Christiaan Bezuidenhout does have a top-10 finish this season already. His runner-up result at The American Express drew some notice. He putted well and had all four rounds at 67 or better.

Tyrell Hatton Sees Potential At Sony Open

Tyrell Hatton seemed to have a problem quite a few golfers did on Saturday at Kapalua. The English golfer could not make putts or get close on approaches. As a result, he shot a 72 which knocked him out of contention for Sunday. Even a 69 would have placed him in the top five. He […]
