🔑 But What Have You Done For Me Lately?

Man, Jordan Spieth is so hard to figure out this week. I’m looking at the course history, it’s elite. It’s some of the best history at any course for any golfer. But what have you done for me lately?

Since the U.S. Open, Spieth has been rather pedestrian. Here is his Strokes Gained with comps:

OTT: +0.11 | Maverick McNealyAPP: +0.19 | Andrew PutnamARG: +0.16 | Kevin KisnerPUTT: -0.01 | Taylor PendrithTOT: 0.30 | Ben An

At $10,600 on DraftKings, it’s the most expensive he’s been since the 2021 FedEx St Jude. Here was his lead-in form before that event. Elite stuff:

❓ Trivia Question

Let’s have some fun, here’s a trivia question for you. Answer at the bottom of the email.

This well decorated golfer has 11 professional wins, including (2) on the PGA TOUR, (2) on the Asian Tour, (2) on the Korean Tour, (2) on the Philippines Golf Tour and (3) on the Asian Development Tour. Who is it?

🔦 Golfer Spotlight: Marcel Siem

The $6,000 range is pretty bleak this week so your eyes might be drawn to Marcel Siem. I’ll admit, you could do worse. He’s been playing well on the European Tour, three Top 20s in his last four starts and routinely gains strokes in the ball-striking categories. Yes, European Tour Strokes Gained data is available on RickRunGood.com!

🔁 Ownership Pivots

Maverick McNealy (24%) to Justin Rose (14%)Both are reliant on the putter. Both have decent results coming in. Both are in the Top 8 of the betting odds. One has twice the ownership.

Nick Hardy (14%) to Robby Shelton (7.5%)Shelton’s one weakness (lack of distance off-the-tee) won’t really be a problem here. He’s flashed Top 10 upside twice in his last four starts and he’s a significantly better putter than Hardy.

📈 Markets Are Boomin’!

Two Bens are piling up winning weeks in the Jock MKT (stock market DFS). Ben Griffin has the highest average ROI (+133.5%) of any golfer in this field over the last 10 starts. Ben Taylor isn’t far behind, earning a +82% average ROI for his investors.

Jock MKT is a great fantasy option and they also just added pick ‘em games to complement their stock market game. If you haven’t been playing, you no longer have an excuse. Play now!
