Round 2 Recap 🚀

⛳ Friday's Round 2 was all about a teenager and the world's No. 1. Blades Brown, an 18-year-old, fresh out of high school, shot a stunning 12-under 60 at the Nicklaus Tournament Course to tie for the lead with Scottie Scheffler at 17-under. Brown missed a 6-foot birdie putt on his final hole that would have given him a 59. Scheffler matched him at the top with a bogey-free 64, staying flawless through 36 holes. Si Woo Kim, the 2021 champion, fired a 7-under 65 on the tougher Stadium Course to sit one back at 16-under heading into the weekend.

Racking up more wins 💰

The momentum continues. After a strong Round 1, we went 3-0 on Friday with a clean sweep across both The American Express and the Hero Dubai Desert Classic. Taylor Pendrith delivered exactly what we projected, edging out the defending AmEx champion Sepp Straka. The 11-3-2 record (68.8% hit rate) isn't luck; it's finding bets where the sportsbooks misprice talent, form, and course fit.

We're now sitting at +56% ROI through two rounds. The system is working because we're not chasing names, we're identifying mathematical edges where player probabilities don't match the implied odds. Check out our Round 3 pick below ⬇️
