Ryan Fox Continues Up-And-Down 2024

Ryan Fox has had an adventurous 2024 season. The golfer from New Zealand has two Top 10 results but six missed cuts in 13 events. He can look incredible one week then shoot a 79 at the Valero Texas Open of all places. After a season best T-4th at the Myrtle Beach Classic, Fox made […]

Patton Kizzire Showing Improvement The Past Month

Patton Kizzire struggled through the early part of the 2024 season. The American golfer missed six straight cuts. That was after a solid result at the Sony Open (T-13th). Finally, playing in the Caribbean seemed to help Kizzire as he made the cut in Punta Cana. Since then, Kizzire has improved his play culminating with […]

Christiaan Bezuidenhout Likely To Bounce Back This Week

Christiaan Bezuidenhout endured a rough two days at the PGA Championship last week. The South African golfer opened with a 74. Not even a solid 68 could prevent Bezuidenhout from missing the cut. Normally one of the best putters on tour (0.632 strokes gained - 7th) was in the red all of Round 1. The […]

Keegan Bradley Attempts To Continue Momentum From Valhalla

Keegan Bradley played solid albeit not spectacularly at the PGA Championship. The good news for the American golfer was he shot all four rounds in the 60's. The bad news is he still finished ten shots behind winner, Xander Schauffele. With the greens being as receptive as they were, a few missed putts early and […]

Christopher Bell Fades Back To 17th At North Wilkesboro

Christopher Bell battled for the lead for quite a while at North Wilkesboro. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver started third and clashed several times with Denny Hamlin and particularly, Joey Logano. Bell never cleared Logano for the lead and after being forced three-wide several times, the No. 20 car ran into problems. The car kept […]

Chris Buescher Winds Up Third At All-Star Race

Chris Buescher never could get past Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano in the final quarter of the NASCAR All-Star Race. The RFK Racing driver did end up third at North Wilkesboro after starting fifth on Sunday night. It was one of those races that had more action down the standings than up it. Buescher moved […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Likely Not A Factor In All-Star Race

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. will begin the Sunday night NASCAR All-Star Race from the 16th position. The JTG Daugherty Racing driver has had a disastrous time on short tracks this season (33rd at Bristol and Richmond, 29th at Martinsville). Worse, the No. 47 Chevy has two Top 10 results but both are on superspeedway style tracks. […]

Michael McDowell Could Slide Back At North Wilkesboro

Michael McDowell will begin ninth on Sunday night at the NASCAR All-Star Race. The Front Row Motorsports driver was 25th in the practice session and saw something subtle speed changes. The No. 34 Ford turned in an overall lap that was slower than his 30-lap interval (18.93 seconds). McDowell on short tracks has not been […]

AJ Allmendinger May Struggle In All-Star Race

AJ Allmendinger will start tenth for the All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro on Sunday night. That is the good news. The bad news for the Kaulig Racing driver is those practice laps. Allmendinger was part of the 19-second club. With the No. 16 Chevy turning in an overall 19.055 seconds, that is a major concern. […]

Dean Burmester Comes Back To PGA Championship

Dean Burmester played his last tournament on the PGA Tour at the PGA Championship in 2023. The South African golfer wound up a respectable 54th shooting all four rounds above 70. Oak Hill Golf Club was a different animal compared to Valhalla. The Louisville, Kentucky course offers room for a few more birdies. However, Burmester […]

Stephan Jaeger's Final Round Last Week Is Troubling

Stephan Jaeger appeared primed to contend on Sunday at the Well Fargo Championship. However, a 75 on Sunday derailed his hopes for a second win in 2024. The other concern is how he played at The Masters a mere two weeks after winning the Texas Children's Houston Open. Even in this latest three-tournament stretch, the […]

Keegan Bradley Still A Longer Shot For Valhalla

Keegan Bradley has not had the best 2024 season. However, the American golfer did have a playoff runner-up result at The Sony Open in January. Bradley also has two Top 25 results in his past three events. It comes down to that putter for the golfer. Strokes gained to putting is a woeful -0.576 (174th […]

Alex Noren Has Been Very Consistent In 2024

Alex Noren has not won a tournament in 2024 but he has been close a couple of times. The golfer, from Sweden, is 41. Despite the age, Noren has eight Top 25 results this season. That was highlighted by a third at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson. His overall game ranks him fifth on tour […]

Akshay Bhatia Eager To Take On Valhalla

Akshay Bhatia struggled a bit last week at the Wells Fargo Championship. The bookended rounds of 74 led to a result outside the Top 40 for the American golfer. Bhatia did win as recently as early April at the Valero Open. Since then, his form has been a little up and down. It is still […]

Josh Berry Ends Up Third At Goodyear 400

Josh Berry did not start off the best at Darlington Raceway. However, when the race was over, Berry had his best result with Stewart-Haas Racing. The Ford driver came all the way back from 33rd to end up third on Sunday evening. Berry was not in the Top 10 after the first two stages but […]

Ty Gibbs Holds On For Second Place At Darlington

Ty Gibbs benefitted when Tyler Reddick and Chris Buescher had their run-in. Gibbs stayed the course and held off Josh Berry to finish second on Sunday evening. It was Gibbs' best finish in the Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota. The No. 54 car ended up 1.2 seconds behind winner Brad Keselowski. Gibbs also racked up 17 […]

Daniel Suarez Starts In The Middle On Sunday

Daniel Suarez starts 19th on Sunday afternoon from Darlington Raceway. The Trackhouse Racing driver did managed a tenth in May of 2022 including one stage point. However, Suarez has not led a single lap in the No. 99 Chevy. The Mexican ran a 30-lap interval that was well off from what some expected (nearly 30.75 […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Could Snag Some Stage Points Sunday

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. may go for some stage points on Sunday. The JTG Daugherty Racing driver was able to snag points in three of the four stages in 2023 at Darlington. The driver in the No. 47 Chevy has never led a lap in his career on the intermediate track. Darlington is a unique track […]

Joey Logano Tough To Count Out At Darlington

Joey Logano will begin the Goodyear 400 from the 14th position on Sunday afternoon. The Team Penske driver historically performs quite well on the Darlington track. His average finish of 9.3 the past three years includes a win and three Top 10 results. The No. 22 Ford attempts to break the Ford drought in 2024. […]

Derek Kraus Begins 32nd For Goodyear 400

Derek Kraus had his first runs in the No. 16 Kaulig Racing car on Saturday. Qualifying was a bit rougher as Kraus ended up 32nd at 0.546 seconds behind Tyler Reddick's pole time. Kraus was around that interval in practice too. His best lap was 0.539 seconds off from Michael McDowell. Kraus ran 28 laps […]

Daniel Hemric Attempts To Rebound At Darlington

Daniel Hemric did not fare well at Kansas last week. He moved up to 30th from 33rd. That does make six straight races of positive place differential. The Kaulig Racing driver starts 29th from Darlington on Sunday afternoon. It may set up for a seventh straight race of DFS potential. Anyway, Hemric has done well […]

Taylor Moore Attempts To Rebound At Charlotte

Taylor Moore appeared to be playing well. The American golfer barely finished inside the Top 60 at the RBC Heritage. That included a rough weekend culminating in a final round 74. After missing the cut at the Zurich Open, Moore may have an opportunity to rebound at the Wells Fargo Championship. The last time Moore […]

Lucas Glover Could Feel Close To Home At Wells Fargo

Lucas Glover enjoyed a career renaissance of sorts in 2023. The American golfer won two tournaments (Fed Ex St. Jude and the Wyndham Championship). 2024 has been different as Glover has zero Top 10 results. He has been close, however. Glover finished 11th at the Valspar in March but subpar final rounds have plagued him […]

Kurt Kitayama Likely To Lurk In Charlotte

Kurt Kitayama has played well enough to come close to contending without truly contending in 2024. He has a T-8 at Phoenix with several Top 25 results. The American golfer has only missed one cut in 2024. Total driving is where Kitayama excels ranking tenth overall. His driving distance of 303.8 yards is useful on […]

Andrew Putnam Poised To Keep Rolling At Wells Fargo

Andrew Putnam enjoyed a better April with two performances inside the top 20 (T14 and T18). Those came in stroke-play tournaments. The American golfer could be worth a look at the Wells Fargo Championship. With a longer course playing out to a par 71, Putnam may have a chance if he can be accurate with […]

Adam Hadwin An Interesting Pick At Wells Fargo

Adam Hadwin seems to have a really good performance every few tournaments. The Canadian golfer has four Top 10 results this season but no wins. The 7,538 yard Quail Hollow course sets up well for Hadwin. However, the Par-71 offers up its own set of twists and turns. Look at some of the winning scores […]

Christopher Bell Takes Sixth Place On Sunday Night

Christopher Bell knew his car was losing speed and grip on Sunday night at Kansas Speedway. The Joe Gibbs Racing car took the pole on Saturday but never truly had that late-run speed needed to win on Sunday. Bell only led five laps but did net seven stage points when he finished fourth in Stage […]

Michael McDowell Ends Up 10th At Kansas

Michael McDowell endured an up and down night in the Front Row Motorsports Ford. However, he ended up tenth when all was said and done on Sunday night. The AdventHealth 400 needed to go into overtime which caused McDowell to lose a few positions. It did seem like the Toyota cars had more on the […]

Josh Berry Around Middle Of The Pack For Sunday

Josh Berry started off practice around 25th griping about tightness in his Stewart-Haas Racing Ford. As qualifying went on, the car seemed to gain a little speed. That resulted in a 17th-place effort. That is the good news. Now, the bad news for the No. 4 Ford was again late-run speed in those lap intervals. […]

Joey Logano Tapers Off Speed-Wise At Kansas

Joey Logano turned in a nice qualifying lap at Kansas, which gave him a starting position of 11th for Sunday. However, the Team Penske Ford endured a much rougher practice session with frequent laps of 31-plus seconds. He was 30th overall in practice and was griping about several issues in the car. One was late-run […]
