Bubba Wallace May Fall Back Late At Phoenix
Do not be surprised to see Bubba Wallace near the front during the early part of the Phoenix race on Sunday. The No. 23 car was fast in the Spring and he even led four laps. Wallace was able to get his car up to the front and then the car began to get loose […]

Matt DiBenedetto does not know who he will drive for next season. Once the Phoenix race ends, the uncertainty begins for the Wood Brothers Racing driver. He does have four straight top-14 results (including an 8th) at the one-mile track. Last year saw DiBenedetto riding in the top five for quite a bit in the […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoKurt Busch Will Hang Around At Phoenix
Kurt Busch has a habit of just hanging around at Phoenix. He does not have the speed to truly contend with the dominators but the elder Busch does not tumble to the back of the field either. Occasionally, he even finishes in the top ten. It does make sense that his average finish the past […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoAric Almirola One To Watch At Phoenix
Aric Almirola surprises many when they start researching all sorts of metrics at Phoenix Raceway. Almirola does excel on the one-mile track with six top-11 results in his last eight races. He has led some laps and a couple of times nearly won the race. Some bad luck has indeed plagued him at crucial times. […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoKyle Busch Expected To Finish Better At Phoenix
Kyle Busch had some run at Phoenix going his last time out, but the No. 18 has mostly had nothing but issues there. So what will happen Sunday? It appears like more of Column A than Column B. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver had five straight podium appearances and two wins before his 11th- and […]

Chris Wassel 3 years agoMatt Kuchar Could Hang Around At Mayakoba Golf Classic
Honestly, not too much is expected out of Matt Kuchar. While he could hang around this weekend, there is little reason to think that Kuchar will do anything more than that. The 67-69 at the Shriner's did offer some hope but the American golfer has not played in nearly four weeks. He just has to […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoTaylor Pendrith's Weak Fourth Rounds Costing Him Dearly
Taylor Pendrith has all the tools to win at these shorter golf courses. Yes, he even had the 54-hole lead at the tournament in Bermuda. The problem is that 76 on Sunday. This is just like every other Sunday where Pendrith just starts hitting errant shots then missing putts the whole game goes off the […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoRussell Henley Hopes To Be More Consistent At Mayakoba
Russell Henley has two top-25 finishes this Fall but nothing inside the top-20. The golfer even has shot seven of his eight rounds in the 60's. If his driver accuracy and greens in regulation stay tops on tour then Henley will be more consistent. Henley even has shown improvements with his putter. He just has […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoRickie Fowler A Mixed Bag Heading Into Mayakoba Golf Classic
The peaks and valleys of Rickie Fowler's golf game are legendary. After a tie for third at The CJ Cup, Fowler looked mediocre err soso at the Zozo Championship. Keep in mind that the Zozo was only a Par-70 and another one of those short courses. Fowler and these types of courses do not seem […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoSergio Garcia Must Improve Putter To Contend At Mayakoba
Sergio Garcia is hitting it well off the tee at around 315 yards a drive. The problem is his erratic putter. The Spaniard just cannot drop birdies consistently. He is averaging 4.67 per round, which ranks 57th this fall. That is decent, but it will not win him a tournament or help him contend on […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoMatt Fitzpatrick Needs His Putter To Work At Mayakoba
For Matt Fitzpatrick, the Englishman needs his putter to work the entire weekend for him to have a chance at winning or contending. Last week, he finished in a tie for 30th. Bermuda was a nice, short course that did frustrate the Englishman at times. However, he again managed a decent result. The final-round 72 […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoMatthew Wolff Primed For A Run At Mayakoba
Matthew Wolff does not have to hit the ball a ton but is first this Fall in driving distance (336 yards). That has surprised some. The American golfer has two top-20 finishes a tie for 17th and 2nd. He could win the tournament this weekend in Mexico. The 31st-ranked golfer in the world has shot […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoShane Lowry Looks To Continue Momentum At Mayakoba
Shane Lowry found his golf game at The CJ Cup. Now the question is can he keep that momentum going this week in Mexico at the Mayakoba Golf Classic? That is a great question. He shot 69-64 over the weekend a few weeks back and that 64 included a birdie barrage that had everyone talking, […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoPatrick Reed To Contend Again At Mayakoba Golf Classic
Patrick Reed came up just short in Bermuda and had to settle for a tie for second place. This was much better than a missed cut and an outside the top-60 finish. Reed thrives on short courses where he can be a little creative. The Mexican course is short at around 7,000 yards which means […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoScottie Scheffler Has DFS Upside At Mayakoba
Scottie Scheffler showed the ability to make a large volume of birdies at The CJ Cup. The good news about that is there is some DFS upside. Scheffler ranked sixth in birdies with an average of 5.83 per round so far this Fall. He was even near the top-20 in greens-in-regulation but barely 53% accurate […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoTyrell Hatton May Be One To Watch At Mayakoba
Tyrell Hatton looked solid in his only tournament of the Fall. The English golfer wound up tied for 18th at The CJ Cup. The only real hiccup for Hatton was that final round 71. If he had shot in the 60's, he might have finished in the top ten. As it was, this was a […]

Right wing Conor Garland had two primary assists during the third period for the Vancouver Canucks as the Canucks forced overtime against the New York Rangers.

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko stopped 23 of 25 shots on Tuesday night. However, it was the two-man disadvantage where Demko shined.
