3 years agoCorey Conners has been one of the premier ball-strikers on tour the last two seasons. He has gained over 0.26 strokes off the tee per round in every start so far in 2022. His iron play typically gains more strokes than his driver, but he has lost 0.57 and 0.45 strokes per round on approach in his last two starts. Conners' short game grades out as slightly above-average, which means he relies heavily on his ball-striking to succeed on tour. Returning to Bay Hill -- where he has gained over 0.65 strokes on approach in his three starts -- he will need to replicate his impressive history if he wants to contend this week.--Byron Lindeque
