AI Intelligence Analysis

LEANRED ZONE0.5% WR (n=380)
Hoey has negative skill differential (-0.2 SG) but modest course fit advantage (-0.049 SG is actually slightly negative). 10.6% edge on even money (+100) is derived from minimal factors. Skip unless odds improve significantly.

Key Factors

  • SG Total: Hoey +0.195 (modest skill)
  • Course fit: Hoey -0.049 SG (actually NEGATIVE fit)
  • Expected finish: Hoey 90 vs Greyserman 82+ (8-place gap but EF spread is deceptive)
  • Odds: +100 (implied 50.0% vs model 55.3% = +5.3% edge)
  • Skill differential: -0.200 (Hoey is worse)

Risk Factors

  • CRITICAL: Hoey has NEGATIVE course fit at TPC Craig Ranch (-0.049 SG). He does NOT fit this course.
  • Hoey has a negative skill differential vs Greyserman (-0.2 SG). This is backwards.
  • 10.6% edge appears to be noise from expected finish gap, not real skill advantage
Sharp MoneyAgainst ModelEven-money odds on a 55% true probability is fair value, but the edge is entirely suspect given negative course fit and skill differential.
