Brendan Todd May Not Cut it at Wyndham Championships

Brendan Todd can be a frustrating golfer and lately that could not be more true. He has missed the cut in three straight tournaments and four of the last five. That bodes poorly for this week's Wyndham Championships. Again, this boils down to making birdies and Todd is just having an immense struggle there. It […]

Matthew Wolff May Have Shot at Greensboro

Can Matthew Wolff put four rounds together on a course that he can drive well and make putts? That is the question at the Wyndham Championships this week. Wolff put together a nice final-round 67 at the FedEx WGC. This was a marked improvement over his final rounds the previous two weeks at the Rocket […]

Rickie Fowler Carries Elevated Risk Heading into Wyndham Championship

Rickie Fowler is another one of those golfers that have had a wild summer ride between COVID and some inconsistent play. He has finished outside the top-30 in his last three tournaments entered.

Hideki Matsuyama Expects to Contend Again at Wyndham

Hideki Matsuyama rode his fourth-place Olympic finish into an even better second-place result at the FedEx WGC last week. His 64-63 weekend might have won most weekends if not for a slightly pedestrian start. The birdies started dropping and the Japanese golfer kept rising up the leaderboard. His putting, normally a weak point (181st overall), […]

Justin Rose Not Recommended for Wyndham Championship

It was thought that the Justin Rose 73 at The Open was bad enough but the final round 75 at the FedEx WGC was actually worse. Rose could not hit fairways, make putts, or do much of anything right. When a golfer bogeys the first two holes the way the Englishman did, it had the […]

Carter Hart and the Philadelphia Flyers were both willing to put last year behind them as they agreed to a three-year contract on Monday. The contract pays Hart $3.979 million AAV. It is no secret that both parties had a 2020-21 to forget but believe that was a blip as opposed to a trend. In […]

Yoan Moncada Goes Yard In Victory

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada went 2-for-5 with two runs and a solo home run in Monday's blowout victory versus the Minnesota Twins.
