Austin Eckroat A Name To Watch For At WM Phoenix Open
6 mins agoAfter a rough two-week stretch, Austin Eckroat seemed to find some things in his golf game last week in Monterey. The 26-year-old ranked seventh in the field in strokes gained off the tee (+0.66) and 14th in strokes gained putting (+0.85). Both metrics are the two biggest contributors to total strokes gained at this event since 2015. As someone who cuts his teeth on being one of the more accurate drivers of the golf ball on the PGA Tour, a similar performance in that department should be expected. The question is whether getting putts to fall can transition to a much different surface than what is at Pebble Beach. Still, at $8,800 on FanDuel, Eckroat is a viable play this week that should warrant heavy consideration.
