LEDGER 25: THE ROCKET CLASSIC
STATUS: {VERIFIED} PERFORMANCE AUDIT
Detroit
I. THE THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
The 2026 Rocket Classic at Detroit Golf Club tested Renovated Ross Surface Control and Pin-High Iron Efficiency. Bentgrass/Poa greens running ≥12.5 Stimp rewarded pure-roll putting and precise distance control into the green. Primary factor: Approach-angle precision versus soft-to-firm transition. Secondary: Geometric fat-side positioning and reduced Momentum Apex weighting under the Stability Edition parameters.
II. ASSET PERFORMANCE ATTRIBUTION
ASSET | STRATEGIC ROLE | RESULT | STANDING | YIELD STATUS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Chris Gotterup | Primary Apex | LOSS | CUT (+1) | EDGE FILTER VALIDATED: Thin residual edge correctly limited to 1.5u. Capital liquidated. |
Cameron Young | Stability Anchor | WIN | T8 (–12) | FLOOR DELIVERED: Highest model probability converted. 3.5u @ +108 returned 7.28u. |
J.J. Spaun | Secondary Form Anchor | LOSS | T50 (–4) | FORM GATE CLEARED BUT VARIANCE HIT: Live SG signal failed to convert. 2.5u liquidated. |
Xander Schauffele | Growth Buy | WIN | 2nd (–16) | HIGH-VALUE CASH: True SG profile delivered maximum book return. 2.0u @ +162 returned 5.24u. |
Ben Griffin | Value Spec | LOSS | CUT (–2) | SURFACE REJECTION: Missed cut. 1.5u liquidated. |
III. PORTFOLIO YIELD SUMMARY
Total Capital Risked: 11.0 Units
Total Capital Returned: 12.52 Units
NET WEEK YIELD: +13.8% (+1.52 Units)
IV. INSTITUTIONAL NOTE
Positive week driven by the two Top 10 conversions (Young + Schauffele). The raised edge threshold and reduced Primary Apex sizing correctly limited damage on the three non-cashers. Schauffele’s runner-up finish provided the largest single contribution. Gotterup’s cut validates the decision to keep the outright position small under the Stability Edition filters. Overall process integrity held: Visual Truth Lock, Form Gate, and de-correlation rules were fully enforced.
