Right now
Advantages Why Bezuidenhout can finish ahead
- Bezuidenhout and Kim rate almost level (within 0.1 strokes a round over the last two years); Bezuidenhout gets the nod because he finishes ahead in slightly more of our simulations.
- Bezuidenhout is the steadier player (round-to-round spread 2.4 strokes against Kim's 2.8), so fewer blow-up rounds.
- Bezuidenhout makes the cut in 81% of our simulations, Kim in 77%. If only one of them plays the weekend, he wins the matchup.
Disadvantages Why Bezuidenhout may not
- Kim is in form: his recent rounds average 0.3 strokes better than his rating.
- Head to head: Kim finished ahead in 3 of their last 5 tournaments together (a fact, not part of our numbers).
- Recent results: 3 top-10 finishes in Kim's last 8 starts, 0 for Bezuidenhout.
- Golf is the most random sport we cover: one round of 75 can undo a whole week. At 51%, Bezuidenhout still loses this matchup about 4 times in 10.
- About 5% of our simulations end level after 72 holes: a tie, which sportsbooks void (a push) for a two-way matchup.

Course history is shown for interest only: it didn't improve the backtest, so it doesn't move our numbers.
