The Model Maniac

174 articles

A South African native living the American dream. I played college golf in Iowa where I spent four years playing and two coaching, while grabbing 3.5 finance related degrees along the way. As my twitter handle suggests, I am obsessed with my very own excel model. Tournament long matchups are my favorite bet and I love nothing more than a Sunday golf sweat.

Joaquin Niemann Can Go Low Enough To Win Scottish Open

Joaquin Niemann has the length, approach play and short game to win tournaments on tour, validated by his record-setting win at the Genesis Invitational in February. However, Niemann has only gained strokes across all four major categories once since doing so at Riviera Country Club. If he can keep his concentration this week, he has […]


Christiaan Bezuidenhout Capable Of Hitting Driver Further

After a one-on-one discussion with Christiaan Bezuidenhout's trainer at the John Deere Classic, he mentioned that Bezuidenhout has gained a full club worth of distance recently and can hit his driver further than his on-course metrics portray. The reason this has yet to come to fruition on the course is because the distance he has […]


Viktor Hovland Can Limit Poor Chipping On Links Course

Viktor Hovland's only major weakness is his around-the-green game, losing an average of 0.67 strokes per round this year. The rest of his game has been sensational for the most part. At a links-style course, the undulations and grass type around the green allow significantly more opportunities to putt your ball onto the putting surface, […]


Matthew Fitzpatrick Looking For Consecutive Wins

Matthew Fitzpatrick will tee it up for the first time since winning the US Open. He did so without gaining any strokes putting, which is a testament to his hard work on the ball striking front finally paying off. He now is considerably longer off the tee and that will come in handy at a […]


Tommy Fleetwood Dependent On Tougher Conditions

Tommy Fleetwood's ball-striking has not been consistent enough for him to find himself regularly contending for wins, particularly on easier courses that require a multitude of birdie opportunities. His short game is the best aspect of his skill profile, and that is often emphasized when conditions get tougher and greens are harder to hit. His […]


Justin Thomas Looking To Capitalize On Revitalized Putter

Justin Thomas heads to the Scottish Open refreshed after teeing it up last at the US Open a few weeks ago. He is also in incredible form with his relatively poor performance of T37 at the US Open resulting from some sloppy short game which is typically the most volatile area of a golf game. […]

Breaking $100: PGA Betting Picks and Strategy - John Deere Classic

Since the last article two perennial bridesmaids managed to win the last two events. Matt Fitzpatrick waltzed down the grassy Country Club aisles on Sunday of the US Open with unabated blissful grins, showing off his braces which I believe are testosterone injectors, as Fitzy stole the show on the back of a powerful ball […]

Breaking $100: PGA Betting Picks and Strategy - US Open

After many weeks of sharing our gambling trials and tribulations together, I am boarding a cruise ship and unplugging for a week. For those of you that are familiar with my personality, it will come as no surprise that I will be the official Flower Bro for the wedding taking place on the "Mariner Of […]


Breaking $100: PGA Betting Picks and Strategy - RBC Canadian Open

For the first time in this series and my personal betting history, we had a bet lose because Hideki Matsuyama decided to play with white-out on his 3-wood and was promptly disqualified for playing with a non-conforming club. Collin Morikawa (T20) had his worst around the green performance of his professional career and Seamus Power […]


Corey Conners Gaining Around The Green For First Time As Pro

Corey Conners heads to his home country to contend for the RBC Canadian Open. He is having his best putting year on tour, gaining +0.11 so far this season. He is also gaining around the greens for the first time since turning pro. With a rejuvenated short game aiding his impeccable ball striking there is […]


Scottie Scheffler Seeking Fifth Win This Year

Looking for win No. 5 on the season, Scottie Scheffler will tee it up at the RBC Canadian Open this week. Seemingly no course is insurmountable for Scheffler, who has won on varying course layouts this year. He has gained handsomely across all four major statistical categories, with approach play being his biggest weapon so […]


Justin Thomas A Great Play The Week Before A Major

Justin Thomas lost strokes on approach on US soil for the first time since February of 2021. An incredible stretch of iron play came to a screeching halt, losing -4.66 on approach, missing the cut at the Charles Schwab Challenge. If we chalk down his performance to what he may have been drinking out of […]


Breaking $100: PGA Betting Picks and Strategy - the Memorial Tournament

Scottie Scheffler was denied his fifth win of the season when Sam Burns buried a birdie putt from off the green in their first playoff hole. Sam managed to go low while the weather permitted and then sat back for a few hours and watched the leaderboard get blown away as each contender made their […]


Breaking $100: PGA Betting Picks and Strategy - Charles Schwab Challenge

Justin Thomas managed to withstand the heat that melted away the competition around him on Sunday afternoon at the PGA Championship. Although Thomas missed THAT birdie putt, the one you practice and pretend is to win a major championship on the 72nd hole, he clutched up in the playoff against Will Zalatoris who is officially […]


Talor Gooch Offers Medium Upside At Colonial Country Club

Talor Gooch made the cut at the PGA Championship and continued his streak of top-30s once making the cut. In the 13 starts since his win at the RSM Gooch has either missed the cut or finished top-30. Although he has nine top-30s, he only has one top-10 in that span, offering a high floor […]


Will Zalatoris May Continue To Struggle With Wedges At Colonial

Will Zalatoris finishing runner-up in a playoff for the PGA Championship and what would have been his first win on tour. Zalatoris continues to prove that he is a major contender with his fifth T8 or better in the seven majors he has not withdrawn from. Leading the tour in strokes gained approach, Zalatoris' tour […]


Jason Kokrak Looking To Defend Title

Jason Kokrak enters the week of his title defense with two top-20s in his last four starts. With only two missed cuts on the season, he has been playing remarkably steady golf on most fronts. His driver continues to be his best weapon from tee-to-green. But once his sporadic approach play and mediocre around the […]


Scottie Scheffler Looking To Bounce Back In Texas

Scottie Scheffler missed only his second cut of the season at The PGA Championship. Outside of his approach play, all other areas of his game let him down. He now heads back to Colonial for the third time in his career, hoping to improve on a missed cut and a T55. The biggest concern heading […]


Viktor Hovland Can Chip Away At Colonial Country Club

Viktor Hovland has gained off the tee in all but two of his 12 starts this season, while gaining on approach in all but one of those starts. His biggest weakness is his around the green play, gaining less than 0.28 total strokes in 11 of 12, often losing considerably in this department. Colonial CC […]


Sungjae Im Returns From COVID Protocols

Sungjae Im found himself in Korean COVID-19 protocols a week before the PGA Championship, which caused him to miss the second major of the year. Colonial Country Club suits Im's ball-striking ability. He is accurate and long off the tee, which is a premium requirement at a tight venue like this. His approach play has […]


Justin Thomas Eyeing Back-To-Back Wins

Justin Thomas, now a two-time PGA Champion, battled the worst weather that hit his wave of tee times to outduel Will Zalatoris in a playoff last weekend. Thomas gained at least 2.4 strokes in each major statistical category. His irons, typically the strength of his game, gained the least number of strokes. He gained over […]


Breaking $100: PGA Betting Picks and Strategy - PGA Championship

K.H. Lee has now cemented his nickname as TPC Lee with back-to-back Byron Nelson victories at TPC Craig Ranch. He out-birdied Jordan Spieth who wowed his home crowd with Houdini-like scrambling efforts and near hole outs from the fairway to finish second, one shot off the lead. Birdies were flying and the leaderboard ended up […]


Cameron Young A Steady Putter Away From Victory

Cameron Young has four finishes T3 or better in his rookie season but has not yet managed to get his hands on any hardware. He enters the week as one of the more popular plays courtesy of his controlled power off the tee that has reliably gained him an average of 0.9 strokes per round […]


Talor Gooch A Safe Play

Since his win at the RSM Classic in November, Talor Gooch has either finished in the top 30 or missed the cut. If Gooch makes the cut, you will most likely be rewarded with an impressive finish. He does the majority of his scoring with his irons, around-the-green game and with his putting. Over the […]


Will Zalatoris Looking To Continue Incredible Major Form

Will Zalatoris may have lost the trust of those that played him last week at the Byron Nelson, where he lost 4.26 strokes putting en route to his first missed cut since November. In his seven major appearances, Zalatoris has gained over 1.8 strokes per round in five of those starts, culminating in four top-eight […]


Joaquin Niemann Has Skill Set To Contend For PGA Championship

Joaquin Niemann entered his final round of the Byron Nelson in third place and ended his day T25, losing 5.69 strokes to the field in a single round. He will be looking to bounce back this week at a course that suits his impressive tee-to-green game. At a course that demands exceptional play around the […]
