Gary Woodland Brings Boom-or-Bust Potential to Memorial
Gary Woodland bounced back nicely from a missed cut at the PGA Championship, recording a T6 at the Charles Schwab Challenge after gaining over 7.1 strokes putting. He looks to continue that momentum at the Memorial Tournament, where he has recorded two missed cuts and two top-25 finishes in his last four outings. Woodland currently sits 37th tee to green (+0.455), 60th on approach (+0.216), but sits 154th around the green, losing -0.390 strokes per round, all key areas this week. He continues to be one of the longest hitters on tour, ranking third in driving distance, but he could find some trouble on a layout that rewards playing from the short grass. Woodland sits just 104th in driving accuracy, but he can make up for it with his long-iron play, where he is 39th in proximity from over 200 yards, a range that accounted for over 33% of approach shots here last year. He will need to sharpen up his wedges, but at $7,300 on DraftKings, he is worth a flier in DFS lineups.
