Charles Howell III's La Quinta Fortunes Depend On Putting

Charles Howell III has been done in by putting in the past, but last week he finished T36 because of his erratic shot-making than anything else. Now, Howell may arguably be more of a match for the stadium course. However, that is up for debate. His negative-0.4 strokes around the green is troublesome, but there […]

Tony Finau Has Plenty Of Potential At La Quinta

American golfer Tony Finau has a few numbers that look to be in his favor at this weekend's American Express Golf Tournament in La Quinta, California. Finau finished seventh at the Hero World Challenge. He followed that up with a top-20 (t-19th) at the Sentry Tournament Of Champions. Finau closed with a 65 at the […]

Cameron Davis Won't Do Too Bad At Sony Open

Cameron Davis is interesting for this week's Sony Open because his metrics say there is no way he should finish in the top 20 despite his decent 31st-place finish last year. He often drove the heck out of the ball to set up birdie chances last year. It is not a surprise he ranked 19th […]

Russell Henley Likely To Surprise At Sony Open

Russell Henley nearly finished in the top 10 (T11) last year at the Sony Open. Honestly, he easily would have if he had not missed a few easy putts. Those were ones Henley admitted later he never would have missed normally. His game is suited for a course like Wai'alae Country Club. Henley does not […]

Lucas Glover Not Recommended At Sony Open

Lucas Glover did not do much last week as he finished 35th at the Sentry Tournament Of Champions. It is a nice way of saying things did not go well. Glover either can be total hit or miss as he missed the cut nine times in 2021. Too many weekends shooting in the 70's will […]

Charles Howell III Could Do Well At Sony Open

Charles Howell III has shown the ability to put enough holes together to do well at the Sony Open. Last year, he closed out with a 64 to finish 19th rather unexpectedly. That unexpectedly is because typically there were too many tournaments where the American did not close well. Last season, he had one top-ten […]

Brendon Todd May Struggle At The Sony Open

Brendon Todd does not drive a golf ball very far, but he places the ball quite well. He was first on tour last year when it came to driving accuracy (75.25%). However, the golfer averaged just over 275 yards a drive. That still presents problems, even on a 7,044-yard course like Wai'alae. Todd finished 10 […]

Ryan Palmer Not Expected To Contend At Sony Open

Ryan Palmer can drive a ball just over 300 yards but his lack of putting ability may be his downfall at the Sony Open this weekend. He gained just 0.099 strokes putting which ranked a mere 89th. His work around the green is worse at 144th and in the negative direction. His driving accuracy and […]

Kevin Na Expects Better Finish At Sony Open

American golfer Kevin Na finished 13th last week at the Sentry Tournament Of Champions while literally shooting 67's or 68's each round. That consistency bodes well for an easier playing Sony Open this week (7,044 yard course). The Wai'alae Country Club suits Na's game well. After all, he did win the tournament last year at […]

Brooks Koepka Aims For Great Start At Kapalua

Brooks Koepka had an interesting 2021 season and nearly won the PGA Championship as he finished behind Phil Mickelson. He won the Waste Management Open to qualify for the season opener Sentry Tournament Of Champions. His overall strokes gained ranked 8th on tour last season led by a 1.157 strokes gained from tee-to-green (11th). Koepka's […]

Patrick Cantlay A Favorite At Sentry Tournament Of Champions

American golfer Patrick Cantlay finished 2021 with a flourish. He had four consecutive top-25 results culminating in wins at the BMW Championship and the Tour Championship. Cantlay had four wins overall on the season but it was that back-to-back that cemented his arrival. Now, the format at the Tour Championship helped Cantlay win but building […]

Abraham Ancer Looks To Feed Off Kapalua Experience

Mexican golfer Abraham Ancer finished in the middle of the pack during last year's tournament at Kapalua. He finally got a feel of the golf course on the final day but it was too late. The first two rounds in the 70's did not help. However, that could not take away from a very good […]

Kevin Na Could Be One To Watch At Kapalua

Kevin Na performs well in Hawaii. Aside from his blowup last year at Kapalua (that 79 dropped him to 38th). It did inspire Na to rebound and win the Sony Open in his next appearance behind an amazing 61-65 weekend. Na also enjoyed quite the end run to 2020-21. He finished six consecutive times in […]

Phil Mickelson Returns To Kapalua After Long Time Away

Phil Mickelson gained entry into the opening "winners only" tournament by winning the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island. The last time Mickelson played at Kapalua was in 2001 when he finished 28th out of 33 golfers. The lefty American golfer had one top-20 finish after his major triumph. He takes risks, he misses a lot […]

Cameron Champ's COVID Diagnosis Forces Kapalua Withdrawal

Cameron Champ will not be able to participate in this weekend's Sentry Tournament Of Champions due to a COVID diagnosis. Champ withdrew on Tuesday. The good news for the American is that he is resting comfortably at home in Houston and is mostly asymptomatic. Last year's 3M Open winner had nice run where he finished […]

Lucas Glover Tries To Clean Slate After A Brutal 2021 Finish

American golfer Lucas Glover won the John Deere Classic in July of 2021. It was a brilliant performance spearheaded by an incredible 64 that Sunday. After that, things went south and quickly for Glover. He missed three cuts in the final five tournaments heading into the Fall. Then, the Fall featured not much better results […]

Cameron Davis May Have Challenge At Kapalua

Australian golfer Cameron Davis comes into 2022 after a rather disastrous Fall. In his last five tournaments, Davis has missed the cut three times. His other two results were 64th and 27th. Shooting four consecutive rounds in the 70's to end his PGA season was not the way Davis wanted to end 2021. His overall […]

Joel Farabee Heats Up In Loss Saturday

Philadelphia Flyers left-winger Joel Farabee scored a goal and added an assist on Saturday against the Los Angeles Kings. The winger opened Philadelphia's scoring 13 minutes into the first period as he and Cam Atkinson teamed up on a goal Jonathan Quick had no chance on. Farabee later added a helper on Ivan Provorov's third […]

Cam Atkinson Deals Out Three Assists Saturday

Philadelphia Flyers right-winger Cam Atkinson is not known as a playmaker. On Saturday night, the forward was just that in defeat. Atkinson set up Joel Farabee, Kevin Hayes, and Ivan Provorov on their goals. The strange part is that the winger had several Grade-A scoring chances himself. He even had five shots on goal. Unfortunately […]

Trevor Moore Nets Four More Points On Saturday

Los Angeles Kings winger Trevor Moore had some night against the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday. Moore scored a first period goal and set up three more Kings goals en route to a 6-3 home win. The forward usually plays 13 minutes a night but has seen 14+ minutes in four consecutive games. Saturday saw him […]

Phillip Danault Delivers Three Point Night Saturday

Los Angeles Kings center Phillip Danault scored a goal and added two assists on Saturday versus the Philadelphia Flyers. Danault centered the top line of the night from a fantasy perspective. He scored midway through the third period after a nice setup from Trevor Moore. Philadelphia could not contain this line all night as even […]

Viktor Arvidsson Nets Four Points In Win Saturday

Los Angeles Kings' left-winger Viktor Arvidsson led the way as his line totaled 11 points against the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday night. Arvidsson had two goals and two assists in the 6-3 home victory. Arvidsson opened the scoring just 12 seconds in as Martin Jones could not stop his shot. Then, he closed the scoring […]

Calle Jarnkrok Extends Point Streak To Three Games Saturday

Seattle Kraken center Calle Jarnkrok continued his hot streak with another goal on Saturday versus the Vancouver Canucks. Jarnkrok waited until the second period to extend his point streak to three. He struck midway into the stanza to get the Kraken on the board. Carson Soucy set Jarnkrok up for the tally while Yanni Gourde […]

Philipp Grubauer Comes Up Short Again On Saturday

Seattle Kraken goaltender Philipp Grubauer allowed four more goals on Saturday night in a 5-2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks. Grubauer saved 30 of the 34 shots that came his way. He allowed a power-play goal to Vancouver's Nils Hoglander as well. Grubauer has now yielded three or more goals In nine consecutive appearances. It […]

Tyler Motte Scores Game Winner Saturday For Vancouver

Vancouver Canucks center Tyler Motte is not known as much of an offensive threat. However, he found the back of the net on Saturday night against the Seattle Kraken. His goal at 4:38 of the third period proved to be the game-winning goal in Vancouver's 5-2 road victory. Motte's third goal of the season was […]

Thatcher Demko Ups Winning Streak To Seven Saturday

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko managed to come up big when it counted on Saturday stopping all five shots on the penalty kill. In all, Demko stopped 30 of 32 shots en route to the 5-2 Vancouver win. The goalie still has not lost since Bruce Boudreau became the coach (seven straight wins). Demko made […]

Tanner Pearson Cements Win For Vancouver Saturday

Vancouver Canucks left-winger Tanner Pearson dished out a helper on an early Vancouver goal. Then, he added an empty-net goal against the Seattle Kraken to cement the win for the Canucks. Pearson played 15:50 including nearly two minutes on the man advantage. He got in a fight with Carson Soucy and had four shots on […]

Alex Formenton Piles Up Shots Saturday

Ottawa Senators left-winger Alex Formenton had been given more and more of an offensive role. Formenton, for the most part, has delivered. He fired six shots on goal Saturday versus the Toronto Maple Leafs in 19:09 of action. The forward had a few high-danger chances and nearly beat Jack Campbell twice. Formenton had five points […]
