f I would have had time to post any write-up last week, I would have started by noting the following: (1) my exceptionally diligent capping this season extended beyond the Masters and into May, but has been tailing off in recent weeks, as I knew it eventually would; and (2) even though my capping for the Memorial and Nordea Masters started the latest of any week this season, and involved the least substantial effort of any week this season, I still came up with a full slate of plays that seemed to make sense . . . Lo and behold, it was a great week, with Ilonen(33/1) winning and Stanley(125/1) securing third, and those high finishes kept me very interested all week, which prevented further attrition in observing ANGLES and INFORMATION for another week, plus the U.S. Open qualifying is always rich with story lines.
Now for this week, I have a short vacation beginning today and continuing through Tuesday, so I won't be on top of much golf this weekend regardless of any leaderboards, and I didn't put myself out with my capping efforts this week, and I struggled to fill out my card with selections I felt I had some ANGLE or insight on.
Lastly, by tomorrow I'll contribute to the U.S. Open thread with a few initial impressions.
Outrights:
Bud Cauley(80/1) e.w.
Cameron Tringale(66/1) e.w.
Shawn Stefani(200/1) e.w.
Robert Karlsson(33/1) e.w.
Casey Wittenburg(250/1) e.w.
- - Cauley has achieved less than I expected vis-a-vis his cohorts of young guns . . . Tringale had an inevitable lull, but IMO will be coming out of it this season as strong or stronger than before . . . not Mark Steffenhagen of FedEx fame . . .Why not Karlsson? . . . Wittenburg is a reach, but real value, IMO.
