A west coast kid like Patrick Cantlay should be accustomed to this week’s playing surfaces.

He fared well on kikuyua and poa en route to contending at the Genesis Open en route to a T4 a couple weeks ago.

There’s no cut this week, but if there was, Cantlay would make it. The 25-year-old has made 14 in a row dating back to last season. In that span, Cantlay won his first PGA Tour event at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.

Cantlay is coming off of a week of rest, allowing himself time to accustom to the altitude and new terrain at Chapultepec as he makes his WGC-Mexico debut.

Cantlay’s established himself as one of the premier ball strikers in the game. He was near the top of the field in birdies made at the Genesis, and is deadly if his putter’s rolling.

The win in Las Vegas in the silly season was nice, but this talent should begin to get into contention at big-time events like this.
