Si Woo Kim's Guessing Game Continues At BMW Championship

Si Woo Kim missed the cut last week after nearly winning the Wyndham Championship the week before. There was a string of outside the top-30 finishes before that. The common theme is the negative strokes gained putting (-0.166) overall. This week looks to be no better at Caves Valley where putting can be an adventure. […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. Leads Team In Targets

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. led the team in targets in Monday night's preseason contest against the Saints. Shenault racked up five catches and 36 yards on seven targets in just the first half, and all of the production came with Trevor Lawrence under center. Shenault has been the star of the team's […]

Russell Henley Could Be An Upside Surprise

Russell Henley forgot how to play the Jersey City golf course last week. In Rounds 1 and 4, he looked every bit a contender. So, how does that even translate for this week? If he starts well, do not expect the same mistakes again. Four birdies over the final seven holes showed that potential. If […]

Sam Burns Worth A Gamble At BMW Championship

Monday was not great for Sam Burns, but it was a challenging time when the course began to get warm and muggy. Finishing the last 10 holes at plus-four was rough, as Burns missed greens with increasing frequency. Expect less of that at Caves Valley, as the American will likely bounce back. He always tends […]

Marvin Jones Jr. Racks Up 41 Receiving Yards

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. racked up four catches for 41 yards in Monday's preseason loss to the Saints. Jones played alongside Trevor Lawrence in the first half and the reported chemistry between the two was on full display. When Lawrence was under pressure he often looked Jones' way, which matches up with […]

Cameron Tringale's Final-Round Issues May Be A Problem

Cameron Tringale had another wild final round last week, but this time it was on a Monday. The American golfer had just nine pars and five bogeys. He did make four birdies, but there were just too many mistakes during a final round. That made three straight final rounds where Tringale just could not mount […]

Jason Kokrak's Putter Could Hurt Him At BMW Championship

Jason Kokrak just could not make shots, particularly with his putter, when it counted at The Northern Trust. It was the second week in a row where he missed the cut. Last week, it was holes 10 and 11 in Round 2 that proved to be his downfall. He double-bogeyed each one. Kokrak never truly […]

Carlos Hyde's Stock On The Rise

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Carlos Hyde could have a bigger role this season with rookie Travis Etienne (foot) suffering an unfortunate season-ending injury. On Monday night against the Saints, Etienne was diagnosed with a significant mid-foot tear. He will be sidelined for a minimum of 12 weeks, if not the entire 2021 season, per Ian Rapoport. […]

Brian Harman's Weekend Bodes Poorly For BMW Championship

With the quality in play being high last week, Brian Harman wilted over the weekend. He shot a 76-73. Harman was never a factor at all when on Friday, things looked promising. The American was making putts and even adapting to the course. Saturday saw everything fall apart. Sunday was not much better. That triple-bogey […]

Trevor Lawrence Throws For 113 Yards

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence went 14-for-23 with 113 yards in Monday night's preseason game against the Saints. Lawrence played the whole first half and was under pressure for much of the game, but he managed to avoid mistakes in an up and down performance. The Jaguars were missing three starting offensive linemen in […]

Phil Mickelson Not A Good Play For BMW Championship

Other than the FedEx-WGC, Phil Mickelson has looked every bit of his age on the golf course lately. He has missed cuts and has three finishes outside the top 60. That is nowhere near good enough, and this Maryland golf course can be difficult. Fast putting conditions may be fatal for the lefty. Mickelson ranks […]

Lee Westwood Still A Final-Round Risk At BMW Championship

Lee Westwood had a pretty solid 54 holes at The Northern Trust. Then Sunday came, and again the game showed signs of cracks. Before anyone knew it, Westwood was out of contention again. The result was okay but a tied for 27th could have easily been a top 10 or 15 with a few more […]

Travis d'Arnaud Reinstated From Paternity List

The Atlanta Braves reinstated catcher Travis d'Arnaud from the paternity list on Tuesday. Fellow catcher William Contreras was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move. d'Arnaud landed on the paternity list on Saturday and wound up missing three games. The 32-year-old missed about three months due to a torn thumb ligament before finally returning […]

Sergio Garcia May Struggle Again At BMW Championship

Sergio Garcia's game unraveled in Round 1 last week at The Northern Trust. As a result, he did not see the weekend. That 75 included a bunch of errant shots and a lack of ability to hit any greens. By the time, Garcia's putter warmed back up, it was time for the Spanish golfer to […]

Hideki Matsuyama Could Be Rough Play At BMW Championship

With the tight and fast greens, Hideki Matsuyama could have issues this week at the BMW Championship. Remember, the golfers do not have to worry about a cut. One plays the entire 72 holes to determine the top 30 heading into next week's finale. Again, Matsuyama's game just relies so much on him being set […]

Louis Oosthuizen Could Contend At BMW Championship

It is time to see if Louis Oosthuizen's gamble pays off. He took last week off to rest after a grueling schedule. Will it pay off for the South African golfer? Oosthuizen hinted the 74 at St. Jude was a product of playing too much high-end golf in too short of a stretch. Whatever the […]

Julian Merryweather Continues Rehab Assignment

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Julian Merryweather (oblique) suffered a setback in his recovery after his outing in the Florida Complex League on August 18. He was dealing with what was described as general soreness after the outing. Fortunately, he has progressed forward from the setback. He continued his rehab assignment on Tuesday, pitching a […]

Travis Etienne Jr. To Have Surgery, Done For The 2021 Season

Jacksonville Jaguars first-round running back Travis Etienne (foot) will undergo surgery to fix a significant Lisfranc tear in his foot and will miss the entire 2021 season as a result, according to sources. Etienne suffered the foot injury in the preseason game against the New Orleans Saints on Monday night. This one really hurts if […]

Paul Casey A Risky Play This Week At BMW Championship

Paul Casey's putter and irons went south in a bad way at The Northern Trust. The 73 on Monday was a microcosm of anything and everything which could go wrong. Putts were missed, shots went errant, and Casey just looked out of it. The body language went south quickly. Fortunately, there is another week for […]

Daniel Berger Could Be An Upside Option

Daniel Berger's downfall at The Northern Trust was the length of some holes and a few extra missed putts. The rain slowed the greens down and maybe that was too much for Berger. However, too many short-distance putts just did not fall. For someone that ranked 15th in birdies per round, it was very unusual […]

Harold Ramirez, Bobby Bradley To Begin Rehab Assignments

Cleveland Indians outfielder Harold Ramirez (knee) and first baseman Bobby Bradley (knee) are both slated to begin rehab assignments at High-A Lake County on Tuesday. Both players are currently dealing with knee injuries. Bradley has been out since August 6 while Ramirez has been sidelined since August 11. Neither player is a must-roster player in […]

Eric Haase To Begin Rehab Assignment On Tuesday

Detroit Tigers outfielder/catcher Eric Haase (abdomen) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday. He will be playing catcher in the game with Matthew Boyd (triceps) on the mound. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that Haase is "doing quite well" in his rehabilitation. Haase has been sidelined since August 16 due to a […]

Patrick Cantlay Can Contend At BMW If He Makes More Putts

Patrick Cantlay bounced back over the weekend at the rain-soaked Northern Trust with a 69-68. Shooting all four rounds in the 60's would normally be good enough for a top-ten finish. He ended up tied for 11th. Honestly, it was his best performance since The Memorial in May which Cantlay won at -13. Again, from […]

Dax Milne Continues To Impress

Washington Football Team wide receiver Dax Milne is continuing to make a strong impression as he battles to crack the team's final roster. Head coach Ron Rivera has praised the rookie for his work ethic and competitiveness while mentioning that he loves the way the 22-year-old plays the game of football. This could indicate he […]

Sammy Long Confirmed As Tuesday's Starter

The San Francisco Giants officially named Sammy Long the team's starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the New York Mets. He will be filling in for Anthony DeSclafani (ankle), who was placed on the injured list over the weekend. The 26-year-old Long was recalled from Triple-A this past weekend. The lefty has made eight appearances […]

Trevor Rogers To Make Rehab Start On Tuesday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Trevor Rogers will start two games at Low-A Jupiter this week. His first start will come on Tuesday and his second start will be later in the week. Rogers has been on the bereavement list since the end of July while attending to family matters. The 23-year-old southpaw has had a […]

Matt Chapman Back In The Lineup On Tuesday

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman (foot) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Chris Flexen and the Seattle Mariners. Chapman was a late scratch from Monday's lineup as he was dealing with a left foot contusion. Josh Harrison shifted over to third base for the game. Chapman has had a rough […]
