Shea Theodore Scores A Goal Tuesday
Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Shea Theodore scored a goal on Tuesday night. The 4-2 home loss unfortunately was marred when Theodore took a non-contact spill hard into the boards. He immediately went head-first and seemed to smack his head rather significantly. There was no update available on the defenseman after the game. It was just […]

Jason Day Not Worth The Risk At The RSM Classic
Jason Day can make a ton of birdies, but can he avoid trouble on the island courses this weekend? That is a huge question mark. Day is averaging 4.5 birdies per round and probably can make more. However, his accuracy on greens and fairways are both outside the top 150. That is not going to […]

Russell Henley One To Watch At The RSM Classic
Russell Henley had that awful third round at the Mayakoba but largely has had a good Fall Tour. That culminated in a tied for seventh last week in Houston. If he had made a few more putts coming in to the back 9 on Sunday, Henley might have had a shot at winning. The key […]

Brian Harman Not Recommended At The RSM Classic
Brian Harman has been largely disappointing on the tour this fall. He has missed the cut in two tournaments and still finished outside the top 50 in two others. Sure, Harman can shoot amazing rounds at any time. However, the two weekends he made the cut, the American was very ordinary and shot at or […]

Matt Kuchar Could Approach Top 20 At The RSM Classic
Matt Kuchar has been gradually improving every week on the Fall Tour. He has finished in the top 40 for all three tournaments so far. That culminated in a tied for 22nd at the Mayakoba a couple of weeks ago. The key for Kuchar was his consistency. He shot all four rounds in the 60's […]

Charles Howell III Needs To Make More Birdies At RSM Classic
Charles Howell III has had some interesting issues on the golf course this Fall season. The 75 at the Shriner's was one thing but the 69-70 at Mayakoba amplified his issues with making enough putts. Consider that at the RSM Classic, the lowest score under par since 2015 was -17. Howell III is making just […]

Chris Kirk May Have Some Upside At The RSM Classic
Chris Kirk has had some issues the past two tournaments on the weekends. It is not where he shoots very poorly but just not well. The ZOZO Championship saw him shoot a 70-71-74 and then a 73-70-71 at the Mayakoba. The first round is not the problem for Kirk but accuracy has become troublesome increasingly […]

Justin Rose May Hang Around A Bit At The RSM Classic
Justin Rose has played OK in the past few weeks, but OK is just not good enough. Finishing outside the top 30 and just missing a bunch of putts is less than optimal. Expect more of the same to continue at The RSM Classic. The problem is Rose just cannot string enough holes together to […]

Adam Scott Could Bounce Back At The RSM Classic
Adam Scott started off great in Round 1 last week at Houston. He shot a 68 and everything looked great. Then, after a 73-71-73, it all just fell apart. He dropped all the way outside the top-50 (tied for 54th). This week, Scott will try to bounce back at The RSM Classic. Basically, Scott must […]

Scottie Scheffler Could Contend Again At The RSM Classic
Scottie Scheffler has been excellent on the golf course the past two weeks. He nearly won two tournaments. Instead, Scheffler settle for a top-5 at the Mayakoba and then a tied for second in Houston. The RSM Classic takes place on St. Simons Island in Georgia this weekend. Since his 74 during the opening round […]

Mathew Barzal Tallies Goal Early In Loss To Tampa Bay
New York Islanders center Mathew Barzal had the lone highlight for the Islanders on Monday night. He scored on a breakaway just less than three minutes into the contest.
