Puerto Rico Open Power Ratings

Thomas Hawley 0 comment

Let’s not kid ourselves .. this is not a good field for the Puerto Rico Open. With the $20 million Arnold Palmer Invitational occurring in Florida, and this one at less than 20 percent of that, they have attracted a field that includes only one — Erik van Rooyen — of the Hawley Ratings top 100, and only 10 of the top 200. In fact, over half the field cannot be found in the top 400.

So somebody is going to head back to a mainland somewhere very happy on Sunday. It could be someone like (alphabetical order) Brent Grant, Nate Lashley, Ben Martin, or Dylan Wu. Grant, a 26-year-old Tour rookie, has made two of five cuts in 2023, a 20th-place finish at the Pebble and 25th at the Farmers. Lashley, a 40-year-old Tour veteran with one career win (2019 Rocket), was 20th in the Genesis and had a top-10 in the Sony. Martin, a 35-year-old veteran who has been up and down between the PGA and Korn Ferry tours, has one career win (2014 Shriners) and was fifth last week in the Honda and in the top 20 at the Pebble. Wu, 27, has made three of the last four cuts and had his second career top-10 (in 36 events) last week in the Honda.

The accuracy number for these picks is 126. The average is 164. (An accuracy number of 1000 would indicate a perfect set of picks from first place through 16th.)

Players are listed in order of preference. The Power Number reflects the player’s Hawley Rating, fit for the course, past performance in this event, and recent performance in tour events. Observed Odds is the frequency that a player actually wins the event, given the listed Power Number and its margin behind the favorite. This differs from betting odds, which reflect take-out by the sports book and sentiment of the public. Course fit reflects the player’s statistical profile in relationship to the statistical profile of players who have been successful on this course in recent events.
