Justin Thomas Needs Ball-Striking Consistency at TPC River Highlands
With a T17 finish last week at the US Open, Justin Thomas has now recorded six consecutive top-25 finishes. It's been a consistent run for the 33-year-old due to an awesome short game and getting hot with the putter, at times, making this week at TPC River Highlands a salivating opportunity. He has been one […]
Scottie Scheffler The Easy Favorite at Travelers Championship
If the entire season hasn't proven that Scottie Scheffler is ready to win again, this week has the chance to bring it to fruition. He's coming off his fifth top-5 in his last seven starts, and needs a few more putts to fall to get him over the line. Though it's still a little strange […]
Collin Morikawa is a Smash Play at TPC River Highlands
It was another quality major championship showing for Collin Morikawa this past week at Shinnecock, where he finished T17. The 29-year-old was never a real factor over the weekend after a second round, 65, had him one stroke behind a group of players tied for second place. He shot +5 over rounds three and four, […]
Ben James Continues Hot PGA Tour Beginning at Travelers Championship
It's been a fast start for Ben James, who has played two events in his young professional career thus far, and his presence has been felt at both. He held the 36-hole lead in Canada before a third round, 78, effectively ended his chances. He bounced back last week at Shinnecock for a T23 finish. […]
Tommy Fleetwood Should Thrive This Week at TPC River Highlands
The solid run of play continued for Tommy Fleetwood last week, as he finished T11 at the US Open. Nothing statistically popped for him, though, as he ranked in the top 20 in nearly every strokes gained category, but nothing higher than 13th (Strokes gained around the green: 0.61). His next start comes this Thursday […]
Wyndham Clark Coming Off Redeeming US Open Victory
It was a special week for Wyndham Clark, who completed a wire-to-wire victory at the 126th US Open on Sunday to claim his second career major and US Open title. Before he can take some time to celebrate, he is making the trip to Connecticut this week for the Travelers Championship. It will be his […]
Bud Cauley Needs Good Putting to Succeed at TPC River Highlands
Bud Cauley followed up his win in Canada with a T56 finish last week at the US Open. He still maintained a quality level of ball striking form, but uncharacteristically lost over four strokes on the greens. The 36-year-old is in the field this week for the Travelers Championship, the last Signature Event of the […]
Sam Burns Looks to Shake Off US Open Letdown at Travelers Championship
It was another close call at a US Open title for Sam Burns, who was the only player to make a real charge on Sunday at Shinnecock when he birdied four of his opening eight holes. He stumbled late with a bogey on 15 and missed another opportunity on 17 that would have landed him […]
Horse For The Course: Travelers Championship
It was as diabolical a week as expected at Shinnecock for the 126th US Open, as one of the game's relic properties spared no one from its unforgiving nature. Only three players were able to finish the week in red figures, even as the forecast brought scoring conditions in certain parts of the days that […]

Rory McIlroy Eying a Second US Open Victory This Week at Shinnecock
Following his defense at the Masters, Rory McIlroy hasn't played a whole lot of golf. However, he's been just as dominant in the three starts since, with finishes of T19, T7, and T12. No matter the limited number of competitive reps, he is still able to rank highly among his peers in strokes gained off […]
Russell Henley is an Interesting Option at This Year's US Open
Coming off a T22 at Muirfield Village following his win at Colonial, Russell Henley comes to Shinnecock Hills this week with a head full of steam. With a T25 finish here in the 2018 US Open, he'll be looking to find his way to the top by doing what he does best: avoiding mistakes. Nothing […]
Cameron Young Hopes to Reclaim His Stride at US Open
After the raucous start to the year for Cameron Young, things have quieted down over his last two starts, finishing T26 and T46 at the PGA Championship and the Memorial. The ball striking both off the tee and on approach is as solid as ever, but his short game, which climaxed at Doral, has lost […]
Jordan Spieth Searching For Anything to Get Through The Week at Shinnecock
It has been a dreadfully boring year for Jordan Spieth, who is coming off a missed cut at the Memorial Tournament, having lost over three strokes on approach in the first two rounds. Every part of his game has performed well in various spots, but nothing has come together all at once. The best thing […]
Xander Schauffele is One Parameter Shy of Being a Must-Play at US Open
Despite his solid finishes this season, Xander Schauffele has still not returned to the dominant form we saw a couple of years ago. However, he's been electric in the biggest events this season, with top 10s in both majors and a season-high finish of T3 at The Players. His ball-striking is still some of the […]
Patrick Reed is a Fun Option This Week at Shinnecock
With his exit from LIV Golf, we've only seen Patrick Reed play in the first two majors over the last two-and-a-half months, which saw him hanging around the lead in both. He's back this week for the US Open at Shinnecock Hills, where he finished fourth in 2018. With such little data to work off […]
Collin Morikawa Still Looking for Ball-Striking at U.S. Open
Despite playing in five events since the back injury that took him out at The Players, Collin Morikawa hasn't reclaimed the magic he had before. The ball striking has been measly of late compared to what he was doing earlier in the year before the lumbar region became an issue. He isn't giving up strokes […]
Hideki Matsuyama Searching For Answers at US Open
There has been little to be excited about for Hideki Matsuyama as of late, coming off a T43 finish at Muirfield a couple weeks ago. The driver has abandoned him, as he's struggled to find fairways this season and isn't the longest player by any accounts. This deficiency there has also possibly creeped into the […]
Brooks Koepka Battling Injury at US Open
Things looked promising for Brooks Koepka last week in Canada before a hand injury cropped up during the third round. He would go on to shoot 72 and withdraw before the final round. It's more detrimental given the timing of right before he looks to defend his 2018 US Open victory at this week's Shinnecock […]
Tommy Fleetwood is a Wonderful Option This Week at Shinnecock Hills
Tommy Fleetwood is coming off a T11 finish last week in Canada after failing to get anything going on Sunday and falling from his T3 position he began the day at. He is teeing it up at Shinnecock this week, where he finished runner-up in 2018. Everything seems to be firing on all cylinders, despite […]
Bud Cauley Hoping Last Week's Win Can Aid Him at Shinnecock
It was a long and painful journey for Bud Cauley before capturing his first career PGA Tour victory last week in Canada. It was likely the 36-year-old's best putting performance of his life, averaging 1.69 strokes gained on the greens of TPC Toronto. The vibes couldn't be higher heading into the year's third major, as […]

Aaron Rai Continues Breakout Season at RBC Canadian Open
It was a commendable showing last week at the Memorial Tournament for Aaron Rai following his victory at the PGA Championship. The 31-year-old finished T19 at Muirfield Village, ranking 12th in strokes gained on approach (0.93) and 15th from tee to green (1.49). This level of ball striking always gives him the chance to be […]
Keith Mitchell Looks to Bounce Back at TPC Toronto
Keith Mitchell is coming off a missed cut at the Charles Schwab Challenge after finishing fifth at the Byron Nelson the week before. The difference was in the putting and short game, as he lost over four strokes on and around the greens at Colonial Country Club. He's making his second appearance at the RBC […]
Robert McIntyre Difficult to Trust at RBC Canadian Open
It's been a rough few months for Robert McIntyre out on the professional golf trail. Since his close call at the Valero Texas Open in April, he has failed to finish inside the top 40 in any start, with three missed cuts along the way. The iron play has fallen apart, as he's averaging -1.06 […]
Brooks Koepka Looks to Compete at RBC Canadian Open
Coming off a T14 finish in Texas a few weeks ago at TPC Craig Ranch, Brooks Koepka is inching ever closer to reaching the top 50 in the FedEx Cup standings. He's been one of the sharpest iron players this season, ranking fourth on the season in strokes gained on approach (0.754). Putting has been […]
Viktor Hovland is Back Inside The Ropes for RBC Canadian Open
It was strange not to have Viktor Hovland in the field at Muirfield Village, where he won in 2023. The 28-year-old has been bothered by a nagging neck injury all season, which is presumably why he decided to skip ahead to this week in Canada. He'll be making his first start since missing the cut […]
Alex Fitzpatrick Becoming a DFS Darling Ahead of RBC Canadian Open
It's been nice riding the wave of success that Alex Fitzpatrick has experienced over the last two months from a DFS perspective. A guy who many feel got an assisted tour card because of his win at a team event, but is steadily proving the doubters wrong with every start. The 27-year-old has three top […]
Wyndham Clark Looks to Continue Hot Streak at RBC Canadian Open
For much of the week at Muirfield, it looked like Wyndham Clark was on his way to winning back-to-back starts. It wasn't to be, as he fell one shot shy of the eventual playoff at -12 under. He led the field in strokes gained on approach (2.24) and ranked fourth around the green (1.28). If […]
Sam Burns is a DFS Must-Have at RBC Canadian Open
It was an extremely close call for Sam Burns on Sunday at the Memorial Tournament, as he shared the lead with a couple of holes to go before losing by two and finishing T4. There is little to be unhappy about, though, considering it was the most complete week of the season from a statistics […]
