Tony Finau Will Be Tested This Weekend At Memorial

Tony Finau can get to the weekend but can he finally perform consistently on Saturday and Sunday? That driving accuracy is a pesky detriment along with his putter sometimes. However, few get to the green as consistent as Finau does (23rd on tour). The golfer is one of the very select that have made all […]

Adam Scott Off His Game At Bad Time For Memorial

This could be another rough week for Adam Scott as some term The Memorial as a "fifth major". Scott missed the cut at the PGA and has not really contended much of anywhere in 2021 (best finish -- 10th). He drives the ball well enough at 308.3 yards (17th) but so many parts of his […]

Patrick Reed In For Challenging Week At The Memorial

Can Patrick Reed overcome his driver on a long course? His driving average is just over 290 yards but the rest of his game makes him dangerous in Ohio come the weekend. His strokes gained from putting is .923 (4th on tour). The biggest concern is Reed getting the ball on the green (172nd) but […]

Bryson DeChambeau Has Length And Game To Win At Memorial

Bryson DeChambeau drives the golf ball the best on tour at 322 yards. On a 7500+ yard course, that helps. He just has to keep the ball in the fairway. His accuracy is just 54.63% (172nd) but again that greens-in-regulation ranks better at 65th. DeChambeau leads the tour in overall strokes gained (2.105) and even […]

Rory McIlroy Expected To Contend At Memorial

Rory McIlroy has some question marks heading into this week's Memorial. He can drive the ball like almost no one (2nd -- 319 yards). The problem is that 55% accuracy (168th). Strokes gained tee-to-green is where McIlroy excels (13th) but his putting is just 82nd on the tour. It boils down to the putter this […]

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford was elevated to the leadoff spot for Tuesday's contest against the Oakland Athletics, and he came through, going 2-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored.
