Kyle Stanley Looking to Continue Steady Play at CIMB Classic
6 years agoKyle Stanley will be teeing it up for the fourth time in six years at the CIMB Classic. In the American's previous three trips to Malaysia, he has posted top-33 finishes each season but has failed to record a result better than a share of 19th place in any of those tournaments. The one significant distinction this season to years past is that TPC Kuala Lumpur has changed their greens and fairways from Paspalum grass to Bermuda grass, a change that might directly affect Stanley. In the last 50 rounds on Bermuda greens, the 30-year-old grades out 66th out of 78 players in strokes gained-putting. Stanley's propensity to find fairways will help him in Malaysia, but his upside does seem to be capped until he can figure out his putting stroke on Bermuda greens.
