Key Player Analyses & Quotes
Jackson Subar (75 to 1)
π Speaker: Dave Essler (0:05 – 0:40)
π Key Stats & Analysis:
Opened with a 66 at the Sony Open and a 65 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
Strong long iron play, which is crucial given the course’s long par threes and par fours.
Ranks 1st in Shots Gained: Approach and 18th in Shots Gained: Putting.
Considered a hidden gem among long iron players.
π Quote Analysis:
“He might be the best long iron player people don’t know about. I mean, granted, we’ve got a small sample size, but he’s actually first game to shots game approach and 18th in shots game putting.”
π Insight: Essler highlights Subar’s under-the-radar skills, particularly with long irons and putting. The small sample size introduces uncertainty, but the data supports the bet.
Grayson Sig (65 to 1)
π Speaker: Sleepy J (0:41 – 3:09)
π Key Stats & Analysis:
Track record at the Mexico Open:
2024: 19th, 2023: 18th, 2022: 33rd.
Recent form:
9th at the Farmers Insurance Open.
32nd at the Phoenix Open.
Course familiarity gives him an edge.
Morning tee time advantage: Less wind early in the day.
π Quote Analysis:
“If you know anything about the Mexico Open, especially at this venue in this course, you know, it does get a little bit windy there in the afternoon. So I actually think the morning guys will have a leg up with the first round leaders this week because of the wind.”
π Insight: The weather factor is a key reason for this bet. Sleepy J believes that calmer morning conditions provide a competitive advantage.
Ben Silverman (75 to 1)
π Speaker: Sleepy J (3:09 – End)
π Key Stats & Analysis:
Previous Mexico Open performance: 13th place finish.
16th place at the Phoenix Open.
Had a week off, which could mean rested form.
Strengths: Strong putting and iron play.
Weakness: Needs to improve his driver accuracy.
π Quote Analysis:
“His putter iron locked in right now. If he can go in and get his driver straight, this feels to me like it’s another longer shot guy that we might see floating around.”
π Insight: Silverman is a high-risk, high-reward pick. If his driver is consistent, he has a realistic shot at leading after the first round.
Key Takeaways & Betting Strategy
Jackson Subar (75 to 1): Elite long iron player with strong approach and putting stats.
Grayson Sig (65 to 1): Consistent Mexico Open performer, benefits from a morning tee time advantage.
Ben Silverman (75 to 1): Underrated due to limited exposure but strong short game.
π― Overall Betting Insight:
The speakers focus on value picks with high upside rather than favorites. The key selection criteria are course familiarity, stats in approach and putting, and early tee times to avoid windy conditions.
