Strike the ball well and make birdies. These bets are with a majority being plus-money wagers. The ROI has been solid. Birdies are the name of the game this week. Hubbard is ninth in the field for birdie-or-better percentage, which is a statistic that shows the percentage of time a player successfully putts for a birdie or eagle. That stat alone is reason to back a player getting plus-money value.
Hubbard is volatile off the tee, losing strokes in five of his last seven tournaments. Sami Valimaki of Finland lost momentum on the back nine until finishing with birdie from the collar of the green on the par-5 18th for a 67, leaving him four shots back. Knapp was at under , and only Valimaki was within six shots of him. Ortiz, the younger brother of Carlos Ortiz , didn't make a birdie until the 18th hole and had to settle for a 73, leaving him 10 shots out of the lead.
More than the Masters is at stake for Knapp and Valimaki, another PGA Tour rookie who earned his card this year from being among the leading 10 players on the European tour. Knapp has spent four years on the Canadian tour and three years on the Korn Ferry Tour, where last year he finished high enough on the points list to earn a PGA Tour card.
During lean times, he worked as a bouncer in a club -- it was called "The Country Club" -- in Costa Mesa, California, and now appears to have hit his stride. He contended at Torrey Pines and tied for third, and he's hoping that experience will serve him well in the final round of the Mexico Open. I've had some good stuff and some bad stuff," he said.
Matt Wallace , the other player who shared the hole lead, had a 71 to fall eight behind. Knapp, with his long, powerful swing, did everything well at the start. He made birdie putts of about 15 feet and 25 feet on the fourth and fifth holes, got up-and-down from a bunker on the par-5 sixth, drove the reachable par-4 seventh and two-putted from about 80 feet and closed out the front nine with a tee shot to 4 feet on the par-3 ninth.
When you start zooming out, you can try to identify golfers through their ebbs and flows. Jon Rahm is flowing right now…. Birdie or better matchup When Rahm switched to Callaway at the start of the year his advanced metrics took a dive, specifically in the short-game categories. For his first 7 events of the year, he lost strokes around-the-green in 6 of them — for a total of 6.
To help with perspective, there were some high profile losses during that run:. In fact, if you really want to play the WHAT IF game … If Jon Rahm plays to his short-game average instead of losing all those strokes, he wins two of those events and finishes third in the other. Rahm fixed the one thing that stopped him from winning … scary!
Over the last few years, the greens at The Country Club have actually been expanded to 4, sq. Here are the best players on small greens 5, sq.
