Farmers 22 Heavy Petting

If golf research were sexual...you'd be rounding 2nd base after this.

• 60/1 and shorter are your winning pre tournament odds the last 10 years. The South course tends to make the cream rise to the top

• 1 round on the North course either Wed or Th and you better make plenty of birdies when you're on the North course. Reed shot -8 on the North in 2021.

• Winning score between -13 and -16 based on current weather projections

• South consistently ranks as one of the harder courses on the PGA TOUR year after year. North consistently ranks one of the easiest.

• South course features pure, West coast, bumpy ass POA. Guys better have a good attitude about POA. North course is pure bent.

• Rough is Kikuya and rather sticky. Aussies & South Africans tend to be comfy on kikuya.

• This tournament sees below average fairways hit and GIR hit. Scrambling is going to play a factor, but obviously would prefer to be as long and straight off the tee as possible.

• Distance and a higher ball flight would be a nice advantage this week, but not required if you hit an ass ton of fairways and putt and chip your dick off (ie Snedeker 2x winner & Ben F'ing Crane)

• Rahm was the last guy to win in his 1st tournament start at Torrey in like 50+ years. Experience tends to prove more useful here than maybe the average tour stop

• This will play VERY different than it did in June of 2021 for the US Open. It will likely play longer due to softer turf conditions and cooler temps.

Ya gotta watch the interview with 15 year PGA TOUR Pro, Kevin Streelman. Streels was great! He was refreshing, funny and as genuine as they come on a TOUR filled with guarded egomaniacs.CLICK BELOW & TAKE IT IN
