Brendan Todd May Have Some Upside at British Open
3 years agoBrendan Todd does not hit the ball long but he hits it straight. Todd tops the PGA Tour in driving accuracy at 75.2%. He also gains 0.792 strokes while putting which ranks second. What are the problems then? Simply, the American golfer has to get to the green to make the putts. Greens in regulation are just around 64% which is outside the top-125. Also, his strokes gained from tee to green is -0.333. Links golf may be a bit better tailored for his abilities as opposed to courses like the John Deere Classic, etc. Again, if he can just play it straight and narrow, Todd could easily get to the weekend.
