Corey Connors Provides Solid Value on the TPC Southwind Course

Corey Connors should be able to make enough putts based on his ability to drive the ball accurately and get on the greens without much trouble. He ranks 11th in both categories. The only issue Connors may have is right around the green where he loses .091 strokes gained. At the Olympics last week, the […]

Matthew Wolff May Struggle at Memphis This Week

Matthew Wolff can hit the ball 310-plus yards with regularity but his driving accuracy is just 49.85% on the tour which is not even in the top-200.

Victor Hovland Will Be One To Watch at Memphis

Victor Hovland sneaked into the top-15 during the Olympics with barely a peep. His final round 64 showed kind of what could have been.

Matthew Fitzpatrick Must Be Accurate to Contend at Memphis

For Matthew Fitzpatrick to be a good investment this week, he cannot miss greens at all.

The golfer from England often gets himself in trouble when he tries to hit irons. […]

Justin Rose Carries High Risk Heading to TPC Southwind

Justin Rose finished outside the top-30 in his last two tournaments after missing the cut at the US Open. One of the keys to finishing high at Memphis is the ability to hit small greens and putt well enough.

Tony Finau Needs His Putter To Contend at Memphis

Tony Finau tuned up at the 3M Open last week and finished in the top-30 (28th) for a second week in a row. He did miss some putts and was part of the reason that he again did not contend. With a top field for this week's WGC, can Finau raise his game? TPC Southwind […]
