Sahith Theegala Has Some Potential At St. Jude
Sahith Theegala is a young American golfer who sometimes struggles with stringing holes together and putting. However, when he is swinging loose and free, look out! Theegala nearly won the Travelers Championship in June shooting all four rounds at 67 or better. The 24-year-old could excel at TPC Southwind this week at the FedEx St. […]

After four straight missed cuts, Mito Pereira is just trying to find his game this week at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Pereira had been missing shots and putts left and right over the previous four tournaments. In the two tournaments overseas, the Chilean golfer blew up in Scotland with an 81 then went +5 […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoCameron Davis One To Watch At St. Jude
Cameron Davis has three top-16 results in his last three tournaments and is 4-for-4 if you count the Barracuda Championship (points based). Davis is enjoying a solid season on the PGA Tour and ranks 70th in the FedEx standings. His putting has been much better in the final rounds of the last three tournaments, which […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoSi Woo Kim A Bit Of A Question Mark At St. Jude
Si Woo Kim was looking good, even at The Wyndham Championship last week. Then the Korean golfer had to withdraw. Before all that, Kim had back-to-back top-15 results after missing three straight cuts. The up-and-down nature of his game is a concern. Putting may be his biggest concern, considering he loses 0.211 strokes (165th on […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoChez Reavie May Hang Around At St. Jude
Chez Reavie has made it to the weekend in his last two tournaments with results just inside the top 50 (49th and 47th, including ties). The American golfer has been a bit up and down over the previous several months. Despite a win at the Barracuda Championship (points based) and a top-10 showing at The […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoJason Day A Long Shot For FedEx St. Jude Championship
Jason Day comes into the first round of the playoffs this week at TPC Southwind with some definite concerns. For one, the Australian golfer abruptly withdrew after an opening round 67 at the Wyndham last week. Day, for what it is worth, looked good striking the ball and putting. That comes on the heels of […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoPatrick Cantlay In Great Place Heading Into St. Jude
Patrick Cantlay is in a great position heading into the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Over his last six tournaments, the American golfer has finished no worse than tied for 14th.

Chris Wassel 2 years agoBrad Keselowski Could Move Up On Sunday
The 2022 season has been a lost one for Brad Keselowski. Keselowski has been behind from the beginning even with the 100 point deduction early on. The RFK Racing driver even starts way back in 33rd for Sunday's race at Michigan. This is a driver who does have three top-tens in his last five races […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoRyan Blaney Can He Win At Michigan Again?
Ryan Blaney won the race last year at Michigan. The Ford driver tested rather well and then proceeded to qualify 24th for Sunday's race even behind Justin Haley. Yes, he was not the only one but it was a surprise. Blaney has not won in 2022 yet and the pressure does seem to be getting […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoRoss Chastain In Unfamiliar Position On Sunday
Can Ross Chastain climb from 22nd on Sunday? That is the question. Michigan is different compared to other tracks for the TrackHouse Racing driver. There is quite a bit of unknown but for two previous teams, Chastain has never finished higher than 26th in four appearances. That likely will change on Sunday. How high does […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoWilliam Byron Might Thrive At Michigan
William Byron charged up the field last year at Michigan. He started 18th and wound up second when all was said and done. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver even led 18 laps and finished in the top-nine during both stages. His car was fast. This year looks familiar as Byron qualified only in 20th. Byron […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoCole Custer Might Struggle At Michigan
Cole Custer starts 17th on Sunday at Michigan and though he has shown flashes of speed, Custer may struggle again. In three races, the Ford driver has finished no higher than 23rd. To be fair, his qualifying has left a bit to be desired. Even his fourth effort produced another start outside the top-15. He […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoKevin Harvick Should Contend At Michigan
Kevin Harvick and his Stewart-Haas Racing Ford should at least contend at Michigan. Winning is another completely different question as issues have just plagued the No. 4 Ford all season. He is around the top ten in points despite of pit strategy and all sorts of maladies. At Michigan, Harvick has won three of the […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoDaniel Suarez Hit Or Miss At Michigan
Daniel Suarez has shown an ability to race well at Michigan International Speedway. He has two top five results mixed in his past five races there. However, those came when Suarez was still racing for Stewart-Haas Racing. How will TrackHouse Racing fare at the 2.0-mile track on Sunday? That is a great question. Consider that […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoCan Michael McDowell Do It Again At Michigan?
History says no but Michael McDowell, even with sanctions, still finished in the top ten last week at the Brickyard. That eighth was more surprising than any other result this season. Can he do it one more time at Michigan? McDowell faces an extremely uphill battle to get in the playoffs. He needs a win […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoChase Elliott Possible Contender At Michigan
Other than one DNF, Chase Elliott and his #9 car have finished in the top ten the past four times at Michigan International Speedway. That average finish of 10.6 ranks a respectable seventh among all active drivers. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has some built in DFS upside since he qualified 13th. With the Next-Gen […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoTy Gibbs Starts Just Outside The Top Ten Sunday
Ty Gibbs was the last Toyota to qualify on Saturday but still placed 11th among all cars and was easily one of the five or six fastest in terms of lap time. Because of NASCAR's qualifying matrix, it is more how one advances in the groups. That being said, Gibbs has some interesting experience driving […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoSi Woo Kim Gaining Steam For Wyndham This Week
Among the longer shots going into The Wyndham Championship this week, Si Woo Kim is gaining some notice. This comes off consecutive top-15 finishes where the Korean golfer did not finish as well as he would have liked (73-70). So, the natural order dictates that if Kim cleans up those late mistakes, he could finish […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoK.H. Lee May Be One To Watch At Wyndham
Even for DFS purposes, K.H. Lee is an intriguing golfer this week for the Wyndham Championship. When he can put his game together, the Korean golfer can post some great scores. That -26 at the AT&T Byron Nelson was some four-round run and yes, he won that tournament. How much did that final round 73 […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoBrandt Snedeker Trying To Find Stroke At Wyndham
Brandt Snedeker has endured a rough 2022 season. He ranks 180th in the FedEx Cup and in the 300's when it comes to world rankings. If that is not tough enough, the American golfer has missed the cut the last two tournaments Snedeker has entered (ten of last 14). He drives less than 285 off […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoJason Day's Performance Last Week Could Be A Good Omen
Jason Day did not win the Rocket Mortgage Classic last week but he finished off the tournament well. Considering the layoff and such, the Australian golfer made some putts on Sunday en route to a final round 66. After a 3M Open where the rust showed, that was not the case on a course more […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoChez Reavie Needs To Make Putts To Contend
Thankfully for Chez Reavie, the Wyndham Championship is a par-70 course that is only a little over 7,100 yards. However, he drives the ball so poorly at around 281 yards and his putting gains -0.332 strokes which ranks just 182nd. The American golfer can be on somewhat like at the Barracuda Championship where he won […]

Chris Wassel 2 years agoErik Jones Worth A Look At Indianapolis
This may seem foolhardy, at best, but Erik Jones is at least worth a look at Indianapolis. No one knows how Martin Truex Jr. and some of the other Toyotas will perform on Sunday. The No. 43 driver from Petty GMS Motorsports just re-upped with the team for a couple more seasons. With his racing […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoKyle Larson Place Differential Rise Inevitable Sunday
Kyle Larson starting just 22nd turned a few heads during qualifying on Saturday but do not panic. Look at who is around him. A.J. Allmendinger who won last year is 20th and Ross Chastain is 21st (COTA winner). Other than Chase Elliott, Larson is the only driver to win multiple times on road courses the […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoRoss Chastain Can Run Strong At Indianapolis
Ross Chastain, like Daniel Suarez, has a fast road racing car for Indianapolis on Sunday. The TrackHouse Racing driver has already won a road race this year at COTA. Chastain was running pretty well last year after starting ninth. He just had some bad luck later in the race which sealed his fate. Again, he […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoA.J. Allmendinger Starts Title Defense 20th At Indy
A.J. Allmendinger had a wild ride at Indianapolis last year en route to a glorious victory. The Kaulig Racing driver begins 20th on Sunday but should be able to move upward track position wise pretty quickly. After all, in seven laps last year, Allmendinger moved up from seventh to first and did win. He can […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoKevin Harvick Running Out Of Time For Chase
Kevin Harvick is at a track he did not like all that much in Indianapolis. To be fair, quite a few drivers prepare the Indy race to be an oval like it was once before (Brickyard 400). That being said, Harvick is running out of time. He qualified 17th on Sunday for the race but […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoChris Buescher Has Solid Road Racing History
Chris Buescher and his Ford have pretty good racing history the past three seasons. That includes an average finish of 12.7 with three top-five results and four top ten's. The RFK Racing driver begins 16th on Sunday which is four positions behind Brad Keselowski, his teammate. Kind of like Austin Cindric, Buescher's road racing results […]
