Sam Burns Struggling To Bounce Back On The Course
Sam Burns has not had an easy time of it lately. Burns after an opening round 67 faded at the Scottish Open with a second round 76 and a final round 74. The American golfer kept missing shots and putts which could have stopped the bogeys. That final round featured five bogeys in all over […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoCorey Connors Could Falter At The Open
Corey Connors just could not put anything together right at the Scottish Open last week. He managed to make the cut but did little else as the Canadian struggled to a +7 and a tied for 61st finish. Conners can be quite accurate but he has to make putts. His 3.82 birdie average ranks just […]

Chris Wassel 2 years agoFrancesco Molinari Might Have Some Issues At St. Andrews
Francesco Molinari has won "The Open" before in 2018 at Carnoustie. However, St. Andrews is typically a more open course where birdies and scoring is more of a priority. Molinari has never better than eight-under par in any of his appearances. He missed the cut at St. Andrews in 2010 and did not factor in […]

Chris Wassel 2 years agoBryson DeChambeau To Use Power And Distance At Open
Bryson DeChambeau will play St. Andrews for the first time on Thursday but believe he has an advantage. His power and distance (320+ yard drives) should keep him out of trouble from most pot bunkers. DeChambeau has struggled to find his form due to a wrist injury. He just finished tenth at the LIV Tour's […]

Chris Wassel 2 years agoKurt Busch Enjoys The Atlanta Motor Speedway
Kurt Busch and his 23XI Racing car handled great during the March race at Atlanta. He finished third after starting in ninth. For those wondering about last year, the elder Busch led 144 laps during the summer race. That was on his way to a dominant win where he finished second in stage one and […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoRicky Stenhouse Jr. Intriguing Option At Atlanta
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. does not have the results on the surface for the JTG Daugherty Racing team. Look closer into the numbers and even in his last two DNF's (accident and suspension), Stenhouse Jr. was running well. In March, the No. 47 Chevy led 22 laps. Also, he finished fourth in that first stage before […]

Kyle Busch has done everything lately but win at Atlanta Motor Speedway. He has three top-five results, and four top-ten's. The Joe Gibbs Racing car finished second last July while leading 91 laps in all. It is why the younger Busch is one to keep an eye on early. Even in March, the No. 18 […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoJoey Logano Bit Of A Question Mark At Atlanta
Joey Logano has not finished better than ninth in his last five appearances at Atlanta. He has been close to the front, even leading 12 laps in March before falling back to ninth. The No. 22 Team Penske Ford does not have much in the way of stage finishes and has negative place differential the […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoDenny Hamlin Hit Or Miss At Atlanta
Denny Hamlin seems to contend more often than not at Atlanta. The problem is external and internal issues. He does have two top-five results and an average finish of 12.4. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver was running second after Stage 1 in March before an accident derailed his day. Last summer, Hamlin's car ran into […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoChristopher Bell Sneaky Option On Sunday
Christopher Bell and his Joe Gibbs Racing car may not be the best idea for Sunday's race on the surface. However, Bell led 16 laps in March and was tenth after Stage 1 before issues plagued his race car. The summer race in 2021 showed that Bell was quite fast on the track as he […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoChase Briscoe Could Hold Position At Atlanta
Chase Briscoe is another driver in a strange sort of position for the Sunday race? Does the lack of practice and qualifying hurt or help the Ford driver? That remains to be seen for the Stewart-Haas racer. He starts 14th on Sunday and does have a couple of top-20's in three appearances. Briscoe even led […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoWilliam Byron May Contend At Atlanta
William Byron has endured a mostly rough season in his Hendricks Motorsports car. On the other hand, Byron has won on this track (March of this year).

Chris Wassel 2 years agoMichael McDowell May Fall Back On Sunday
Michael McDowell is normally good on super speedway tracks but this 1.54-mile Atlanta track is a little more of a hybrid. McDowell has not performed well here. The wildcard is the 60-70% chance of thunderstorms On Sunday. Now, McDowell starts 12th in his Front Row Motorsports Ford. The No. 34 car has an average finish […]

Chris Wassel 2 years agoCameron Young A Bit Unknown Heading Into Scottish Open
Cameron Young was on a roll where he nearly won a tournament three times in a row. A third, second, and third was quite a run including the PGA Championship.

Chris Wassel 2 years agoMito Pereira A Good Bet To Bounce Back This Week
Mito Pereira has missed the cut in his last two tournaments. The Chilean did mount a furious rally at the Travelers before coming up just short of making the cut. The back to back bogeys did not help and that plagued him at the US Open as well. Pereira can hit greens well (ranks 11th) […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoSam Burns Has That "Favorites Look" For Scottish Open
Sam Burns is ranked ninth in the world for a reason. The American golfer did struggle at the Travelers but before that, he has played rather well since March.

He nearly came back to win the Canadian Open with a […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoAaron Rai Could Be Formidable At Scottish Open
Aaron Rai had an excellent first three rounds at the Traveler's last week until three bogeys on the front nine did him in. That being said, Rai was able to keep the ball in play and putt a bit above his -0.057 strokes gained from putting. His accuracy helps him gain about a half stroke […]

Chris Wassel 2 years agoCan Kevin Harvick Bounce Back Sunday At Road America?
Kevin Harvick, like William Byron, wound up a good ways further down the qualifying list than expected on Saturday. Byron begins Sunday 29th but Harvick starts 28th. The No. 4 Ford was looking to start a bit higher as the Stewart-Haas Racing driver does not have a win yet in 2022. He has four top-five […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoA.J. Allmendinger Road Tested For Road America
A.J. Allmendinger comes in just outside the top-20 in his Kaulig Racing car. The No. 16 Chevy did seem to lose nearly a second in the middle turns of the Road America course. That was the difference on Saturday in qualifying. Can Kaulig and Allmendinger find that speed and adjust to those turns in particular […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoRyan Blaney Can He Finally Win At Road America
Ryan Blaney and Team Penske had to expect a better qualifying run on Saturday but Blaney finished nearly a second behind Chase Elliott.

Chris Wassel 2 years agoChristopher Bell Can Overcome Shortcomings Of Toyota Car
If one of these Toyota drivers can overcome the limits of the race car, it may just be Christopher Bell. Bell finished second last year at Road America. Though Bell qualifies just 16th, that means little come race day. The No. 20 car just needs to find a little more speed for Bell to use […]
