Collin Morikawa Looking to Change Recent Trends at Memorial Tournament
Source: Data Golf
Since the Masters, Collin Morikawa has struggled to keep things steady over his last four starts. A leaky short game was beginning to rear its head in Georgia, but after averaging -0.216 in strokes gained around the green over his last five starts, it's clearly the most concerning part ahead of a difficult test at Jack's place. He wasn't sharp at the PGA Championship in the ball-striking department, but the asks at Muirfield are much different than the ones for Quail Hollow. While he's never won this particular event in five career starts despite two runner-up finishes, he did win the Workday Charity Open here in 2020 against a slightly weaker field than the one on property this week. While the concerns are still hanging around for the two-time major champion, he makes for an excellent pick at a course tailor-made for his style of play.Cam Davis Misses The Cut at Charles Schwab Challenge

Source: PGATour.com
Max Greyserman was a few birdies away from contending the past couple of events. The golfer who grew up in New Jersey finished a solid T-33 even after a 74 at Sunday's PGA Championship. Greyserman will have to keep his drives a little straighter. He ranks 153rd in driving accuracy at 53.63%. Part of the reason his scoring average is 70.61 is his scrambling which is 159th at a mere 55.79%. He is 20th in birdies made per round at 4.25. The key for Greyserman really is keeping the ball on the fairway. That sets up the golfer whose putting average is 1.705 (9th). Getting back to birdies is vital for Greyserman. Lucas Glover Wants to Put PGA Championship Behind Him

Lucas Glover was close to a top-20 result when Sunday struck at the PGA Championship. The American golfer struggled to a 75, which dropped him to a T37. Since back-to-back top-10 results in March, Glover has endured a rough patch. Things tend to boil down to putting for Glover. He ranks 121st in strokes gained in putting. The 45-year-old does not hit the ball as far as he used to, either, averaging 290.9 yards a drive. It will be intriguing to see if Glover can find a little extra length in Fort Worth this week. Glover is plus-6,000 to win on DraftKings, which surprises some given the golf course, but he did finish T12 at the Charles Schwab in 2024.Jhonattan Vegas on a Roll Heading To Texas

Jhonattan Vegas has looked great in back-to-back weeks. The golfer from Venezuela finished T-5 last week at the PGA Championship behind a scintillating 64. He held on in what was a challenging weekend to finish 73-72. Plenty of golfers went backwards in the challenging conditions and pin placements. However, Vegas held firm enough. Combine that with the T-13 at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson and Vegas is now +350 to finish Top 20 on DraftKings. The putter gained a few strokes last Thursday and Friday at the PGA and if Vegas can keep drives on the fairway (55.41% - 136th), then contention is possible. Vegas is streaky so volatility is always there. Erik van Rooyen a Coin Flip at Charles Schwab
Source: PGATour.com
Erik van Rooyen has appeared in 14 tournaments in 2025. The South African golfer has made the cut seven times and missed seven as well. Now, van Rooyen does have a runner-up finish (CJ Cup Byron Nelson). He even finished T-9 at the Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches in March. Consistency is fleeting for van Rooyen. However, he is intriguing because he drives the ball well and typically somewhat straight. His average drive is 307.9 yards and his accuracy is 60.53%. Combine that with being 4th in approaches beyond 200 yards and the golfer could rebound. One concern is if he gets in trouble. Scrambling is a weak point at 177th (51.72%). Sand saves are also outside the Top 150. That is a big reason why betting even a Top 20 can be a risk. Andrew Novak Poised to Rebound from PGA Championship
Source: PGATour.com
Andrew Novak opened well at the PGA Championship. The American golfer started with a 70 and then imploded with a 80. After a four week run that saw him nearly win the Valero Texas Open and RBC Heritage plus that triumph in New Orleans, maybe it was bound to happen. Either way, Novak has four Top 10 results in 2025. The worry is how the Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas sets up. Sadly, Novak has poor metrics when it comes to greens in regulation, driving accuracy, and approaches from greater than 200 yards. The worst is that greens in regulation which ranks 168th. Combine that with a driving accuracy of 55.98% (131st) and maybe that bounce back will only be modest. Mac Meissner Could Struggle Again at Charles Schwab

Mac Meissner has not had the best 2025 season. The American golfer has only one Top 25 result in 14 events. Worse, he has missed five cuts and finished outside the Top 5 in his previous five tournaments. A big reason for his struggles is driving off the tee. Meissner ranks 168th in strokes gained at -0.565. The primary driving force is accuracy which is only 55.78% (133rd). Worse, on an almost 7.300 yard course, there are several areas where long shots are heading toward smaller greens. Meissner ranks 171st when it comes to greens in regulation (60.73%). This may be another week to fade Meissner in most formats.
