Gary Woodland Clubbing Down
5 years agoGary Woodland hasn’t played in the annual event at Colonial since 2012, where he made the cut but did not factor into the weekend. Woodland had a bit of a slump after winning the U.S. Open last summer but had a strong run of form in the fall and early this year. One of the narratives around him is that he performs best when he doesn't need to use his power and can just play a little more conservative. Colonial feels like the type of course that should allow him to do that. Any player in Woodland's situation wants to back up his major breakthrough with steady wins, and this might be a perfect situation for him to do that in a major-like field.
