Below, I\u2019ve outlined three players worth a look for OAD pools this week at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson.<\/p>\n

For those unfamiliar, OAD pools closely mirror an NFL survivor contest. Players select a golfer each week and earn their prize money at the conclusion of the event.<\/p>\n

The catch? Contestants can only use a player once. Additionally, not all prize pools are created equally, which further adds to the game theory.<\/p>\n

Golf odds<\/a> are reflective at the time of writing and are subject to movement.<\/p>\n

3 Best CJ Cup Byron Nelson One-and-Done Picks
\nOption #1: Si Woo Kim (+1400)<\/p>\n

The thought of trusting Kim in a putting contest offers some concern. But it\u2019s worth noting he finished no worse than 15th at Craig Ranch in his last three visits.<\/p>\n

The course, outlined in my CJ Cup Byron Nelson picks<\/a>, underwent some changes. What has not changed about the course is an emphasis on good ball-striking.<\/p>\n

What Kim lacks in distance off the tee, he makes up for with accuracy. Over the last five months, he ranks fifth in total driving and second in driving accuracy.<\/p>\n

While he lost strokes on approach in two straight events, he posted a +1.4 SG: APP output at Doral.<\/p>\n

Only Scottie Scheffler outpaces Kim in SG: TOT and SG: BS within this field. In a weaker field, I\u2019m happy to burn Kim with a presumably high floor.<\/p>\n

Option #2: Jordan Spieth (+1600)<\/p>\n

Spieth begins the CJ Cup Byron Nelson at his lowest outright price in quite some time. The good news? He arrives at the track with outstanding driving metrics.<\/p>\n

The Texas native averaged +0.8 SG: OTT at Aronimink and +1.03 at Quail Hollow. In his last four starts at TPC Craig Ranch, he posted three top-10 finishes.<\/p>\n

He also has generally excelled at TPC Scottsdale, a correlative setup. Over his last four starts at the Arizona course, he posted three top-10 finishes.<\/p>\n

Arguably the most encouraging factor about Spieth\u2019s PGA Championship performance was his irons. After losing strokes on approach in three straight events, he gained +0.51 per round.<\/p>\n

Only eight players outpaced him in SG: BS last week as well. Only two bested him in SG: T2G.<\/p>\n

Option #3: Ryo Hisatsune (+4500)<\/p>\n

We\u2019re getting further away from Hisatsune\u2019s best iron performances of the season. However, a 38,000-foot view offers some encouragement.<\/p>\n

Hisatsune ranks fifth in SG: TOT over the last five months. He drops to 38th over his last 20 rounds. But his Aronimink performance offers a potential silver lining.<\/p>\n

Hisatsune ranked eighth in SG: BS last week in Philadelphia. A 112th-place rating in SG: ARG doomed his chances of contending.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most encouraging sign from Aronimink is that Hisatsune went from -0.81 SG: APP per round at Quail Hollow to +0.66 last week.<\/p>\n

Last month, he spiked to +1.74 at TPC San Antonio. He also put together strong finishes at Torrey Pines and TPC Scottsdale, two comparable courses.<\/p>\n

If he rediscovers his top-tier iron play, Hisatsune\u2019s mixture of distance and accuracy off the tee gives him a good chance here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Below, I\u2019ve outlined three players worth a look for OAD pools this week at the CJ Cup Byron…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":678097,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443],"tags":[49,48,622,82],"class_list":["post-678096","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/678096","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=678096"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/678096\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/678097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=678096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=678096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=678096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
