26-T4-6th-T19 and T38 last year. The last four of those starts have seen him break par on Sunday and sneak in the back door. #bepatient. His two best finishes of this season are on courses where he’s played really well in the past.
Brian Davis: In his last nine here five have gone for T26 or better. He’s worth a punt with that upside in deep games and DFS.
David Toms: This is his 22nd start and first in two years. From 2009 to 2013 he made three cuts in five tries and all three were top 10s. His recent form suggests this would be a pipe dream but there’s no doubting he knows this track inside and out.
Off the Radar
Billy Hurley III: It’s his first time but the Navy man will have the entire Jacksonville military community in his corner. There’s always one guy who just appears out of nowhere in this tournament and with six MC in his last 11 he qualifies. He’ll play off the sprinkler line most of the week so there are worse choices.
Chris Kirk: He’ll fall through the cracks this week because he hasn’t given gamers any reason to pay attention in 2015 besides T8 at Valero. That’s not an easy course to navigate and neither is Sawgrass. Last year Kirk figured it out on the weekend with 70-67 to finish T13 for his best finish in four tries.
Matt Jones: He’s played here three times in the last four years and his two finishes are T19 and T17 plus a MC. He was eight-under entering Sunday, just four back, last year before 74 stifled his run up the leaderboard. Before he went MC-T34 in his last two he rattled off T7-T14-3rd-T26.
Erik Compton: After 70-80 MC his first time in 2013 he was T34 last year with three of his four rounds par or better. He played four tournaments on the weekend in a row and was T12 at Zurich his last time out.
Alex Cejka: Shhhhhhhhhh. He had a five-shot lead after 54-holes here in 2009 and finished T9 after 79. Since his win in a playoff at PRO, his first on TOUR, he’s played every weekend and posted T53-T11-T31-T65.
Fades
Phil Mickelson: His WD for personal reasons last week plus not finishing inside the top 25 in any of his last four here leaves me with more questions than answers. Mickelson is on course-horse detail until he proves otherwise.
Ryan Moore: Sure he’s made the cut in seven of eight of these but he’s never finished better than T26 in any of them. His current form suggests a look but his expectations should be tempered.
Graeme McDowell: He’s four for his last six with nothing better than T26. I’m not sure if 2011 still haunts him as his 54-hole lead went up in smoke with 79 on Sunday (T33). His last three have been MC-MC-T62 and with nothing better than T26 this season, I’m out.
Bubba Watson: He’s played seven events here and has found the 60s three times. He’s also MC thrice. That’s odd for someone who prefers to work the golf ball all over the place but it also suggests that putting shouldn’t be omitted completely this week. He’s never finished better than T37. I’ll have plenty of chances to burn him down the road, including Whistling Straits where he lost in a playoff to Kaymer in 2010.
Bill Haas: When 49 of the top 50 players in the OWGR play the same event I’m not playing a guy that has missed half of his eight tries and has nothing better than T26.
Rickie Fowler: In five tries he’s finished second and T77. The other three are MCs.
Keegan Bradley: I’m not sure anything is going right this season for Bradley and it looked like it boiled over last week with his run in with The Mechanic. That fire would be worth noting if he wasn’t 0-2 and one-down while taking a drop after hitting it OB on the last hole…He’s T72-T35-MC-MC in four tries. He has one round in the 60s.
Charles Howell III: He’s MC in eight of his last 11 here. His best finish is T53.
Rookie/Up-and-Comer of the Week Last Week
Once called the “Jordan Spieth” of the week, I had to retire that name after his last two seasons on TOUR. Now, we’ll keep a broad view of newer names/faces that gamers should pay attention to as the season moves on. Some former examples in this column include Hideki Matsuyama, Patrick Reed and Chesson Hadley.
Frys.com: Jon Curran, T8; Zach Blair, T12; Tony Finau, T12;
Shriners: Finau, T7
McGladrey: Robert Streb, WIN
CIMB: Cameron Smith, T5
SFC: Nick Taylor, WIN; Peter Uihlein, T4; Justin Thomas, T4; Blayne Barber, T9; Carlos Sainz, Jr., T9; Cory Whitsett, T14.
OHL: T7 Finau, T9 Barber, T9 Carlos Ortiz, T9 Oscar Fraustro,
HTOC: Taylor played his sixth event as a pro. He’s won 1/6 of the events he’s entered. That’s worth keeping an eye on for the foreseeable future.
Sony: Blair and Thomas finished T6 in their Sony debuts.
Humana: SJ Park (T2) is new to the TOUR but is hardly a rookie; Oh, look: Thomas in the top 10 again (T7).
WMPO: Koepka won so he graduates from this column like Reed, Spieth and Matsuyama before him. Justin Thomas is now the current mayor. Daniel Berger was T10, Thomas T17 and Finau returned with another top 25.
Farmers: Blair and Ortiz were T11 and Finau and Berger were T24. Not bad on a big, bad course!
Pebble Beach: Another top 10 for Berger and Curran as they had low rookie honors at T10. Will Wilcox was T18.
Northern Trust: Barber checked in at T12 and all that took was firing a tournament-low 65 on Sunday. No shame in Ortiz’s final round 75 from the final group as he played two very tough SoCal courses, Torrey South and Riviera T11 and T20. Noted.
Honda: Berger lost in a playoff. He’s played 10 TOUR events.
PRO: Young Argentine Emiliano Grillo missed a three-footer for his first win on TOUR. Curran hit another top 10, his third this season. Grillo has three TOUR starts; Curran has 17.
Valspar: There’s that pesky Thomas back in the top 10 AGAIN!
API: Berger just missed out on another top 10 with T13 and Blair and Ortiz racked up another top 25 each on T21.
VTO: Welcome Scott Pinckney to the proceedings as his T8 was quite stout. Ortiz hit the top 20 AGAIN with T15.
SHO: Berger, T25. He just keeps on keepin’ on.
Masters: Now you see why Spieth (WINNER) and Matsuyama (5th) were retired from the column? Koepka has already won as well. So has Henley. And Reed. Nobody this week fits.
RBC Heritage: Thomas, T11.
Zurich: Berger, T6. Thomas T12.
WGC-Match Play: N/A but Tommy Fleetwood is only 24 on the European Tour.
