Matthieu Pavon Trending In Wrong Direction

While California proved to the liking of Matthieu Pavon, Florida has not treated the French golfer so well. Pavon won at The Farmers Insurance Open then came close at Pebble Beach (Tied-3rd).

Alex Noren showed something last week at the Cognizant Classic. It was more than the tied for ninth as the Swedish golfer seemed to get better as the weekend rolled along. His 67 on Sunday showed that there was a little more left. He will need to be accurate this week as the 7,189 yard […]

Ryan Preece has been starting more towards the back often in 2024. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver begins the race in Phoenix 27th on Sunday. With qualifying efforts of 25th, 20th, and 36th, Preece has had to play catchup often. The No. 41 Ford must do that again on the 1-mile short track. While few expect […]

John Hunter Nemechek Driving Well In 2024

Erik Jones Might Rekindle Good Times At Phoenix

Justin Rose Needs His Putter At Bay Hill

Justin Rose will need several facets of his golf game to work very well this week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. For one, the English golfer cannot get into trouble like he did at the Cognizant Classic. Rose never got going last week and inched his way to a -1 through 72 holes. Putting has […]

Adam Hadwin Tries To Stay Hot In Florida

The last two rounds for Adam Hadwin were excellent at The Genesis Invitational. The Canadian golfer shot 67-65 to sneak into a tie for fourth place.

Erik Jones Starts 22nd From Vegas On Sunday

Austin Cindric Nearly Takes Pole At Las Vegas

Austin Cindric got the car going at the right time on Saturday and came up just short of taking the pole at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Cindric and his Team Penske car settled for third, a mere 0.042 seconds off of Joey Logano's pole position lap. For a time, Cindric looked like he might […]

Harrison Burton Way Off Pace At Las Vegas

Harrison Burton has not qualified well at Las Vegas. The last couple races were near the final position. On Saturday, he turned in a lap more than 1.4 seconds off the pole of Joey Logano. The Wood Brothers Racing driver is on the hot seat and starting 36th is not ideal (33rd and 35th last […]

Chris Buescher Starts Ninth At Las Vegas
