Kyle Busch One to Keep Eye On at Ally 400
Obviously, some of the dynamics are a bit different, but Kyle Busch will be one to watch on Sunday at Nashville. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver did finish third at Charlotte and if the runs get longer, Busch could even lead some laps. Gradually, the younger Busch has risen in the points race up to […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoDenny Hamlin Expects to Lurk Again at Nashville
Denny Hamlin excels at gathering points for the "Points Championship". Despite not winning a race all year, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver keeps leading. His margin is just 47 points over Kyle Larson and 73 points over Chase Elliott. He finished seventh at Charlotte and Dover. The only concern could be laps led. Hamlin has […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoMartin Truex Jr. Favored to Contend at Ally 400
Martin Truex Jr. has had a few rough races in a row on these speedway courses. He finished 19th at Dover and 29th at Charlotte due to a multitude of issues with his car. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver thrives on long runs but the high wear tires are something that might benefit Truex Jr. […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoAlex Bowman a Bit of a Wildcard for the Ally 400
Alex Bowman is the fourth cog in the Hendrick Motorsports Racing team and yet he has managed to win twice this year. Bowman won at Dover leading 98 laps and used an excellent pit strategy that got him out seconds before his competitors. He tends to surprise when the least expects. Also, Bowman finished fifth […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoWilliam Byron Remains Consistent Threat at Nashville
William Byron consistently gets results of the top ten variety. Aside from the crash a few laps in at Sonoma. Byron has two fourth-place results in his last two races on 1-2 mile speedways (Dover and Charlotte). Consider that this week involves a 750 hp package. An interesting wrinkle in some tire tests is this. […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoChase Elliott Should Continue Hot Streak at Nashville
Next to Kyle Larson, Chase Elliott has been the hottest driver in NASCAR for about the last month or so. The No. 9 has finished seventh or better in his last six races. With that streak, Elliott has risen to third in the points battle. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has even shown he can […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoKyle Larson Favorite to Win at Nashville
Kyle Larson has won on every type of track lately. Not surprisingly, he is a favorite this week to win the Ally 400 on Sunday. Short runs or long runs do not seem to matter for the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver. Larson even won the All-Star race in Texas last Sunday. Over the last six […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoVictor Perez Likely To Not See Weekend At US Open
Victor Perez has had a rough time of it on this side of the pond. He has missed cuts in the last three tournaments. Yet, he was fourth at the World Golf Championship - Dell. Also, at The Players Championship, Perez managed a tied for ninth. The biggest problem in the previous three tournaments was […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoStewart Cink Might Be One To Pass On At The US Open
Stewart Cink has had that one round in the last three tournaments where you just throw your hands up in disgust. Last week, it was a 77 at The Memorial which took him out of contention. The week before was a 76 on the Friday at the PGA Championship combined with a slightly less horrid […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoSi Woo Kim Surprised Last Week But Not Likely At US Open
Si Woo Kim, checks notes, finished tied for ninth at The Memorial. However, he missed the cut at the last Torrey Pines tournament in January and the last US Open. Yet, Kim finished 12th at The Masters. There are a lot of moving parts in his golf game which infuriates many. This makes it difficult […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoSam Burns May Not Be Factor At US Open
Sam Burns withdrew from the PGA Championship and then a 75-76 weekend derailed him at The Memorial. After a brief hot stretch which included a win at the Valspar and nearly another at the Byron Nelson, Burns has cooled off. Now, he did finish in the top-20 at Torrey Pines in January but again this […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoBranden Grace Could Ride Momentum Into US Open
This long Torrey Pines South course may not be ideal for Branden Grace. However, Grace surprised many with a fourth-place result at The Memorial. This was after withdrawing from the Charles Schwab two weeks ago. One red flag is his performances in the last two majors but maybe Grace finds a way. He fired a […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoAdam Hadwin Not Cutting It At US Open
Adam Hadwin just is not performing well at tournaments lately and four missed cuts do not help matters. He did finish tied for 8th at the Charles Schwab but there have been too many misses. There was that top-20 at the Farmers Insurance Championship but this version of Torrey Pines will be much tougher. Hadwin […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoChristiaan Bezuidenhout Should Make Cut At US Open
Christian Bezuidenhout will likely not contend at Torrey Pines South but he should lurk around on the weekend. Some of the worries stem from his last US Open where he shot an 82 on Sunday. Does that haunt him at all this weekend? It's a great question. Even at the PGA, he blew up on […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoBilly Horschel Not Recommended At US Open
Billy Horschel is not in good form. The golfer imploded at The Memorial finishing 67th behind a weekend that saw him shoot 82 on Saturday. While Horschel could bounce back, this is not the PGA Championship, it is an even tougher US Open. Before his t-23rd at the PGA, Horschel finished 38th or worse at […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoVictor Hovland's Weekend Play Could Be Trouble At US Open
Victor Hovland has started well in recent tournaments but it is hard to ignore some of the weekends he has endured lately. At the PGA Championship as well as The Memorial, Hovland wilted under the pressure (75-71 and 76-74 respectively). When he is on, Hovland is on. However, too many times we see the golfer […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoShane Lowry Could Come Up Big At US Open
Shane Lowry is one of those golfers that does not jump off the page but finds ways to excel at big tournaments. Last week, he finished tied for sixth at The Memorial. Lowry nabbed a top-five at the PGA Championship. There was that top ten at The Players Championship and even a ninth at the […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoMatt Fitzpatrick Could Amaze Again At US Open
If Matt Fitzpatrick had started a little better last week, he may just have won the Palmetto Championship. As it was, his 69-66 got him to a tie for tenth. Some will argue it was a bit of a backdoor finish but his putting was excellent. Since The Genesis in February, Fitzpatrick has been fairly […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoTony Finau Should Be In The Mix At US Open
Tony Finau is a perennial top-ten machine in majors. A 50% rate is just ridiculous. Also, he finished tied for 8th at last year's US Open. He is another one of those golfers that thrive at Torrey Pines with a slew of top-six finishes. Yes, the golfer has not won a major but again, he […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoAdam Scott Likely Struggles Again At US Open
Adam Scott did finish 16th at The Memorial last week but that 71-73 did little to inspire confidence for what will be a harder US Open course at Torrey Pines South. One cannot have negative strokes gained off the tee this week especially and at -0.103, that is just what Scott has. His putting was […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoPatrick Reed Will Grind His Way Into Contention At US Open
Patrick Reed loves Torrey Pines and Torrey Pines loves him. He won the Farmers Insurance Open in January and has never finished outside the top-25 on the course. A lot of his metrics scream stay away but he finds a way to contend at big tournaments. He finished fifth at The Memorial last week behind […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoBryson DeChambeau Has Length And A Favorite At US Open
Bryson DeChambeau sees a Torrey Pines South Course that should favor him this week for the US Open. The length is majestic but DeChambeau is tops on tour driving the ball at 322.7 yards. His accuracy ranks just 181st but his overall strokes gained is over two which again leads the tour. There is a […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoRory McIlroy Must Drive Ball Accurately To Thrive At US Open
Rory McIlroy can hit a ball a country mile. He ranks second in driving distance at 318.4 yards. However, his just over 55% accuracy is only 173rd. McIlroy has had an up and down Spring, to say the least. He won the Wells Fargo, missed the cut at the Masters, but finished in the top-20 […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoDustin Johnson Expects To Contend At US Open This Week
Dustin Johnson faces a tougher Torrey Pines South course this week. Yes, the Farmers' Insurance Tournament is familiar to many.

Kevin Kisner managed to make the cut at the Charles Schwab but has missed the weekend in six out of his last eight tournaments. That includes six-second rounds where he shot above par or well above par. Last week was much better with a 67 but some will argue that was a stroke of luck. […]
