The Memorial Tournament: Round 3 Live Bets, Buys & Fades Using Strokes Gained Data

Chris Dell breaks down his top bets, buys and fades for Round 3 at the Memorial Tournament

The Memorial Tournament:
Round 3 Bets, Buys & Fades

Lead golf betting analyst Chris Dell breaks down his top bets, buys and fades for Round 3 at the Memorial Tournament, using strokes gained data in his live betting/putting regression model

By Chris Dell

To view my free live betting model and "Strokes Gained Scores," calculated each round, click here

Primer/Intro: Using strokes gained statistics allows us to find strong edges after Round 1 of a given PGA tournament when we combine them with a little math. Using our "Strokes Gained Scores" putting regression formula, we are able to determine top buys and top fades for head-to-head matchup bets, DFS strategy and live betting opportunities from round to round as well. Depending on certain courses we might look at some metrics more than others, but most weekends the primary focus will be on strokes gained off the tee strokes gained approach, strokes gained ball-striking and strokes gained tee-to-green.

The premise here is that strokes gained putting is wildly unpredictable and will vary from round to round, whereas strokes gained approach - as well as off the tee, ball-striking, and tee-to-green - are much "stickier" statistics which better indicate the golfers who are/aren't playing well in the moment.

Our "buy" golfers will be those with a strokes gained score of +1.0 or higher (rounded up from 0.95 if needed), while our "fade" golfers will be those with a strokes gained rating of -1.0 or lower (rounded down from -0.95 if needed). The goal for betting head-to-head matchups is to find two golfers whose SG SCORES combine to equal +1.0 or higher. For example, Golfer A's SG SCORE is +0.65 and Golfer B's SG SCORE is -0.50. Our SG MATCHUP SCORE then equals +1.10. I typically only bet these head-to-head matchups by using our "top fades" list and working down to all who have a -0.45 or SG SCORE or worse.

For more on this strategy, read this free article.

Strokes Gained is broken down into four categories, and depending on a certain course/tournament, we will look to target certain stats specifically to determine out H2H, round to round matchup prop bets.

  • Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee
  • Strokes Gained: Approach
  • Strokes Gained: Around-the-Green
  • Strokes Gained: Putting
  • Strokes Gained: Ball-Striking (which is Off-the-Tee + Approach)
  • Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green (which is Ball-Striking + Around-the-Green)

CHRIS DELL'S ROUND 3 BONUS BETS
TOP-RATED SG MATCHUP SCORES

We went 8-4 overall on Round 2 head-to-head (H2H) matchup bets using our live betting model data from Round 1. Now we have two full sets of data to use from Round 2 AND Round 1 + Round 2 combined.

I'm on 28 (!!) head-to-head matchup bets total for Round 3, using "Strokes Gained Scores" and matchup scores from my live betting/putting regression model.
