Erik Van Rooyen Looking For Sustained Success At PGA National
2 months agoErik Van Rooyen has not started 2025 on the right foot, missing three cuts and finishing inside the top 30 just once in his first six events. He now shifts his focus to the Cognizant Classic, an event he has played in four times, with his best result being a T2 in 2024. In that strong performance, Van Rooyen found a lot of success with his putter, gaining nearly 7.7 strokes. This is a category where he has struggled so far this year, losing 2.972 strokes and ranking 123rd in strokes gained in putting. Another area of concern is Van Rooyen's par-four scoring, where he averages 4.01 strokes per hole, ranking 103rd on tour. However, Van Rooyen has the potential to find success on approach, ranking in the 83rd percentile for proximity from 150-200 yards, a range that accounts for 48.1% of all approach shots at PGA National. Additionally, he has gained 5.904 total strokes on approach and ranks 11th in proximity from 125-150 yards, which makes up 17.2% of the approach shots at this course. At $7,100 on DraftKings, fantasy managers should carefully weigh their options, but this could be a good spot for Van Rooyen to get back on track.
