Almost like deja vu, Justin Rose returned to competition last week sporting an unfamiliar name to the golfing scene, especially the hard goods portion of it. And, just like the last time he switched to a niche company outside the mainstream, it didn't look good. It was arguably more from his chipping and putting, but posting an even 0.00 strokes gained on approach is a steep fall from what we've seen from him most of the year. His long history at Quail Hollow holds a few good memories and finishes, but what sticks out more in the metrics is the putting woes he's experienced here. The 45-year-old has only gained strokes on the greens four times in 11 events played. The uncertainty with the new additions in the bag and his clear struggle on these putting surfaces make him a hard sell this week. There aren't many places Rosey can't get things done, but this track feels as close to that possibility as any other venue on tour.

The muscle behind Si Woo Kim's golf game flourished this past week in Miami, as he led the field in strokes gained around the green (1.19) and ranked fifth in strokes gained on approach (1.40). It's certainly quite the recipe to be a top-five long iron player at a course that forces many players to hit a ton of them, but also be able to get up and down from anywhere if needed, much like what is on deck this week at Quail Hollow. Over 40% of approaches in last year's PGA Championship--where Kim finished T8--came from over 200 yards. There doesn't seem to be anything that could stand in his way this week, outside of the always turbulent putter. Nonetheless, he's one of the more intriguing DFS plays of the week, but beware of outrageous ownership.

It was a quiet week on the greens for Sam Burns at Doral, as gaining at least four strokes putting seems to be the only way he can find himself on the first page of leaderboards, despite having decent ball-striking metrics. He'll have a chance to rectify his flat stick woes this week in Charlotte, where he has finished inside the top-20 in his last two events played at Quail Hollow. The former LSU Tiger has all the length needed, but the real concern lies with his long iron play, as he is middle of the pack in terms of strokes gained per shot from 200 yards or more (-0.002). However, that hasn't prevented him from scoring at other venues similar in approach lengths. Burns has shown comfort on these greens in the past, so look for last week's struggle to be a blip on the radar.

After going wire-to-wire last week at Doral, all eyes are on Cameron Young as we approach the year's second major. First up, however, is this week's Truist Championship at Quail Hollow. It's one of the more coveted layouts on the PGA Tour, but not one that has particularly jived with the reigning Players Champion thus far. In three events, including a major, the 28-year-old's best finish is a T34. However, it's easy to see that the current state of his game isn't even in the same galaxy as prior seasons. He's the fifth-ranked player on tour in strokes gained from tee to green (1.366) this season, which is attributed more to the superb ball striking than anything he does around the green. He obviously isn't very gassed from his time at Doral, so there's no reason to think he won't be ready to jump back in the mix again this week.
