If Fowler can improve with his flat stick, his comeback year will continue. Fowler is in the same boat, putting neutral instead of gaining on surfaces he usually produces on. Scottie Scheffler is producing results lacking in the putting category. The underrated part of Fowler’s game is that he’s typically a solid putter, and bentgrass is his best surface. He enters the week with back-to-back top-10 finishes: T6 in the Charles Schwab Challenge and T9 at the Memorial Tournament where he gained eight strokes tee to green in both. Even in a field as strong as this, Fowler is still top 15 in strokes gained tee to green and strokes gained total. Fowler now has 11 top-20 finishes in 13 tournaments this year. He’s been a cash cow and has made my betting card nearly every week. In his last few bentgrass events, Rose has finished T16 or better. Plus, bentgrass is his best putting surface by far.

If I’m looking for an all-around player, Rose has gained strokes from tee to green in seven straight tournaments. After winning the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February (where he shot in the 60s all four rounds), Rose has six top-25 finishes in his last six starts, including T6 in The Players Championship and 8th last week in Canada. Rose is a solid ball striker with a strong short game. Rose came through with a Top 20 last week and I can see him being in contention again this week.
