Xander Schauffele Primed to Ride Gold Medal Wave
3 years agoXander Schauffele pulled off an impressive feat by winning the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics. He comes to Memphis this week on an all-time wave of adrenaline. His ability to scramble out of trouble on the Tokyo course with some timely final-round putting allowed him to hold off the field. So many times in the past, Schauffele had faltered in the final holes but this time, he did not. With his balanced ability metrics-wise (1.881 strokes gained overall -- 3rd), expect the golfer to again be well in contention this weekend. His putting has been around the top ten the past several tournaments and ninth overall this year. Schauffele could be on the precipice of a nice run.
