Rules
If Alex Smalley finishes in the top 5 (including ties) in the 1st Round of the 2026 Valero Texas Open, then the market resolves to Yes.
Confidence: high
Model: claude-sonnet-4-6
Screened: 2026-04-03T08:12:41Z
Reasoning: Leading after Round 1 means having the lowest score, which places the player at position 1 — necessarily within the top 5. The reverse does not hold — top 5 in R1 does not mean outright leader.
Strategy: Buy NO on antecedent + YES on consequent
