Returns to the site of lost opportunity with a similar top-30 drought as this time in 2019. He began last year's finale just two shots off the lead, and then backpedaled into a T23.
Reset after missing the cut in Detroit, but he's all set for membership in 2020-21. Everything until then is a bonus. In 26 rounds on the PGA TOUR this season, he ranks eighth in GIR.
Refuses to rest but why should he with a pair of top 20s in the restart. That includes a T18 at the Memorial where he led the field in putting inside 10 feet (67-for-70).
Got chewed up at Muirfield Village last week, but he connected three top 25s on easier tracks in his three previous starts. Currently 18th on TOUR in greens in regulation.
The streaky 31-year-old missed last year's cut, but he placed T7 at the Workday Charity Open where he ranked second in GIR and T5 in proximity. Also led the field in scrambling.
Not that he's complaining because it has to feel good, but he's played some stressful golf lately. At the same time, the win on the KFT in June also was a relief. T10 last week at Muirfield Village.
Last week's T22 positioned the South African to strike for PGA TOUR membership in 2020-21. Inside the top 10 at the Memorial in GIR, proximity and Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green.
Closed out a T7 here last year with a course-record-tying 62. Since play resumed this summer, the renown ball-striker is 5-for-5 with four top 25s thanks to consistently improved putting.
Flashed terrific putting for the second straight start, this time it yielded at T6 at Memorial. It also keeps alive the possibility for something special for a guy best known as a ball-striker.
The 43-year-old has manufactured what could be classified as a veteran season amid bouts of flat form. Rested after a T7 at the Workday. He's 20th on TOUR in putting: birdies-or-better.
Don't call it a holdout, but the Brit was patient in his return to action during a pandemic. In the last 12 months, he has a win, three seconds, a third, a T4 and a T5 worldwide.
Hard to believe that last week's front-loaded solo eighth was his first top 20 since the playoff loss in Arizona in early February. T3 in greens hit en route to a T23 at last year's 3M Open.
After taking two weeks off post-Travelers triumph, he went 80-80 at Memorial. It's less intense to miss the cut by a million than by one, though. Ranks 16th in putting: birdies-or-better.
Given his profile, the first-time defending champ doesn't project concern despite new distractions and duties. Rebounded for a T22 at Memorial where almost everything was solid.
If time off due to COVID-19 was a bother, it wasn't reflected in a T13 at the Memorial. Nine top 20s this season. So consistently strong throughout his bag and showing no signs of a slump.
