3 years agoMax Homa gained six strokes on approach at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and he's now gained strokes on approach in five consecutive events. With his irons peaking heading into the week, he fits the narrative that great recent iron play is a necessity to win The Players Championship. His T17 finish at the API included his first negative putting performance in six starts, with positive regression expected on the smooth TPC Sawgrass greens. With four top-20s in his last five starts, his overall game seems to be gaining momentum at the perfect time to take down the biggest first-place payout in tour history.--Byron Lindeque
