Luke Clanton Looks to Build on Momentum This Week in Utah
After a slow beginning to his professional career, Luke Clanton has the opportunity to "get his feet wet," now almost five months since leaving the amateur world. He'll get more reps against the weaker side of what the PGA Tour has to offer, though, nonetheless hungry and desperate. The former Seminole gets his next chance this week in Utah, which is seeing its second event after Matt McCarty won last year at -23 under par. Black Desert is a resort course after all, and thus plays forgiving off the tee and into most greens. The flat stick is what yields the highest return. Last year, 55% of the guys that finished top 20 in strokes gained putting finished T11 or better. This has been Clanton's leaky wheel since leaving college, as he's only gained strokes on the greens twice in nine starts. The time he pops off won't surprise anyone, but thinking he'll do it at a course that diminishes his strengths and magnifies his gigantic weakness seems unlikely.
