Post-Tourney Thoughts
This week was a very hectic one for me watching the Oracle’s leaderboard shift places constantly. At one point my top two picks for the week Alex Noren and Maverick McNealy were staring at a missed cut. Luckily, McNealy charged all the way from in the hundreds to tied for 7th place. Noren unfortunately could not pull anything like that off making my main slate Draftkings lineup a complete bust. I managed to scrounge a couple of betting wins with the help of Rory, Keith Mitchell and my new favorite player the Maverick. Overall, this has been a solid week, in my opinion, for the model. But, I think the lesson I have learned when it comes to lineup setting is I have to account for the hot-hand. The winner Robert MacIntyre wasn’t near the top of any of the key stat categories during the whole of the season but his last five tournaments have been building him towards this win. I cannot add the last five tournament stats to the model but I can intuitively try to identify the players that fit into the MacIntyre mold for the upcoming weeks. Nothing is ever perfect, but 40% of the Oracle’s Top-10 being correct is a positive step in my mind and I hope if you did take any of this advice it was the hits and not the misses.
Thanks for everyone reading this page, this process has been really fun for me.
