I’m circling in on Michael Kim this week and for those uh on X formally Twitter uh he is the best golf follow on Twitter I mean he he he posts you know pretty much daily on just what it’s like to be a PJ Tour player and things he’s working
On a swing what it’s like to travel around all the grinds that most players will go through not the elite but guys of his caliber he’s great so if you don’t follow him on Twitter do so but I think he’s got a real shot to win this
Week Andy and and hear me out again what did I say in the beginning of the show it’s it’s about potential right you’re not going to find crazy statistics that jump off the page here but he arrives in pretty good form especially compared to this field he’s got four top 25 finishes
In his last eight starts he did finish as high as Ty for six last month at the American Express his irons is what I like this week they’ve been solid he’s gain Strokes on approach in six straight measured events I say that because there was two events that he played in that
Weren’t measured so I guess I technically don’t know uh how he did with his irons those particular weeks but six straight measured events he also ranks sixth in this field in Strokes gain approach over the last six months and again months excuse me and again we mentioned that’s important because this
Course has proven to be very difficult when it comes to proximity to the hole with nobody hitting it close here uh on average at least last few years that’s the case that also I believe puts a preum premium on putting and Kim is solid in that area as well Andy and I
Know you love looking at putting statistics he ranks 13 in the field and strokes gained putting over the last six months so there isn’t much course history to look at obviously but he did play here last year he finished a respectable tie for 30th uh on the heels
Of both a strong short game and a hot putter so if he can add his irons this year which he is doing well right now and continue that Putter and maybe that short game that’s a recipe for success and I think it’s going to keep him in
The mix uh again when you’re looking at these type of numbers I’m just looking for somebody that’s going to be in the mix on Sunday uh because we like those Sunday sweats but Michael Kim 60 to1 I think is actually pretty good uh long shot for us to to play this week
