Ryan Gerard Heads to PGA West With Momentum After Strong Week in Hawaii
It was a close call on Sunday for Ryan Gerard, who ultimately fell two shots shy of the winning score. It was his second consecutive solo second after finishing runner-up on the DP World Tour in December. Ranking 26th last season in strokes gained on approach (+0.457), he lives and dies by his ball-striking ability, which would bode well if he consistently had the other parts of his game in shape. However, things start to get concerning outside the scope of that one particular stat metric, even with the recent showings. The former Tarheel is particularly weak with wedge distances, ranking 164th in proximity from 50-125 yards (20' 5") last season. He also has a real problem making par-5s count, ranking 162nd in birdie-or-better percentage (42.52%). If you were a beneficiary of his great run over his last two events, now may be the time to jump off the train.
