Taylor Montgomery Putting Together Solid Results
6 months agoLooking back over the last 18 months since Taylor Montgomery earned full status on the PGA Tour, it's been remarkable to watch his propensity for grinding out top results despite lacking in many of the game's key areas. Although Montgomery routinely rates out as one of the worst ball-strikers on a weekly basis, he's recorded five top-25 finishes (and just one missed cut), over his last nine starts -- including a 13th-place finish around Torrey Pines, one of the more demanding layouts we'll see all year. The putter is very clearly the greatest weapon in Montgomery's bag, and the nearly four strokes he's gained per tournament over the last year already sits as one of the more impressive stretches we've ever seen a player have on the greens. Until he proves himself as a more proficient ball striker, it's hard to project Montgomery for the same ceiling as his contemporaries. But the built-in floor afforded to him by one of the game's most elite weapons makes him a compelling play in derivative markets.
