Austin Eckroat Learning At The Majors
3 months agoAustin Eckroat took the lessons from The Masters and applied them to the PGA Championship. The result was a Top 25 at Valhalla (T-18). The American golfer was again getting a final round lecture at the Memorial Tournament on Sunday as the pins were moved. Eckroat shot a 76 to fall back down the leaderboard. He does have some attributes which can keep him in contention at the U.S. Open. Eckroat can drive the ball accurately (70.21% - 12th), and get approaches close. Putting average ranks 31st at 1.734 putts per hole which could prove helpful. Hot conditions should dry out the course which will make shot placement important for Eckroat.
