Augusta National – Player Overview

Will Robie - $65,500 (17, 13, T12, MC)
DL – Average
DA – Inadequate
LI – Excellent
SI – Very Good
SG – Very Good
SP – Inadequate
PA – Good
PS – Great

Robie has been in 3 of the 4 weekends so far, but he’s never really been a factor. Players will tell you he has great skills pretty much across the board, but he is terrible at scrambling, he can be inconsistent in his swing and play, and he never seems to make the clutch shot when he needs to.
Outlook: Makes the cut but finishes towards the bottom of the leaderboard


Branch Connally - $37,500 (10, MC, MC, MC)
DL – Good
DA – Mediocre
LI – Average
SI – Excellent
SG – Average
SP – Average
PA – Great
PS – Poor

Connally is entering this tournament on a cold streak and that’s not a good thing, add to that poor ability to judge the speed of puts and poor understanding of how to play risk/reward holes along with a surprising lack of focus and you can see why the struggling has occurred. I believe he can get on a roll and play well, just not this week.
Outlook: Misses the cut.


Ray Kowalski - $55,000 (MC, DNP, T6, MC)
DL – Average
DA – Excellent
LI – Good
SI – Mediocre
SG – Good
SP – Poor
PA – Excellent
PS – Good

Only 1 good round out of 3 for Ray, but he looks like he could be a factor here. He can put, he can get off the tee and he’s not bad with the short game. However, like Robie he doesn’t scramble well and he never seems to make the clutch shot.
Outlook: Fighting to make the cut


Archie Goodwin $423,750 (12, 1, DNP, 6)
DL – Good
DA – Mediocre
LI – Average
SI – Very Good
SG – Poor
SP – Excellent
PA – Terrible
PS – Mediocre

Archie has won once and made the cut in all three events he participated. However, his skills aren’t a good match for these small fast greens. I have to believe his terrible putting and poor short game will ultimately do him in.
Outlook: Fights to make the cut


Isaac Bell - $156,749 (3, T14, DNP, MC)
DL – Inadequate
DA – Excellent
LI – Good
SI – Poor
SG – Great
SP – Good
PA – Good
PS – Average

Bell started the season great but he was poor last week shooting a 75 to open the round. His skills indicate he could do well here this week. The inadequate length off the tee isn’t a killer, and he can put and chip. His biggest concern is probably his inconsistency. If he can keep it together and not get sloppy with his swing he could be looking at a strong week.
Outlook: Very possible top 10.


John Puller - $24,500 (20, DNP, 14, MC)
DL – Great
DA – Good
LI – Terrible
SI – Inadequate
SG – Very Good
SP – Poor
PA – Very Good
PS – Good

Puller has too many holes in his game to be a factor. Great off the tee, but poor with irons in his hand. Can chip, but can’t get out of the sand. He can putt which could save him a time or two, but his focus is typically poor and that will lead to drop shots.
Outlook: Misses the cut


Tommy Phan - $0 (MC, DNP, MC, MC)
DL – Average
DA – Average
LI – Great
SI – Good
SG – Poor
SP – Inadequate
PA – Terrible
PS – Great

Tommy is one of two players to not make a cut yet this season. He’s actually a better player than his scores would lead you to believe. He is known to be smart, focuses and clutch, but extremely inconsistent and not a good scrambler. Add to that the terrible job of reading greens and you begin to see why he’s struggled. If he can keep it together this week he might make his first cut. His ball striking is good enough for that.
Outlook: Fights for the cut but comes up short.


Malcolm Reynolds - $146,416 (3, T17, DNP, MC)
DL – Extraordinary
DA – Good
LI – Poor
SI – Average
SG – Poor
SP – Mediocre
PA – Very Good
PS – Average

Malcolm’s short game and long iron play will be difficult to over come here. Unlike the 5Cs where he was able to work around his limitations. Combine the poor short game with a poor ability to scramble and you could have a recipe for disaster.
Outlook: Misses the cut


Amos Decker - $50,083 (12, T14, MC, MC)
DL – Inadequate
DA – Poor
LI – Poor
SI – Inadequate
SG – Poor
SP – Very Good
PA – Mediocre
PS – Good

Decker is known more for his intangibles as he is known to have excellent focus, and is great with clutch, course management, and scrambling ability, but his skills are sub-par and I don’t think you can win Augusta without better skills
Outlook: Misses the cut


Jason Bly - $300,000 (MC, DNP, MC, 1)
DL – Extraordinary
DA – Great
LI – Inadequate
SI – Great
SG – Inadequate
SP – Good
PA – Poor
PS – Poor

Bly is coming off a win, but his lack of putting ability will be a huge factor here. So much so that I’m not sure his driver play and short iron approaches can make up the difference
Outlook: Misses the cut
