Nick Borrman<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nBen An made a strong return to the PGA Tour last season after losing his card in 2022. He especially kicked it into high gear in late summer finishing T3 at the Scottish Open and a T2 at the Wyndham Championship with a T23 at The Open sandwiched in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Oddly though, he took the entire fall season off from competition. After the BMW Championship, his next start on any Tour came in Hawaii at The Sentry where he finished solo 4th, then followed that up with a T2 at the Sony Open. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
He wasn\u2019t as strong last week at Pebble finishing T31, losing strokes Off the Tee which snapped a streak of 17th straight starts gaining strokes off the tee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m banking on that being just an anomaly as the guy absolutely bombs it with his driver and this course has been known to reward long hitters with past champions including Scottie Scheffler, Brooks Koepka, Gary Woodland and Phil Mickelson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
In addition to bombing it, An is riding a hot putter as well, as he has gained strokes putting in eight of hist last nine starts. He is the motto: \u201cDrive for show AND Putt for dough.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Finally, An has played this event five times, making the cut in all five, which four finishes of T23 or better including a solo 6th and a T9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Phoenix Open Top-20 Finish: J.T. Poston +145 (Bet365)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Back to the well on Postman, which until it doesn\u2019t cash, I\u2019ll keep riding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Poston missed the cut here last year, but had solid finishes of T23 and T11 in the previous two seasons and has made the cut in four of five starts overall. But as we have talked about before, this is not the same Poston as in year\u2019s past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
J.T. has been fantastic as he has finished in the Top-25 in 11 of his last 13 starts dating back to the John Deere Classic in July. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
He slogged through Pebble Beach last week finishing exactly T20 and played in each of the first three events of 2024 finishing T5, 6th and T11. So, he is a perfect 4-for-4 with Top-20 finishes this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Poston\u2019s weakness is with his driver as he\u2019s not long, nor super accurate for that matter, but his approach game is strong, gaining strokes in 11 of his last 12 starts and his putting is lights out, gaining strokes in 13 straight starts where he ranks #1 in this field in SG Putting over the last six months. Ride the hot hand with the J.T. again this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
See you next week for The Genesis Invitational!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
