Can Patrick Rodgers Put It All Together In Texas?
Patrick Rodgers has the appearance of a golfer about to win a tournament. Rodgers came close to winning last month in Texas, but a rough final round on Sunday saw his first PGA Tour win slip away. Approach play has been the main issue for Rodgers this season, but recently it has been trending in […]
Rob Rose 2 years agoHarris English Proves Hard To Predict
This has been a weird season for Harris English. His statistics and results really don't make sense based on how well he has played at times. English has a pair of top-three finishes at elevated events and not much else worth noting. Despite that, his metrics say he's having a solid season. English is among […]
Rob Rose 2 years agoTaylor Moore Offers Major Value At Charles Schwab
Before last week's brutal PGA Championship, Taylor Moore was No. 26 on the PGA Tour in total strokes gained this season. Moore had a rough weekend on a very difficult course in tough conditions, so he's earned the forgiveness of fantasy managers. At $8,000 on DraftKings, Moore offers major value as a pivot off potentially […]
Rob Rose 2 years agoHard To Trust Brian Harman At Charles Schwab
The way Brian Harman plays golf should be perfect for Colonial Country Club. Accurate drives, solid approach play, and putting are ideal for the course setup, but Harman hasn't been at his best for a while now. Harman has been great with his driver, but his iron play and putting have been up and down, […]
Rob Rose 2 years agoMin Woo Lee Continues To Struggle On Approach
Min Woo Lee has a ton of talent, but it could take some time before he is a complete player that gives bettors confidence. Lee has lost strokes on approach for two straight months, costing him a couple of missed cuts. He has found ways to finish inside the top 20 twice without a major […]
Rob Rose 2 years agoRussell Henley Trending Toward Another High Finish
Nobody on the PGA Tour is more accurate off the tee than Russell Henley. Combine that skill with great approach and around-the-green play, and Henley should feel right at home at Colonial Country Club. Henley has only played at the course once in 2018 and finished T58, but he has four top-25 finishes at a […]
Rob Rose 2 years agoCan Chris Kirk Contend At Charles Schwab?
Chris Kirk fits the perfect profile of a golfer that should have success at Colonial. He's accurate off the tee and on approach, is great around the green, and can roll in some putts. Kirk won this event under a different name in 2015, when he was at his best until a recent resurgence in […]
Rob Rose 2 years agoCourse History A Concern For Si Woo Kim At Colonial
While Si Woo Kim has improved his performance with his putter, it's hard to forget that video of him breaking his flat stick at The Masters a few years back. That club is the one that holds him back, because his ball-striking is so good. Kim's accuracy off the tee and on approach plays perfectly […]
Rob Rose 2 years agoSungjae Im A Solid Start At Charles Schwab
Last week was very ugly for Sungjae Im, but he's earned one bad week with how well he's played this season. Im only lost strokes in two categories, let alone three, three times this season, and he still made the cut each time. The PGA Championship course and conditions were brutal last week, so Im's […]
Rob Rose 2 years agoSi Woo Kim Is Way Too Cheap This Week
There is no event where Si Woo Kim should be priced at $7,100 on DraftKings. Sure, he doesn't have the driving distance that fantasy managers are looking for at Oak Hill, but he's extremely accurate. Kim's approach and around-the-green play have been strong as well, and his putting has improved this season to the point […]
Rob Rose 2 years agoMin Woo Lee In Worrisome Form For PGA Championship
Since Min Woo Lee failed to finish off a win at The Players, he's been on a brutal stretch of play. Lee can launch the ball off the tee and roll in a lot of putts, but that hasn't been enough to balance out his poor approach play. Lee has lost over three strokes on […]
Rob Rose 2 years agoHarris English Dominating During Elevated Events
While the PGA Championship isn't technically one of the PGA Tour's elevated events, the strength of the field and course is similar. Harris English has had a difficult season, but on the most difficult courses he has shined. He finished T2 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March and T3 and Wells Fargo earlier this […]
Rob Rose 2 years agoTaylor Montgomery Too Volatile To Play At PGA Championship
When Taylor Montgomery was near the top of the leaderboard every week in the fall, his game was in a much different place. The rookie was crushing the ball off the tee, playing decently on approach, and making every putt. Since then, Montgomery has struggled off the tee, and it has taken a toll on […]
Rob Rose 2 years agoRussell Henley Returning To Form
Whatever was wrong in Russell Henley's game during the winter has been fixed since the spring. After Henley won in November, he missed half his cuts and didn't post a top-25 showing until the Arnold Palmer Invitiational in March. Since then, Henley has been inside the top 20 in four straight events, including a T4 […]
Rob Rose 2 years agoCan Wyndham Clark Avoid Post-Win Struggles?
Looking at Wyndham Clark's recent statistics, he's an easy pick at $7,500 on DraftKings. Clark has always had skills with his driver and putter, but his approach and around-the-green game have been the keys to his impressive season. Clark ranks inside the top 62 in all the major statistical categories, so he should be able […]
Rob Rose 2 years agoTaylor Moore Emerging As A Consistent Player
Taylor Moore has been on a tear this season. Moore picked up his first win at Valspar in March and had four other top-15 finishes as well. Moore has the skills with his driver and with his putter to post low numbers. However, at Oak Hill, he will need his approach and around-the-green play to […]
Rob Rose 2 years agoAdam Scott's Approach Play Coming Along
Adam Scott has been elite off the tee, around the green, and with his putter this year. What has held Scott back from securing a win has been his iron play. Scott ranks No. 142 on approach this season, but the last two weeks have been much better. Scott gained over a stroke at the […]
Rob Rose 2 years agoShaky Form For Shane Lowry Coming Into Oak Hill
Shane Lowry already has a major championship on his resume and should be among the contenders on a course like Oak Hill. The course demands a great driver and solid approach play, with the skills to scramble around the greens and save par. When Lowry is at his best, he's able to do all of […]
Rob Rose 2 years agoSungjae Im A Safe Option At Oak Hill
Among the players in the low-$9,000 range on DraftKings, Sungjae Im is the safest option to finish inside the top 10. Im ranks inside the top 60 in all four major statistical categories, and a full skill set will be required around Oak Hill this week. Im hasn't missed a cut since January and has […]
Rob Rose 2 years agoPatrick Cantlay Has The Perfect Profile For PGA Championship
On a course like Oak Hill in major-championship conditions, Patrick Cantlay is a perfect fit. Cantlay has the off-the-tee, approach, around-the-green, and putting to compete for the PGA Championship. Cantlay's 2023 form has been great with five top-10 finishes, four of which were in elevated events. The knock on Cantlay had been that he struggled […]
Rob Rose 2 years agoAaron Baddeley Struggling With Ball-Striking
Around the greens this season, Aaron Baddeley has been amazing. Baddeley ranked No. 5 around the green and No. 61 in putting, but his results have still been poor. The issue is off the tee and on approach, where he sits outside the top-110 PGA Tour players. TPC Craig Ranch requires a player to post […]
Rob Rose 2 years agoCan Ryan Palmer Find His Form In Texas?
By looking at his stats alone, it's hard to play Ryan Palmer this week. Palmer has missed six of 11 cuts this season and hasn't finished inside the top 30. His short game has been a real struggle while he continues to drive the ball well. Palmer is from Texas and finished T5 at TPC […]
Rob Rose 2 years agoRobby Shelton In A Rough Stretch Of Play
The start of this season was great for Robby Shelton. He opened up with two top-10 finishes and a pair of top-20 finishes, but it hasn't lasted. Since March, Shelton has made six starts and missed five cuts. Shelton's strengths are on approach and around the green, but his iron play has been rough for […]
Rob Rose 2 years agoVincent Norrman Trending Up Heading To Texas
Like a lot of young players that can launch the ball off the tee, the start to Vincent Norrman's season wasn't great. The 25-year-old rookie missed the cut in most of his starts, but recently his play has improved. Since March, Norrman has played in six events and finished in the top 20 four times. […]
Rob Rose 2 years agoA Lot To Like About Nate Lashley At Byron Nelson
Nate Lashley's lone PGA Tour win came at an easier course during the Rocket Mortgage in Detroit. This week offers another chance to get after a course that offers birdie chances in TPC Craig Ranch.

Rob Rose 2 years agoGarrick Higgo Unlikely To Hit At Byron Nelson
For Garrick Higgo to post a high finish, the left-hander needs to smash his driver and follow it up with solid approach shots to counter his poor putter. Unfortunately for Higgo, this season has not seen the solid ball-striking he's shown in the past. Higgo has lost at least one stroke on approach in his […]
Rob Rose 2 years agoCan Eric Cole Come Through At TPC Craig Ranch?
Because Eric Cole is 34 years old, it can be forgotten that he's playing nearly every PGA Tour course for the first time. As a rookie, Cole has done well this season with a pair of top-five finishes and a near win at the Honda Classic. Cole continues to gain strokes on approach, around the […]
Rob Rose 2 years agoJoseph Bramlett Being Held Back By His Putter
So far this season, Joseph Bramlett could be having a special season. Bramlett has been in the top 60 off the tee, on approach, and around the green. Being amongst the best players in three facets of the game is impressive, but one category has been the culprit in holding him back. Bramlett is No. […]
Rob Rose 2 years agoAdam Scott Among The Best Options At Byron Nelson
With a weaker field ahead of the PGA Championship, Adam Scott offers a chance to win this week at TPC Craig Ranch. Scott has been one of the best off the tee this season and has all the short-game skills required to post a bunch of birdies. The irons are what has held Scott back, […]
Rob Rose 2 years agoWhat Min Woo Lee Will Show Up In Texas?
Min Woo Lee has a ton of talent, but it's hard to predict his results in the U.S. Lee was dominant on the DP World Tour before he started playing PGA Tour events in February. He nearly won The Players in his third event, but he struggled down the stretch and then hit a major […]
