Kyle Larson Favored Yet Again At Kansas

Kyle Larson has already qualified for the Championship Four at Phoenix in two weeks. Despite that, his focus is still Kansas.

Harry Higgs has heated up over the past couple of weeks as the Zozo Championship beckons. Higgs finished tied for 27th and then 9th in the last two tournaments.

Jhonattan Vegas' Putter Is Vital At Zozo Championship

Jhonattan Vegas can play from tee to green as well as anyone. He shot four rounds in the 60's at The CJ Cup which surprised many. That is because this was his Fall opener. Vegas was hitting over 320 yards off the tee as well. There was a lot to like en route to his […]

K.H. Lee Is An Interesting Pick In Japan

K.H. Lee has two top-25 finishes in the last two weeks. Lee has been playing pretty well. That has been buoyed by final round 66's twice. Now, at the CJ Cup, the Korean golfer, fired a 66-66 over the weekend which raised him from near the cut line to a tie for 25th. His driving […]

Lanto Griffin May Have Upside At Zozo Championship

Lanto Griffin was playing dreadfully in the first two tournaments of the Fall and then came to life two weeks ago at The Shriners Children's Open. After an opening-round T 72, Griffin started dropping birdies en route to a 64-66 weekend. That vaulted him into a tie for sixth and merited some serious consideration for […]

C.T. Pan On A Roll Heading To Narashino

C.T. Pan played excellent in his first two tournaments of the fall season with a T6 and T11. The most important thing was how well he putted. Though he finished 59th in 2019, this course is short and great for the golfer. One concern is his strokes gained off the tee. That has drifted into […]

Emiliano Grillo Must Improve His Putting In Japan

Emiliano Grillo has always had issues with his putter but did not in the last round of The CJ Cup. His 61 turned some heads as he just kept dropping putt after putt. His strokes gained lost to putting rose to -0.353 on the season. It was much worse. The question is can he sustain […]

Eric van Rooyen A Risky DFS Option At Zozo Championship

After missing the cut at The Shriners, Eric van Rooyen played much better at The CJ Cup. He finished tied for 25th and made quite a few birdies until the final round. That is where he shot only a 70. The South African golfer can hit a driver quite far, averaging 319.7 yards per swing. […]

Si Woo Kim Still A Guessing Game This Week In Japan

Si Woo Kim has been his usual enigmatic self this Fall season. He has two very good results and two not-so-good ones. Kim finished in a tie for 11th and 8th the first couple of tournaments then missed the cut and blew up with a 77 last week at The CJ Cup. It was that […]

Alex Noren Not Expected To Do Much At Zozo Championship

Alex Noren played his first tournament of the new season last week at The CJ Cup. He tied for 59th with a -10 score. Noren just could not make enough birdies even though he drove pretty well (fifth overall with 75% accuracy). The problem was the putter and his lack of ability to get to […]

Rickie Fowler Likely To Contend At Zozo Championship

Rickie Fowler looked great at The CJ Cup last weekend, firing a minus-22 on the way to a T3 result. He was the 54-hole leader and did fade a bit with a final-round 71. One of the more encouraging aspects of his game was his ability to lead all golfers in greens in regulation. The […]

Cameron Tringale Has Upside For Zozo Championship

Cameron Tringale had two top-25 finishes and then drifted out into the middle last week. Narashino is the type of golf course where Tringale can excel as the course is more suited to his game. Tringale can put well with nearly a half-stroke gained so far and is driving the ball just under 312 yards. […]

Damon Severson Shines In Return From Injury Tuesday

Jack Hughes Injured In Win Against Seattle

Kevin Harvick Does Texas Two-Step To Finish Fifth

Kevin Harvick had the best average finish of every active racer over the previous six races at Texas. Not only had he won twice, but there was that feeling he might finish in the top five. Sure enough, the No. 4 car survived all that carnage and ended up fifth. He was 11th after Stage […]

Brad Keselowski Finishes In The Top Five At Texas

Brad Keselowski had not expected this result at the Texas Motor Speedway. That occurred on Sunday as the No. 2 found his way up to fourth place by race's end. It was almost as if the Team Penske driver just ran out of laps. Sometimes that just happens. Other Team Penske racers looked to be […]
