Clear movement early on matchups at Cris with every one being towards AM starters: PGA Tour Match-Up Odds Screen | Data Golf

I am questioning this a little with forecasts now. Wind seems to be picking up Thursday AM and (from what I can find) there’s a threat of weather suspending play Thursday midday on. That opens up all sorts of possibilities.

Sure we’re all on Henley and Si Woo. Hisatsune my favourite outsider.

I always have a hard time with weather forecasts/adjustments.

So what you’re saying is BetCris has moved their lines on matchups to favor the players with AM/PM times? However you question the validity of this because there could be a stoppage in play and then basically throw all the initial wave adjustments to garbage?

Yes, Betcris opened their 72h matchups and there was a quick shift across the board to AM players in matchups vs PM players. They moved far enough on some that it created green value which says to me someone thinks the advantage for AM players would be larger than the DG weather has it.

That move was early in the week so my point is that the forecast looks messier now. The wind has picked up a little Thursday AM, potential rain stoppage Thursday PM could push players later into Thursday which might help BUT it could push them into Friday AM which looks tough.
