Denny McCarthy Eyeing First Career Victory At PGA National
10 hours agoDenny McCarthy has been hunting for his first career win in 2025, recording three top-20 finishes to start the year, including a T5 at the Genesis Invitational. He now looks to build on this strong performance at the Cognizant Classic, where he has competed seven times. Although he's missed the cut five times, McCarthy has also posted a T30 in 2022 and a T3 in 2021. He currently ranks 48th in strokes gained on approach (7.605) but sits in just the 45th percentile in greens in regulation from 150-200 yards, a range that accounts for 48.1% of all approach shots at PGA National. He mitigates this by ranking 12th in bogey avoidance and 26th in scrambling. However, off the tee remains McCarthy's biggest struggle, losing 0.103 strokes per round. With PGA National being the fifth-toughest course off the tee, McCarthy will need to improve his first shot if he hopes to claim his first Tour victory. Given his recent form and a $9,300 price tag on DraftKings, McCarthy is likely to be a popular pick this week for fantasy managers.
