What do we think the Course Fit will be for Oakmont? Obviously distance will be an advantage but do we think accuracy will be more or less predictive than normal?
Will and Matt, any chance you can upload Oakmont to the course fit page? The radar plot is very helpful. If not, where do you estimate each of the 5 main skills will land on the plot? Any guess would be helpful for now.
The fit currently in our model from the '07 and '16 US Opens has distance and accuracy off the tee both slightly favoured. Other 3 skills are near average. We probably won’t add it to the course fit page until closer to the week of… likely going to be tweaking it a bit depending on what reports are about the course over the next week.
Makes sense. Would u say Quail Hollow is a decent course comp then? Would have thought this favored distance a bit more and accuracy a bit less than what we saw at Quail.
Do we have Driving Accuracy and GIR rates for the 2016 US Open? Not sure if it was published back then and I don’t see it pulling into to the 2016 historical page.
Predicted weather (cold, wet) should make distance even more important. Fairways will be easier to hit, 7400 yards will play very long in those conditions.
hi @matt_courchene @will_courchene any leans where you’ll settle on course fit regarding driving distance vs accuracy? I know you mentioned seeing what you heard over this past week. Thanks!
and if you have any insight on approach (50-100, 100-150 etc) buckets that will be more important than normal that’d be cool to know too? Thanks!
