Jordan Smith has won an event on some kind of tour each of the last three years. He needs to make a move to increase that streak to four.

The 25-year-old Englishman has two top-20s and another top-25 in what’s been an otherwise tough sophomore season. Smith burst onto the scene in 2017 with a win at the Porsche European Open and heaps of top-25s.

It’s far too early to write him off, though. Plus in his only start at the Czech Masters Smith made the cut to finish T60.

Smith comes into the week off a week of rest.

He ranks 27th on the European Tour in strokes gained off the tee and 11th in greens in regulation.

Owners out there would prefer it to be Cameron Smith in their lineup instead of Jordan Smith, but this is still a good play this week.
