Taylor Montgomery Still Struggling With Long Game
2 years agoThough Taylor Montgomery possesses one of the true elite weapons in the game (third in strokes-gained putting on the PGA Tour), his ball-striking will have to carry some of the weight if he wants to legitimately contend for his first professional win. Unfortunately for Montgomery, his long game has only regressed since his hot run to start his PGA Tour career, as the UNLV alum ranks outside the top 125 in this field in a number of key metrics -- strokes gained on approach, proximity from 200-plus yards, fairways gained and birdie chances created. Until those areas of his game start to progress, we remain very weary of Montgomery's prospects week-to-week.
