Chris Wassel 3 years agoShea Theodore Scores A Goal Tuesday

Chris Wassel 3 years agoJason Day Not Worth The Risk At The RSM Classic
Jason Day can make a ton of birdies, but can he avoid trouble on the island courses this weekend? That is a huge question mark. Day is averaging 4.5 birdies per round and probably can make more. However, his accuracy on greens and fairways are both outside the top 150. That is not going to […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoRussell Henley One To Watch At The RSM Classic
Russell Henley had that awful third round at the Mayakoba but largely has had a good Fall Tour. That culminated in a tied for seventh last week in Houston. If he had made a few more putts coming in to the back 9 on Sunday, Henley might have had a shot at winning. The key […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoBrian Harman Not Recommended At The RSM Classic

Chris Wassel 3 years agoCharles Howell III Needs To Make More Birdies At RSM Classic

Chris Wassel 3 years agoChris Kirk May Have Some Upside At The RSM Classic
Chris Kirk has had some issues the past two tournaments on the weekends. It is not where he shoots very poorly but just not well. The ZOZO Championship saw him shoot a 70-71-74 and then a 73-70-71 at the Mayakoba. The first round is not the problem for Kirk but accuracy has become troublesome increasingly […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoJustin Rose May Hang Around A Bit At The RSM Classic
Justin Rose has played OK in the past few weeks, but OK is just not good enough. Finishing outside the top 30 and just missing a bunch of putts is less than optimal. Expect more of the same to continue at The RSM Classic. The problem is Rose just cannot string enough holes together to […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoAdam Scott Could Bounce Back At The RSM Classic
Adam Scott started off great in Round 1 last week at Houston. He shot a 68 and everything looked great. Then, after a 73-71-73, it all just fell apart. He dropped all the way outside the top-50 (tied for 54th). This week, Scott will try to bounce back at The RSM Classic. Basically, Scott must […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoScottie Scheffler Could Contend Again At The RSM Classic
