Adam Hadwin Chance to Win in Bermuda This Weekend

Adam Hadwin has improved in every tournament this Fall. That culminated with a tied for sixth at The Shriner's. Hadwin shot in the 60's every round for four consecutive days.

Brian Gay Not Recommended At Bermuda This Weekend

Brian Gay missed a cut then had to withdraw from The Shriner's. It has not been a Fall to remember so far. The one good thing is Gay does not have to drive the ball far here. However, he does have to avoid some traps. The American golfer at least is healthy unlike a couple […]

Seamus Power Has A Chance To Do Well At Bermuda

Seamus Power shot all four rounds in the 60's last tournament out at the Shriner's. He only finished tied for 21st but the Irish golfer was consistent the entire four rounds. That consistency will serve him well on the shorter Bermuda course. The Port Royal again is just 6,800 yards so no mammoth drives are […]

Christiaan Bezuidenhout One To Avoid At Bermuda

The last time most people saw Christiaan Bezuidenhout golf was at the Olympics almost three months ago. He finished in a tie for 16th then. Now, the South African heads to Bermuda to work on his swing, putting, and all that competitive rush. Rust has to factor in. Even though his European record was okay […]

Mito Pereira Could Contend At Bermuda This Weekend

Mito Pereira has a chance at this weekend's tournament in Bermuda. The Butterfield Bermuda Championship offers the Chilean golfer shorter yardage which should help.

Patrick Reed Off To Slow Start Heading To Bermuda

Patrick Reed's first two tournaments this Fall have not gone so well. He missed the cut at The Shriner's then followed up with a T-68th at The CJ Cup. He made the cut but then shot a 73-71 which kept him outside the top-50. Reed's form has been erratic along with his shots and ranks […]

Matthew Fitzpatrick To Shake Off Rust In Bermuda

Matthew Fitzpatrick has not golfed in North America for over two months. That changes this weekend as Fitzpatrick competes at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship. The 6,800-yard course will not hurt those who do not have much length. Fitzpatrick averages 293.5 yards with his driver. That being said, it is that rust that should concern most […]

Reilly Smith Leads Vegas In Shots On Goal In Loss
