Byeong Hun An +8500

An struggled last week at the Farmers where he lost an incredible eight strokes putting, a big number even for someone who has historically struggled with the flat stick. The 29 yeard old has historically struggled at Torrey Pines and has had success at the Waste Management Phoenix Open including two top-ten finishes in his last four starts in Arizona.

Last week’s three measured statistical rounds marked the first time that An has lost strokes with his irons since August last year. Byeong Hun An is sneakily one of the longer hitters on tour and he has proved to have a bit more success on Bermuda greens with the putter, the Korean has actually gained on the greens at TPC Scottsdale in two of his last four starts.

I’ll take a chance with him again at the Waste Management Phoenix Open before adding one more to this week’s card in the same range.
