Harrison Crowe Heads To Masters As Amateur Makes Waves

Harrison Crowe is arguably more well known as a golfer who hit an illegal trick shot at St. Andrews. However, the Australian amateur golfer has more talent than most acknowledge. Crowe has won five times as an amateur including at the Asia-Pacific last year. He has a couple top-tens and comes off a respectable 29th […]

Bernard Langer Takes Senior Winning To The Masters

Bernard Langer had an amazing PGA career but his Senior Tour career has been even better. His 45 wins and 40 runner-ups are an incredible accomplishment.

Billy Horschel Sputtering As The Masters Looms

Billy Horschel nearly got into the elite eight at the WGC Match Play, but that has been his only quality result in 2023. The American golfer has been decent at times, but mostly it has been missed shots, a wonky driver, and some mediocre putting. Horschel has missed three cuts and is one of the […]

Alex Noren May Struggle At Augusta This Week

Alex Noren has endured a rough 2023. The Swedish veteran golfer has missed a few cuts (three in his last six tournaments). Even at The Valero, Noren finished tied for 15th but never could make enough birdies to truly contend. This year has featured a lot of inaccuracy off the tee. Driving accuracy ranks 146th […]

Seamus Power A Bit Cold Heading To The Masters

Seamus Power was thriving early in the season with a win at the Butterfield in Bermuda. The Irish golfer strung along seven straight top-25 results then March happened.

Keegan Bradley Returns To The Masters This Week

Keegan Bradley returns to play at The Masters for the first time since 2019 this week. That week saw him finish just outside the top 40 (tied for 43rd). His other appearance a few years before saw the American stumble over the weekend. In 2019, he opened with a 76. It will be intriguing to […]

Tom Kim Trying To Find American Express Form This Week

Tom Kim's last quality tournament was in January at The American Express. The South Korean golfer finished sixth and shot all four rounds in the 60's.

Can Max Homa Figure Out The Masters?

Max Homa looked like he had things under control at The Masters through 36 holes last year. Then, the weekend happened. The American golfer fell apart with rounds of 77 and 78. Several missed putts each day cost him a likely top 20 result. Three of the four majors were unkind to Homa. His only […]

Cameron Smith Opens His PGA Season At The Masters

Cameron Smith starts his 2023 season at The Masters. The last time he played on this side of the hemisphere was last August at The Tour Championship. Smith finished 20th as the Australian could not make enough birdies when the conditions were better. That may be a problem this week at Augusta. Can Smith start […]

Scottie Scheffler Has Tools To Repeat At The Masters

Scottie Scheffler knows The Masters and Augusta well. He understands the pressure placed on the number one golfer in the world. Scheffler has been one of the best golfers in the last calendar year, if not the best. This season, he has two wins and seven top tens already. The golfer did hold off Rory […]

Kevin Harvick Winds Up Fifth At Richmond On Sunday

Kevin Harvick and a top-10 finish at Richmond is not a surprise. He ended up fifth and led a small Ford contingent of three cars in the top seven (Michael McDowell in sixth and Joey Logano in seventh). In the early portion of the race, it was the Stewart-Haas car that held the fort for […]

Christopher Bell Bumps His Way To Fourth-Place Finish

Christopher Bell and his Joe Gibbs Racing car were quick all day. The No. 20 car added 12 stage points and nearly edged out Denny Hamlin for the Stage 2 win.

Erik Jones Hoping Not To Go Backwards At Richmond

Erik Jones has not enjoyed the last few Spring races at Richmond. Last year showed some promise when he started fifth.

Tyler Reddick Tries To Keep Rolling At Richmond

Tyler Reddick won at COTA last week with one very dominant performance. He was the fastest car on the course no question. Reddick and his 23XI racing car face a different challenge on Sunday.

Kyle Larson Benefits From Appeal For Richmond Race

Metrics and the appeal helped Kyle Larson a good deal for the Richmond race on Sunday. Larson starts ninth in his No. 5 Chevy. He typically loses speed in the August event but last year showed top-five late run speed en route to a top five result. Larson was ninth after Stage 2. That fifth […]

Denny Hamlin Trying For Spring Magic At Richmond Again

Denny Hamlin and the Joe Gibbs Racing team have enjoyed a lot of success at Richmond. Last year, Hamlin won the April race despite only leading five laps. Leading the one that matters never hurts.

A.J. Allmendinger Trying To Improve At Richmond

A.J. Allmendinger has not finished inside the Top 20 since 2015 at Richmond. That is a string of eight races. Now, Allmendinger had not raced on the track in 3 1/2 years going into last Spring. The result was almost predictable. The Kaulig Racing driver started 26th and finished 27th. This April, Allmendinger and his […]

Austin Cindric Keeps Improving At Richmond

Austin Cindric may not be producing the results some expect on short tracks yet, but he keeps improving at Richmond. Cindric and his Team Penske car start sixth on Sunday.

Corey LaJoie Could Slide Back Some Spots Sunday

Corey LaJoie gets some help with the metrics for Sunday starting 16th at Richmond. Consider his average start on the track is 31.4 and that is a nice bump.

Ty Gibbs A Slight Question Mark On Sunday

Ty Gibbs benefits from the metrics and will start 14th on Sunday at Richmond. His Xfinity experiences have been better on the short track. His only Cup Series start ended with a 36th-place result. To be fair, his engine blew after beginning 14th. Now, in the Joe Gibbs Racing car, it will be intriguing to […]

J.J. Yeley Facing A Long Afternoon At Richmond

J.J. Yeley starts the Sunday race at Richmond from the 34th position for the Rick Ware Racing team. The No. 15 Ford does not generate much speed or downforce on the short track.
