One and Done Selections - AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am
Joe Nicely - Jordan Spieth
Alternate - Jason Day
Well…Daniel Berger’s late WD with a back injury kinda threw a wrench in my OAD works this week. So…let’s have some fun.
I suspect we’ll see OAD picks pretty concentrated this week, with names like Cantlay, Day, & McNealy getting more than their fair share of the support. Those guys are all fine and definitely sensible, but what about the guy that was my play for this tournament last year, Jordan Spieth? I haven’t heard a peep about him.
I admit the form has been…ugly. The results…bad. The statistics…cringe-inducing. However, let’s not forget that we’re talking about Jordan Spieth here. Translation…there’s really no rhyme or reason for how the magic happens, it just happens. Spieth usually saves his most impressive feats for a couple of special venues, the most prominent of which are Augusta National and Pebble Beach. So while I don’t know just how - or if - he’s gonna be able to pull the rabbit out of the hat this week, I’m gonna have a whole lot of fun watching him try.

Spencer Aguiar - Jason Day
Alternate - Seamus Power
The way things played out this week, Daniel Berger was on my shortlist of options I was heavily considering, but his removal from the field changed the dynamics and structure for how I decided to proceed moving forward.
Sometimes the script writes itself, and everything falls into place perfectly, and I am excited to announce that the time to play Jason Day has finally arrived. The Aussie has finished inside the top-seven of this tournament in every appearance since 2017, and he grades second on my model for the week - behind only Patrick Cantlay.
Remember, even if you are not ready for the DAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY, it can not always be night, and we see that here with the typically overcast coastal weather instead shining light onto Day's grand return to glory this weekend at Pebble Beach. The time for the Day army to march forward is now.

Matt Miller - Mito Pereira
Alternate - Jason Day
I told myself going into the year that I was going to stick with top-50 ranked golfers all season in OAD. That lasted the month of January. This week I'm taking world number 95, Mito Pereira. The young Chilean has played 14 PGA Tour events since July and has finished outside of the top-40 in just three of them. He also added an impressive T-4 finish at the Olympics last August. Last week he made his first appearance of the new year and finished T25 at the Farmers Insurance Open, gaining over three strokes on approach. With small greens this week, players will have to have their approach game working if they wish to compete. I believe this sets up perfectly for Mito. If the putter cooperates, we might be calling him a PGA Tour winner come Sunday afternoon.

Owen Vrabel - Jason Day
Alternate - Kevin Kisner
Jason Day is the premier horse for the course type play at Pebble Beach. Since 2015, Jason has seven consecutive top-11 finishes at the AT&T Pro-AM. Regardless of his current form coming into these California swing events, he delivers time and time again. Last week's 3rd place finish at Torrey Pines was convincing that he is healthy and ready to have a bounce-back campaign this year.

All aboard the Jason Day train this week. I’m sure my pick is duped by Spencer, so I won’t be gaining any spots on him this week, but I’m OK with that. I’m taking a similar approach this week to last week. It didn’t work out well last week with Tony missing the cut, but I’ve learned to trust the process.
Like I said last week, you can look at course fit or form or whatever stats you want, but it’s evident at this specific tournament that some guys just crush no matter what. Hard to find a guy that crushes this event more than Day. If we would have had this tournament a couple months ago, this pick wouldn’t have been so easy, but it appears Day has returned to some good form and health, and now gets to a place where he’s only finished outside top 11 one time in the last 9 years. Most importantly, I just want to be on the ride for the celebration Spencer is about to have when he takes this thing down.

Andrew Putters - Patrick Cantlay
Alternate - Chris Kirk
I was a little torn this week, but I decided to go with Patrick Cantley in the end. Cantley is undoubtedly the best talent in the field, and his strokes gained stats will tell that same story. Cantlay has a lot of success on shorter than average golf courses, and the three he will get this week fit into that criteria. The American is coming off back-to-back top 10 finishes, and I see that continuing this week, without a doubt.
