Augusta National – Player Overview

Art Mullen - $152,500 (8, T3, MC, DNP)
DL – Average
DA – Average
LI – Good
SI – Great
SG – Average
SP – Mediocre
PA – Good
PS – Good

Art started the season really strong, and he has the type of skills the could do well here, especially if he has a good week of training. His scrambling ability is terrible which will hurt if he gets in trouble, but otherwise Art is well positioned for this event.
Outlook: Challenging for top 5


Harold Finch - $88,333 (MC, T9, T9, DNP)
DL – Very Good
DA – Inadequate
LI – Excellent
SI – Average
SG – Average
SP – Good
PA – Mediocre
PS – Excellent

Finch is another player who could make some noise. His skills are pretty good. It’ll be interesting to see if his ability to judge the speed of putts is enough to overcome his struggles reading the break. If he can putt well this week his ball striking should keep him in contention. He’s another player with terrible ability to scramble, so he’ll need to keep it out of trouble to have a chance.
Outlook: Make the cut, competes for top 10


Chuck Finley - $130,000 (6, MC, T9, DNP)
DL – Mediocre
DA – Good
LI – Poor
SI – Very Good
SG – Great
SP – Good
PA – Good
PS – Poor

Chuck’s poor ability to control the speed on putts and the inability to hit greens with long irons is going to be a problem, but he’s good around the green with wedges so he might be able to come out even. His course management is great but he can’t seem to pull off a clutch shot when it is needed.
Outlook: Fighting to make the cut


Jesse Porter - $215,250 (MC, T3, T15, 2)
DL –Good
DA – Great
LI – Terrible
SI – Great
SG – Very Good
SP – Good
PA – Good
PS – Great

If he can stay away from difficult long iron shots and not force himself to scramble (something he’s terrible at), Porter will potentially make some noise. However, he can’t get distracted, and at this tournament that’s death.
Outlook: Makes the cut


Clinton Jones - $77,583 (15, T14, MC, 10)
DL – Average
DA – Inadequate
LI – Poor
SI – Average
SG – Great
SP – Good
PA – Good
PS – Average

Jones has been solid during the season, but not spectacular and I expect more of the same here.
Outlook: Just makes the cut


Colton Rhodes - $105,750 (20, T17, T4, 19)
DL – Inadequate
DA – Mediocre
LI – Inadequate
SI – Mediocre
SG – Excellent
SP – Very Good
PA – Mediocre
PS – Average

Rhodes is typically very consistent and very focused, but his skills are below average in most areas. He needs a good week of training, but even that is probably insufficient to get him on the first page of the leaderboard.
Outlook: Misses the cut


Dickie Bennett - $15,000 (MC, MC, MC, 15)
DL – Poor
DA – Mediocre
LI – Average
SI – Average
SG – Good
SP – Very Good
PA – Great
PS – Inadequate

Bennett made his first cut last week and that may provide a bit of a lift this week. The short and crooked tee ball will hole him back, and inadequate putting is going to be problematic. But he can scramble well and he’s pretty consistent.
Outlook: Makes the cut


Jimmy Fujita - $290,000 (8, T3, T2, DNP)
DL – Good
DA – Excellent
LI – Very Good
SI – Good
SG – Extraordinary
SP – Terrible
PA – Very Good
PS – Very Good

Fujita is all about the skills and he has arguably the best on tour across the board. However, there is quite a bit of sand on this course, and it does demand focus, consistency, and scrambling and course management and Jimmy is poor in those areas.
Outlook: Top 10 finish


Don Jaily - $0 (DNP, MC, MC, MC)
DL – Masterful
DA – Mediocre
LI – Very Good
SI – Terrible
SG – Terrible
SP – Mediocre
PA – Average
PS – Inadequate

Jaily is all about launching the ball and he can do that with the best of them. Unfortunately, he’s not good once he gets inside 170 yards. Short irons are practically foreign to him, and the wedge is just as strange. He can play a bit out of the sand and all and all he’s an adequate putter but not a good one by any measure. He can make the clutch shot and he can scramble, but he’s inconsistent and unfocused as well, making this a very uphill climb.
Outlook: Misses the cut


Chucky Dawson - $113,750 (DNP, MC, 19, 2)
DL – Poor
DA – Excellent
LI – Terrible
SI – Average
SG – Good
SP – Terrible
PA – Very Good
PS – Good

Coming off a second place finish, but that isn’t going to be enough to overcome terrible long iron and sand play this week. Dawson is almost masterfully consistent but he’s not clutch and he doesn’t scramble well either, so he will most likely battle to make the cut not win the tournament.
Outlook: Makes the cut
