Key Statistics for Choosing the 2006 US Masters Golf Winner
For golf enthusiasts, the US Masters in early April is one of the year's most anticipated events. For bettors, it's also an excellent opportunity, making a thorough analysis of past and current form essential for profitable betting. So, what are the crucial statistics for selecting the US Masters winner?
1. Early Performance Indicators
Since 1990, over 80% of Masters winners have won or placed second in at least one tournament earlier that year. Notably, only José María Olazábal in 1999, Ben Crenshaw in 1995, and Nick Faldo in 1990 bucked this trend. Interestingly, each of these golfers had previously won the Masters in other years.
2. The Power Advantage
Augusta National will particularly favor big hitters in 2006. The course has extended by an additional 155 yards, now totaling 7,445 yards, with modifications to six holes. Having added over 400 yards in the past five years, the course demands long drives. Unless rain softens the playing field, prioritize golfers who excel in driving distance.
3. Greens in Regulation (GIR)
A vital statistic is the Greens-In-Regulation (GIR) percentage, which tracks how often a golfer reaches the green in the standard number of strokes or less. On a par 4, reaching in two strokes is standard. Over the past six years, only once has the winner not ranked in the top two for GIR by the tournament's end.
4. Proven Track Records
The Masters is a competition for proven winners. Top golfers like Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, and Vijay Singh boast exceptional records here. Mickelson, for instance, hasn’t finished worse than 12th in the past eight years. Unlike the British Open, unexpected winners are rare. No newcomer has triumphed since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979, making prior Masters experience essential.
Conclusion
Armed with these insights, you can narrow down potential winners for the 2006 US Masters. The likely victor will have robust previous Masters performances, a recent top-two finish, and high rankings in driving distance and GIR statistics for their tour.
