Amateur Luke Clanton Making Another PGA Tour Start At TPC Twin Cities
4 months agoIt's been quite the summer for Florida State golfer Luke Clanton. He was nearly the low amateur at the U.S. Open and has since rattled off a top-10 finish, a T2, and a T37 on the regular PGA Tour circuit. If you still have any doubts about the readiness of the next generation of quality players, look at Clanton as a prime example. He's a stud, and whether he wins while still being under the amateur umbrella or after he turns pro, no one will be surprised when he does it. With his four-tournament sample size, his plus-1.443 strokes gained from tee to green would rank fifth on tour, and his plus-1.183 strokes gained off the tee would be the leading tour average. At $11,500 on FanDuel, he is a justifiable pick everywhere until he proves otherwise.
