It was a mixed-bag effort from our golfers on Saturday. The third round head-to-head play of the day, featuring Kevin Streelman over Nick Taylor, was not to be after the American missed multiple five-foot (or shorter) putts on the back nine en route to a one-shot loss.
The wager had a chance until the final hole, when Streelman was faced with a putt just outside 13 feet for birdie and Taylor had a seven-foot par save. However, as was the case throughout the day, Streelman came up inches short and his Canadian opponent found the bottom of the cup. My model projected us to have a 0.57-shot edge in expected performance when I took into account my baseline totals and mixed them with the actual strokes gained outcomes that were delivered in round three, so we will chalk it up to us landing on the wrong side of variance.
