Davis Riley Dependent On Short Game At Valero
3 years agoDavis Riley lost to Sam Burns in a playoff at the Valspar two weeks ago. He found himself in a playoff courtesy of his short game that gained him 12 strokes on the field. Riley's statistical profile is highlighted by his length and accuracy off the tee, an area of his game he has gained the most strokes on throughout his maiden PGA Tour season. He has yet to gain more than 0.24 total strokes with his irons in any of his last six starts, though, putting a lot of pressure on his driver and putter to bail him out. TPC Antonio demands impressive iron play, which Riley may not be able to produce this week.
