William Byron Should Battle Up Front All Evening At Charlotte

William Byron finished third among the Hendrick Motorsports Racing drivers and fourth overall in Saturday qualifying. He finished just 0.001 seconds behind Chase Elliott. There was one tiny bobble in turn four that probably kept Byron from snaring the pole. He was one of five drivers that turned in a lap of under 30 seconds. […]

Chase Elliott Goes For Back To Back Wins At Charlotte

After winning the rain-shortened road race in Texas, Elliott qualifies in third for the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver looked to have that confidence back after it had been gone for so long. The No. 9 Chevy inched out fellow teammate William Byron and was just behind Ricky Stenhouse […]

Kyle Larson Takes Pole, Favorite To Win At Charlotte

Kyle Larson looked great in practice and then put his stamp on qualifying as he took the pole for the Coca-Cola 600 Sunday. Larson has three top-four finishes on 1.5-mile tracks this season and metrics-wise has ranked among the highest since 2018. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver is a slight favorite at 5 to 1 […]

Erik Jones Has Success At Intermediate Tracks Like Charlotte

Erik Jones has had a positive place differential in six of his last eight races (DNF in the other two). Jones looked great in the practice session and turned in the fourth fastest lap of the session. The No. 43 Chevy drove to an 11th place result last year in the 400-lap race. On intermediate […]

Ricky Stenhouse JR. Again A Dangerous Choice At Charlotte

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has staggered backward in results the past several weeks. He did have the eighth fastest lap in practice on Friday though. 2020 was a study in contrasts for the JTG Daugherty Racing driver. He finished 24th in the 400 lap race but fourth in the shorter version. Combine that with a fifth […]

Austin Dillon Has Intrigue For Race At Charlotte Sunday

It appeared Austin Dillon had a fast race car and sure enough in practice, he ran 35 laps. His run featured a lap clocked at less than 29.85 seconds which was tops in the practice session. Dillon has enjoyed a nice season and currently resides 11th in the early race for a playoff spot. The […]

Bubba Wallace Again Not Worth The Trouble At Charlotte

Maybe Bubba Wallace will not nearly collide into three or four other drivers a race but the 23XI Racing driver has not finished on the lead lap in four appearances. In the last two races, Wallace had multiple issues which forced him out early (vibration and crash). It feels like, in 2021, that the results […]

Aric Almirola Not Expected To Factor Much At Charlotte

It has been a nasty month-long stretch for Aric Almirola. He has only finished two of his last four races. Almirola has not even come close to the top-20 in a month. His last solid finish was 15th at Talladega and the last time he was on the lead lap. The No. 10 Ford was […]

Sunday night features the Coca-Cola 600 from Charlotte, North Carolina. William Byron, Joey Logano, Kyle Larson, Kyle Busch, and Chase Elliott made up the top five from the Friday night practice session.

Sam Ryder Just Trying To Make Weekend At Colonial

It has been a mighty struggle for Sam Ryder of late. He did not play in the PGA Championship last week after missing three straight cuts. That is the problem. Ryder has seen the weekend in just eight of 21 tournaments in 2021. He did have two top-ten finishes in March which was headlined by […]

Harris English Nice DFS Play At Colonial

It was a nasty week for Harris English at the PGA but he did make the weekend at least. He finished 13th at the Byron Nelson a couple of weeks ago and that may be more indicative of his current form. His driving accuracy and putting both rank in the top-55 on the tour. The […]

Stewart Cink Expects To Have DFS Upside At Colonial

Stewart Cink did surprisingly well given the windy conditions at the PGA last week. He was able to weather Friday and Saturday then finish with a 69 on Sunday. That should bode well heading into this week's Charles Schwab. Cink has finished in the top-40 five consecutive times now. That includes a 12th at The […]

Cameron Davis Not Expected To Be Factor At Colonial BUT...

Cameron Davis can hit a golf ball into the stratosphere. Most weeks he is top-ten in driving distance (310.1 yards -- 13th overall). However, his accuracy ranks 190th at just 53.1%. His iron play is one of the best on tour though as his greens-in-regulation comes in at a stellar 64.9% (4th on tour). The […]

Si Woo Kim's Uneven Form May Mean Less Potential At Colonial

Si Woo Kim just could not make the cut last week at the PGA as holes 14-18 were rough on his ability to drive the ball consistently. Kim is accomplished around the greens ranking 24th in strokes gained at 0.32. However, the rest of his metrics are mostly just okay. It is partly why lately, […]

Chris Kirk Trying To Find His Form At Colonial

May was just not kind to Chris Kirk as he played at the Valspar and then the PGA Championship. He missed the cut both times and it was not all that close either (missed by three strokes at the PGA). This week at the Charles Schwab might be good for Kirk as the course is […]

C.T. Pan Could Be A Bit Rusty At Colonial

C.T. Pan did not play in the PGA last week and has not played since the Wells Fargo Championship three weeks ago. He did finish 18th there after missing the cut in three straight tournaments including The Masters (7th in 2020). The concern is can Pan put his game together again. The golfer is average […]

Branden Grace Has A Little Value At Colonial

Branden Grace does not do anything very well on the tour. His numbers balance out to around average and yet he was in contention on Sunday at the PGA before a final-round 78. So, there is potential but something seems to short circuit in tournaments not named the Puerto Rico Open (his only 2021 win). […]

Harold Varner III Offers Some Upside At Colonial

Harold Varner III is excellent from tee-to-green but once he gets on the green, the adventure just begins. His average putting (.031 strokes gained -- 111th) may let him down this week at the Charles Schwab. If the PGA last week was any indicator, Varner III was able to get on the green but had […]

Cameron Tringale Should Bounce Back At Colonial

Last week was a disaster for Cameron Tringale as he shot an 82 on Friday to miss the cut at the PGA. That included the final five holes where he went +13 including a 10 on hole number 16. He was briefly leading at -5 thru 13 last Friday. Sometimes it just happens. The wind […]

Adam Hadwin May Have Another Tough Week At Colonial

Adam Hadwin was able to stick around for the weekend at the PGA but a 76 on Saturday all but killed any chances for a good finish on Sunday. It has been a struggle since the RBC for the Canadian who had missed three straight cuts before Kiawah Island. Hadwin can play well around the […]

Ian Poulter Will Need Putter To Make Noise At Colonial

Ian Poulter's putter is a weapon. His strokes gained ranks 9th on the tour and were one of the reasons why he meandered around the top-30 at the PGA last week. The problem for Poulter is getting to the green. He was another golfer who struggled to even drive the ball 280 yards at the […]

Lee Westwood Still An Enigma Heading Into Colonial

Lee Westwood frustrated last week at the PGA blowing up what looked like a promising weekend with a Sunday 77. Everything in his game went off-kilter especially his tee-to-green play where he lost several strokes (five bogeys in all). The Charles Schwab suits his game a little bit better where he does not have to […]

Henrik Stenson One To Stay Away From At Colonial

Henrik Stenson was three-under-par at one point during the first round of the PGA and then it unraveled again. Stenson stumbled his way to a Thursday 73 then just barely made the cut with a Friday 76. It did not get much better over the weekend and Stenson was outside the top-60 again when all […]

Billy Horschel Has Decent Upside At Colonial

Billy Horschel was able to squeak in at the cut line last week at the PGA and then shot four-under over the weekend including a 68 on Saturday. That got him up to 23rd in a tournament few expected him to do well after an opening 77. While his game doesn't fully suit well to […]

Kevin Na Not In Good Form Heading Into Colonial

Yes, Kevin Na won the Colonial in 2019 over Tony Finau but the golfer now resembles little of the golfer then. Na had an awful two days at the PGA Championship shooting 79-78 to miss the cut significantly. His driving accuracy is still pretty solid at 24th (67.6%) but so many other parts of his […]

Abraham Ancer Expects To Contend This Week At Colonial

Abraham Ancer may not drive the ball far but he can drive it straight. That ability alone would be enough to rate him highly at the Colonial. His 72.89% driving accuracy ranks second on the entire tour. Combine that with his nearly 69.85% greens-in-regulation (12th) and Ancer quickly vaults up a lot of lists to […]

Daniel Berger One Of The Favorites To Win At Colonial

Daniel Berger will be asked this a thousand times this week and weekend. Can he do it again? Last year, Berger was able to negotiate the field en route to a win at the Charles Schwab. He shot -15 par which included two clutch birdies on the back nine (and the final hole) to seal […]

Tony Finau Might Not Be The Best Option At Colonial

Tony Finau has had some issues with driving accuracy this year and the Colonial is about as tight and narrow of a course as they come. His 55.6% driving accuracy ranks 166th on tour by the way. If he cannot get the ball accurately on the fairway, Finau won't be able to utilize his ability […]
