Aaron Rai Looking For Putting Confidence at Waialae Country Club
It was a great year for Aaron Rai, even if the finishes are a bit high compared to the exceptional ranking in ball striking stats. He was the second-most accurate driver of the golf ball of anyone on tour last season (73.85%) and was 18th in greens in regulation (70.52%). That culminated in ranking inside the top 25 in both strokes gained off the tee and on approach metrics. Putting was/is a large detriment to his limited upside. He also isn't a very long hitter, which also doesn't bode well for keeping pace at some venues. However, a spot like Waialae isn't the most demanding he'll see this season, and the accuracy is clearly there. Rai is by no means a must-play this week, but there are certainly worse options.
