Venue Name
Pebble Beach Golf Links, Monterey Peninsula, CA. June 13-16, 2019
Course Details
Pebble Beach Golf Links is a public golf course on the West Coast of the United States, located on the Monterey Peninsula, California. Widely regarded as one of the most beautiful courses in the world, it hugs the rugged coastline and has wide open views of Carmel Bay, opening to the Pacific Ocean.
In recent years the USGA has come under criticism that the course set up of the US Open has been bordering on ridiculous and that they are trying to replicate the British Open set-up. It would be great to see the US Open get back to its original high rough and narrow fairways, placing a premium on ball striking. It will be interesting how Pebble Beach plays this year!

In Play Trading Opportunities
- The second hole, if playing as a Par 4 like in 2010, could play as high as 4.50 average. This will be a great trading hole to place a lay bet on the tee and back bet after the hole is completed.
- The fifth hole has played the 5th most difficult hole on the PGA Tour. Use the same trading strategy as listed above.
- The 8th, 9th and 10th Hole has proven over time to be a very tough stretch. This will be my favorite trading strategy for the tournament this year. I will look at wind direction and scoring averages after day 1.
- The 12th and 17th are both difficult par 3’s. In fact in 2010 there was only one birdie in the final round from Tim Clark, and that was a holed bunker shot.
