Davis Thompson Looking To Pay Off A Stellar Run Of Ball-Striking
9 months agoThe results haven't quite matched up for young Davis Thompson, but looking strictly at the underlying stats, the former UGA Bulldog seems to be primed for a breakout finish. Thompson ranks inside the top 40 in each of the four strokes gained metrics over his last 50 rounds, and Memorial Park's demanding 7400-yard layout should be a perfect fit for his power game. In 2022, Thompson recorded one of the best driving weeks of his career at the Houston Open (+3.8 Strokes Gained), and with the spring overseed slowing down fairways and rough cut down by 50%, this course should be ripe for Thompson to once again take advantage of his elite length. Recent putting woes have robbed Davis of better results through Florida, but perhaps a change of scenery can allow his potential to shine through once again.
