Jhonattan Vegas missed his first cut in five starts at the tumultuous Players Championship last week.

Sahith Theegala Still High-Risk, High-Reward

After a poor week at The Players Championship, Sahith Theegala suffered back-to-back missed cuts for the first time this season.

Sahith's volatility across all statistical categories makes him a high-risk, […]

Cam Thomas Listed As Questionable For Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks.

Mayfield […]

Bubba Watson An Innisbrook Enigma

Bubba Watson has finished T13 and T4 in his last two Valspar Championships. Watson's course history is often a better predictor of success than his recent form.
