## Resource

In this episode of Inside Golf Podcast, Andy previews the 2026 Houston Open at Memorial Park for betting and DFS, recapping a tough Valspar week and plugging a recent Course Vault podcast. He breaks down how the Tom Doak redesign has evolved—low rough penalties, increased driver usage, and an easier short game—creating a more “Augusta-like” setup since the move to March. He outlines the key stats to target (distance, long-iron play, short game, and putting), discusses expected scoring, and highlights early model standouts led by Scottie Scheffler and Min Woo Lee. He also notes the low course-history correlation and explains why Memorial Park could be a strong bounce-back spot for Scheffler heading into the Masters.
