*90% of The Open winners since 1900 have been within three shots of the lead entering the final round.
*Since 1895, there have been 22 editions of The Open held at St. Andrews. Every single winner has been within four shots of the lead entering the final round.
Weather Forecast – St. Andrews, Scotland
The current wind forecast again appears to favor the golfers teeing off earlier in the day with winds between 8-10 mph and any gusts below 20 mph. Around noon when the upper half of the leaderboard begins their round, winds increase to 12-13 mph with higher gusts. In similar conditions, we saw the early wave on Saturday have a 1.39 shot edge over the afternoon wave. Don’t forget finishing points are awarded tomorrow if you are playing Showdown lineups, but I would make sure to include at least a few players from the early wave in each lineup. Players with upside teeing off early include Sam Burns, Joaquin Niemann and Justin Thomas.
