this guy’s gotten a top 20 finish in 10 of the last 11 events well you’re not going to find that in this field you’re going to find guys that have gotten top 20 finishes and five of the last 11 events or maybe four right right so you got to temper your expectations as far as consistency goes but Maverick McNeely to me is a guy that kind of checks all the right boxes you got form you got kind of skill set and you got results at this tournament previous year so solid form coming in he’s got three top 25 finishes in his last four starts pretty good he also had several good finishes earlier this season he had a couple top 10 at the waist manager Phoenix Open and the players he’s you know he’s got a couple of whatever results in between but again you’re gonna have that with you know the names in this list these aren’t the elite elite players so but he’s got the potential he’s shown that he can play well in Deep Field he’s shown he can play well in putting contest so he’s kind of got that mix where he can uh sneak up on you know any field in any Ty type of course and at least play well will he come through and win obviously that’s a lot to ask but 30 I think is a pretty good number on him to do so his real only weakness unfortunately is his irons uh he but he ranks 21st Strokes gained off the te 12th Strokes gained around the green and 28th Strokes gained putting that’s a pretty solid all-around player right there and because of that he leads or excuse me It All Leads to a 10th ranking in total Strokes gain this season so very solid for a guy that you don’t really think of as a top 10 player uh his data point suggests that he hits the ball and can get on the course as well as those guys but just hasn’t you know doesn’t get the consistent results he owns the 12th best adjusted scoring average this season the 14th highest birdie average and again I think that’s very important this week because you’re gonna have to make him in bunches and finally good results here in this tournament he did not play last year but he finished tie for 18th in 2021 and tie for eth two years ago in 2022 so I like his chances to once again finish in that top 20 or top 10 with all we’re looking for in the outright winner is just that Sunday sweat uh uh to give us a chance come the final round but uh Maverick mcneel I think he’s going to play well take on the outright Market 30 to one feel like you want to back him up maybe on a top 10 or top 20 as well just in case he has that good week but can’t quite shut the door but I like M Maverick mcney this week and need to play well
