Adam Hadwin Not Cutting It At US Open
Adam Hadwin just is not performing well at tournaments lately and four missed cuts do not help matters. He did finish tied for 8th at the Charles Schwab but there have been too many misses. There was that top-20 at the Farmers Insurance Championship but this version of Torrey Pines will be much tougher. Hadwin […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoChristiaan Bezuidenhout Should Make Cut At US Open
Christian Bezuidenhout will likely not contend at Torrey Pines South but he should lurk around on the weekend. Some of the worries stem from his last US Open where he shot an 82 on Sunday. Does that haunt him at all this weekend? It's a great question. Even at the PGA, he blew up on […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoBilly Horschel Not Recommended At US Open
Billy Horschel is not in good form. The golfer imploded at The Memorial finishing 67th behind a weekend that saw him shoot 82 on Saturday. While Horschel could bounce back, this is not the PGA Championship, it is an even tougher US Open. Before his t-23rd at the PGA, Horschel finished 38th or worse at […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoVictor Hovland's Weekend Play Could Be Trouble At US Open
Victor Hovland has started well in recent tournaments but it is hard to ignore some of the weekends he has endured lately. At the PGA Championship as well as The Memorial, Hovland wilted under the pressure (75-71 and 76-74 respectively). When he is on, Hovland is on. However, too many times we see the golfer […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoShane Lowry Could Come Up Big At US Open
Shane Lowry is one of those golfers that does not jump off the page but finds ways to excel at big tournaments. Last week, he finished tied for sixth at The Memorial. Lowry nabbed a top-five at the PGA Championship. There was that top ten at The Players Championship and even a ninth at the […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoMatt Fitzpatrick Could Amaze Again At US Open
If Matt Fitzpatrick had started a little better last week, he may just have won the Palmetto Championship. As it was, his 69-66 got him to a tie for tenth. Some will argue it was a bit of a backdoor finish but his putting was excellent. Since The Genesis in February, Fitzpatrick has been fairly […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoTony Finau Should Be In The Mix At US Open
Tony Finau is a perennial top-ten machine in majors. A 50% rate is just ridiculous. Also, he finished tied for 8th at last year's US Open. He is another one of those golfers that thrive at Torrey Pines with a slew of top-six finishes. Yes, the golfer has not won a major but again, he […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoAdam Scott Likely Struggles Again At US Open
Adam Scott did finish 16th at The Memorial last week but that 71-73 did little to inspire confidence for what will be a harder US Open course at Torrey Pines South. One cannot have negative strokes gained off the tee this week especially and at -0.103, that is just what Scott has. His putting was […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoPatrick Reed Will Grind His Way Into Contention At US Open
Patrick Reed loves Torrey Pines and Torrey Pines loves him. He won the Farmers Insurance Open in January and has never finished outside the top-25 on the course. A lot of his metrics scream stay away but he finds a way to contend at big tournaments. He finished fifth at The Memorial last week behind […]

Bryson DeChambeau sees a Torrey Pines South Course that should favor him this week for the US Open. The length is majestic but DeChambeau is tops on tour driving the ball at 322.7 yards. His accuracy ranks just 181st but his overall strokes gained is over two which again leads the tour. There is a […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoRory McIlroy Must Drive Ball Accurately To Thrive At US Open
Rory McIlroy can hit a ball a country mile. He ranks second in driving distance at 318.4 yards. However, his just over 55% accuracy is only 173rd. McIlroy has had an up and down Spring, to say the least. He won the Wells Fargo, missed the cut at the Masters, but finished in the top-20 […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoDustin Johnson Expects To Contend At US Open This Week
Dustin Johnson faces a tougher Torrey Pines South course this week. Yes, the Farmers' Insurance Tournament is familiar to many. However, the US Open will set pins and the course much tougher for golfers. The winner of the Masters this year finished sixth in last year's US Open. Johnson faring well in majors not named […]

Chris Wassel 3 years agoPatton Kizzire Has DFS Potential At Congaree
Patton Kizzire did not fare so well last week at The Memorial but most players had some tough weeks. Kizzire finished third twice the previous weeks before. He did not play in the PGA Championship and did look rusty last week. The golfer ranks 12th in putting with 0.625 strokes gained. If his putter gets […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoKevin Kisner May Miss Weekend Once More At Congaree
Kevin Kisner managed to make the cut at the Charles Schwab but has missed the weekend in six out of his last eight tournaments. That includes six-second rounds where he shot above par or well above par. Last week was much better with a 67 but some will argue that was a stroke of luck. […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoDustin Johnson Still One Of The Favorites At Congaree
Dustin Johnson comes in with +750 odds to win the tournament in South Carolina this week. Since barely missing the cut at the PGA Championship (+6), Johnson had a chance to take it easy for a few weeks. The world number one has missed cuts in two consecutive majors. His putter failed him often at […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoSungjae Im Roller Coaster Expected To Continue At Congaree
It is anyone's guess as to what Sungjae Im may do this week at Congaree. One week, Im looks like a world-beater and the next his game plummets rapidly. He has missed the cut in five out of his last eight tournaments entered. That is after 17th place finished a few weeks ago at the […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoTyrrell Hatton Has Some Upside At Congaree
Tyrrell Hatton has the game from tee to green but around the green is a bit suspect. His putting is solid as well. His overall strokes gained ranks 24th at 1.236 and his putting is 51st. That is not too bad. Furthermore, Hatton drives the ball accurately at 64.31%. The expectation is that Hatton will […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoPadraig Harrington Probably Does Not Have A Shot At Congaree
Few could have seen coming what happened at the PGA Championship. Padraig Harrington not only thrived but he was on the front page of the leaderboard Sunday afternoon and evening. In the end, he finished tied for fourth and stunned many. The 49-year old looked like he was in his 30's again. The inevitable question […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoCole Hammer Enters Congaree With Something To Prove
Cole Hammer had a rough month at Texas. The Texas Longhorns were expected to contend for a national title but the Arizona course hammered his team and him in particular. He made just eight birdies on the week en route to a +15. Hammer expects to remain an amateur for next year at least. After […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoLucas Glover's Putter May Fail Him At Congaree
Lucas Glover has a nice golf game for the most part but his putting this year is not the same. He ranks 136th putting with a strokes gain of -0.118. The problem with the golfer is finding that consistency. Glover finished 8th at the Charles Schwab and then just 37th at the Memorial last week. […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoTommy Fleetwood Again Not Expected To Factor In At Congaree
It has been a difficult few months for Tommy Fleetwood. He finished fifth at the WGC Match Play but missed the cut at The Players Championship and then The PGA Championship. Fleetwood is 4th around the green on tour at nearly 0.6 strokes gained but that negative rating when it comes to putting is problematic. […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoMatt Fitzpatrick Needs Putter And Short Game Working At Congaree
Matt Fitzpatrick is one of the best putters in the sport. He ranks 19th overall in putting at 0.54 strokes gained. His strokes gained as a hole rank 18th (1.345). In his last four tournaments, Fitzpatrick missed the cut twice but also has a 23rd and a 4th. When his short-game and putting go erratic, […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoHarris English Could Turn Things Around At Congaree
Harris English had a tough tournament at Kiawah Island two weeks ago. He barely made the cut and fought hard just to finish 64th at +8. He is one of those golfers that can produce some very good results. English finished 4th at the US Open last year and won the Sentry Open to start […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoRafa Cabrera Bello Could Have Rough Time At Congaree
At least Rafa Cabrera Bello can putt decently. He has been around the top-50 in putting all season. Despite that, he does not have a single top-20 finish this year on the PGA Tour. One good thing is his results in the last three weeks (21st, 32nd, and 37th). There is progress. The firm and […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoByeong Hun An May Miss Another Cut At Congaree
Byeong Hun-An has performed poorly, to say the least in 2021. He is 162nd in the FedEx Cup Standings. The golfer has one top-ten finish at The American Express. Every other result is 35th or worse. He drives the ball okay at almost 300 yards, but his overall strokes gained are an abysmal -0.76 (176th […]
