Bud Cauley Hoping Last Week's Win Can Aid Him at Shinnecock
It was a long and painful journey for Bud Cauley before capturing his first career PGA Tour victory last week in Canada. It was likely the 36-year-old's best putting performance of his life, averaging 1.69 strokes gained on the greens of TPC Toronto. The vibes couldn't be higher heading into the year's third major, as his ball striking has been great even before last week. Over his last seven starts, Cauley is averaging 0.634 strokes gained on approach and 0.502 off the tee. If the putting and chipping continue to cooperate, he could surprise us. It's not uncommon to see someone as patient as the former Crimson Tide golfer has been go on to win a few more times once the lid is taken off. It may be far-fetched to think he's ready to win a U.S. Open, but believing in his ability to be a DFS asset this week is not.
