J.J. Spaun Needs the Putter to Cooperate in San Antonio
J.J. Spaun's struggles have continued to start the year, recording four missed cuts and just one finish inside the top 40 through seven events. He looks to find some sort of turnaround at the Valero Texas Open, where he won in 2022 and has one other top-25 finish in seven appearances. It's no surprise that Spaun has struggled with the putter, ranking 159th on tour and losing -0.875 strokes per round. Outside of that, he has been solid, ranking 38th on approach (+0.355), 37th in total driving, and 51st tee to green (+0.424). He also ranks in the 87th percentile in proximity from 150-200 yards, a distance that accounted for 36.5% of approach shots here last year. His only top-25 finish this season came during his only positive week on the greens, and his results in San Antonio follow a similar pattern. If Spaun can produce even a neutral week with the putter, he could find himself in contention at a familiar course once again.
