Tommy Fleetwood Not Expected To Be Factor
4 years agoTommy Fleetwood is average driving distance-wise at 297.5 yards, which is 82nd on the tour. The problems with Fleetwood are more with form. He has just one top-10 this year and a top-five at the WGC. That is it. With his scrambling and around-the-green ability taking a hit in 2021, this bodes poorly for Fleetwood's chances at Kiawah Island. This is a course where one has to hit well, weather the wind and putt in the clutch. Those shorter putts are where Fleetwood struggles, particularly on weekends (100th or worse in every metric from inside 10 feet).
