With 1 swing, Max Homa entered the PGA Tour record book Saturday

Rory McIlroy may have set the PGA Tour driving distance record last season, but in 2024, Max Homa is the PGA Tour’s biggest hitter.

With conditions ripe for huge drives at Kapalua this week, already leading to 220 400-yard drives through three rounds at the Sentry , Homa unleashed a poke for the record books Saturday.

On the 7th hole — his 16th of the day — Homa ripped one on the 525-yard downhill par-4 that rolled, and rolled, and rolled before finishing just 43 yards from the hole. The bomb measured out to 477 yards, the longest in the PGA Tour’s Shotlink era (since 2003). It just edges out Davis Love III’s 476 drive on the 18th of the final round at the 2004 event at Kapalua.

Can confirm from @PGATOURComms that @Maxhoma ’s drive on 7 yesterday was the longest drive of the Shotlink era https://t.co/dBXB0QtH3M — Jack Hirsh (@JR_HIRSHey) January 7, 2024

Unfortunately, Homa started the third round Saturday T23 and in the first group of the day on the 10th tee, so there was no video on the NBC or ESPN+ broadcasts of the record drive. Nor did the PGA Tour have a radar device on the 7th tee at the time so we do not know the launch statistics for the tee shot.

Nevertheless, it’s not hard to figure out how Homa was able to accomplish the feat as the 7th, which is already significantly downhill from tee-to-green, played downwind too during the third round. In fact, the average drive in the 59-man field Saturday on the hole went 406.3 yards, the longest of any hole at the Plantation course. No drive went less than 338 yards on No. 7.

Stats (and huge drives) reveal why Kapalua is one of the most unique courses on Tour

That’s all despite Homa being just the 62nd-ranked golfer in driving distance last season with a 304.8 average. McIlroy set a PGA Tour record for driving distance last season at 326.3 yards.

While the USGA is focused on rolling back the golf ball , it was simple gravity that led to the record-breaking tee ball.

Anyway, in classic Max Homa-form, the 33-year-old wise guy had a little fun with the achievement on Twitter.

For it being uphill into the wind with no roll I was pretty proud of this one https://t.co/3UXfT97tFB — max homa (@Maxhoma) January 7, 2024

“For it being uphill into the wind with no roll,” Homa tweeted, likely sarcastically, “I was pretty proud of this one.”

In addition to being the longest drive on No. 7, Homa’s tee shot was also just one of 13 (22%) to stay in the fairway Saturday. The fairway slopes hard from left to right and many drives Saturday caught a bunker — or the rough around it — that is just 420 yards off the tee. The fairway necks around 430 yards from the tee.

They say, “Drive for show, putt for dough,” but Homa made good on his mammoth tee ball by getting the flip wedge up and down. His pitch ended up less than four feet from the hole and he converted for his fourth birdie of the day.

Homa added another birdie on 8 and parred the ninth to post a five-under 68. He’ll start the final round T17 at 15 under, six shots behind leader Chris Kirk.

The Longest Golf Drive Ever: Details Behind the Record Bomb

• DESCRIPTION golf course green

If records are meant to be broken, nobody bothered alerting the PGA Tour’s big bombers. With constant advances in driver technology and an added emphasis on driving distance by today’s top professionals, it stands to reason that the world record for the longest drive ever hit on the PGA Tour would be in constant jeopardy.

On the contrary, the record 515-yard drive has stood for nearly 50 years. If you think that’s shocking, wait until you learn the details.

Longest Recorded PGA Tour Drive - 515 Yards

On Sept. 25, 1974, at the age of 64, Mike Austin rocketed a 515-yard drive on a 450 yard par-4 using a steel-shafted, 43.5-inch persimmon driver and balata ball while competing in the U.S. National Seniors Open Championship at Desert Rose Resort, Las Vegas. Weather and altitude played a role in Austin's 515-yard drive. Weather reports for the day report potential hot tailwinds of up to 35 mph. The Las Vegas course is at an altitude of over 2,000 feet above sea level. Despite these advantages, it is important to remember Austin was using a wooden club and a balata ball, both of which have been replaced by more technologically advanced equipment time and time again over the last several decades.

The closest drive at a PGA Tour event since then occurred in 2004 with much more modern equipment, Davis Love III's respectable 476 yarder at the Mercedes Championship.

Ideal Conditions

Austin took advantage of ideal conditions. To hit a drive 515 yards with any equipment requires some elements to fall in your favor.

The best conditions for the long ball are hot, dry areas. The air thickens in cooler temperatures, creating more resistance to ball flight. Playing at altitude also helps add distance as the thin air provides less resistance than air closer to sea level.

This leaves Las Vegas as an ideal place to set the record for the PGA Tour’s longest-ever drive. The average high temperature in Las Vegas in September is 96 degrees, with just one day of rain, on average, during the month. At approximately 2,030 feet above sea level, the altitude was also in Austin’s favor.

Austin's Unconventional Swing

Austin's secret, as he said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, is his use of physics. Austin applied his undergraduate degree in physics and his doctoral in kinesiology to his swing. The result, Austin said, was something you wouldn't see PGA pros emulate today because his swing relied more on the uniformity of muscle movement rather than raw strength and power. It's also worth noting that despite his impressive drive, he still recorded a bogey on the hole.

Other Long Drive Records

Austin’s long drive has stood atop the record books for nearly five decades, but other golfers have etched their names on some different driving-distance records.

Longest Driving Average

Bryson DeChambeau holds the record for the longest average drive distance in a PGA Tour season, at 322.1 yards during the 2019-20 season.

Longest Hole-in-One on the PGA Tour

The longest hole-in-one in PGA Tour history measured 332 yards when Andrew Magee aced the Par-4 17th hole at TPC Scottsdale in the first round of the 2001 Phoenix Open on January 25, 2001.

An Otherworldly Drive - 1 Million Miles

If you want to be literal about the longest drive ever recorded, you'd have to give it to American astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria, although he did have an unfair advantage. Using a six-iron, Lopez-Alegria struck a ball one-handed while tethered to the International Space Station in 2004. NASA predicts the ball will fly approximately 1 million miles before disintegrating into Earth's atmosphere.

How Far PGA Tour Players Carry Their Drives

What's the average carry of a PGA Tour player's drive, and how might that change in the future?

• Sign up to Golf Monthly Newsletter Newsletter

The driving distance debate is one that stubbornly refuses to go away… although that’s something governing bodies the USGA and The R&A are probably hoping will change within a few years.

That’s because they have confirmed golf ball rollback plans that will see driving distances reduced at every level of the game, starting in 2028 in the professional game and from 2030 elsewhere. But how far do PGA Tour players currently carry their drives, and how will the changes affect the numbers?

Carry distance is an important stat to know, but why? Well, it’s one thing to know how far your drives have travelled after the ball has come to a stop, but if you’re weighing up potential problems ahead from the tee box, such as water, bunkers or rough, carry distance is the priority.

According to figures released by Trackman, which also show how far PGA Tour players hit every club in the bag , players on the circuit carry their drives an average 275 yards. 

That's over nine yards more than in 2007, when the PGA Tour began keeping carry distance records. Back then, the average carry distance was 265.7 yards. As with driving distances on the PGA Tour , that has increased over the years, but it won't stay on that trajectory indefinitely, because of the changes coming in 2028. 

That will see the game’s longest hitters lose between 13 and 15 yards of their total driving distance. However, the average elite male player will not be as affected and can expect a reduction of between nine and 11 yards. Naturally, this will have an effect on carry distance, too. 

Of course, the very longest hitters and average elite players are all part of the overall Trackman average, but it’s probably safe to assume that the average carry distance after the rollback will be around 10 yards shorter, or approximately 265 yards - in other words, somewhere close to the 2007 level.

But what about the biggest hitter? After all, the further a player drives the ball, the more distance he will lose after the rollback. According to the PGA Tour website, Rory McIlroy , a key figure who supports the change , is at the top of the list for the 2022/23 season with an average driving distance of 326.3 yards.

Rory McIlroy supports the golf ball rollback plan

Let’s say that average comes down by the top figure given by the governing bodies once the change comes in – 15 yards. That will reduce his average driving distance to 311.3 yards, or a 4.5% hit.

McIlroy’s average carry distance for the same season is 307.4 yards and 4.5% of that is 13.8 yards. That means his carry distance could come down to around 293.6 yards after the rollback.

Procore Championship picks 2024: Can this former PGA Tour ROY finally break through?

Some offseason, huh?

Hey, we're not complaining, especially when you consider how hot we were to finish the regular season and the Playoffs. We'd like to keep that hot hand going during the FedEx Cup Fall, starting with this week's Procore Championship, otherwise known as the Fortinet. Or the Safeway. Or the Frys.com. Hell, let's just call it "the one in Napa."

The Golf Digest betting panel is comprised of a caddie reporting anonymously from the grounds of Silverado, Pat Mayo of Underdog/Mayo Media Network, Brandon Gdula of numberFire/FanDuel, Andy Lack of RunPureSports.com, your two authors and Keith Stewart, the CEO of Read The Line. Stewart, our newest member of the panel, is our new betting content partner as well.

Procore Championship picks 2024: Our Experts’ Outright Predictions  

Anonymous Caddie Picker of the week : Corey Conners (16-1, Bet365) — The Canadian has had a consistent last few months, and he has a great chance to pay that off with a victory on a course where his accuracy off the tee and consistent approach play will be rewarded. He’s motivated to keep the pedal down at this time of the year to enter the Presidents Cup as a win and be looked at as a leader in Canada.

Pat Mayo, Underdog/Fantasy National, Mayo Media Network analyst : Keith Mitchell (40-1, Bet365) — Mitchell ranks first tee-to-green in the field over the past 24 rounds. But it’s the same story as every week with Killah Keith: Will he make enough putts to cross the finish line? Amazingly, he gained 3.3 on the greens at Sedgefield his last time out. Problem is, he hasn’t gained with his putter in consecutive starts since the 2023 Wells Fargo/PGA Championship. But there’s a path to victory for Mitchell – Brendan Steele, Cameron Champ and Kevin Tway, all former winners in Napa, all just mashed the field tee-to-green and gained three or fewer strokes putting in their wins.

Brandon Gdula, FanDuel/numberFire managing editor : Sahith Theegala (12-1, FanDuel) — I think Theegala can go back-to-back at Silverado. He led the Tour Championship in strokes-gained/approach, he rates out as a plus baseline putter from within 15 feet, and he is better on bent and poa than on Bermuda greens. This all checks out for the President Cup member, whose trajectory is continuing to go up.

Keith Stewart, Read The Line: Maverick McNealy (22-1, BetRivers) — The Stanford standout is having a very well-rounded 2024 campaign. Known for his putter, McNealy has really improved his ball-striking. Since returning from injury last Fall, he has eight top 25s. The driver has really become a weapon to go alongside his flat stick. Mav was the runner-up at Silverado in 2021 to Max Homa and very comfortable on California courses. What better way to cap a great run than with a win. An excellent par-4 player, McNealy is top 10 in the field for birdie-or-better percentage and putting prowess on Poa annua greens. Take that cash complement of characteristics straight to the ticket window.

Stephen Hennessey, Golf Digest dep. managing editor : Eric Cole (45-1, FanDuel) — It requires hot approach play and a hot putter to win in Napa. Cole can get as hot as anybody in each category. It’s a club-down course, which plays into Cole’s hands. He proved that with a top-five finish last year at this event. Cole’s been trending toward a win the past few years, and this is an ideal spot to do it.

Christopher Powers, Golf Digest senior writer : Eric Cole (45-1, FanDuel) — Will Cole win? Probably not, he never does. But I’m not prepared to quit him at 40-1 in a weak field after his strong run to end the regular season. Cole has gained on approach in six of the last seven and the worst club in his bag, the driver, is mitigated at the short North Course at Silverado.

Andy Lack, Run Pure Sports and Inside Golf podcast : Eric Cole (45-1, FanDuel) — If there is ever a spot for Eric Cole to breakthrough for his first PGA Tour victory, Silverado is it. The 36-year-old finished fourth at this event last year, and his elite combination of wedge play and putting inside 15 feet will continue to pay dividends in Napa.

Past results: The panel is SCORCHING hot. Brandon Gdula picked up his first outright win of the year at the FedEx St. Jude, correctly predicting Hideki Matsuyama’s victory at 25-1. The week before that, Stephen Hennessey and Christopher Powers both nailed Aaron Rai’s win at the Wyndham at 35-1, giving them each three outright winners in 2024. Before that, it was Pat Mayo cashing in on Scottie Scheffler’s gold medal at the Olympics (+400) for his third outright this year.

Procore Championship picks 2024: Sleepers/Dark Horses Who Could Win  

Caddie: Daniel Berger (125-1, Caesars Sportsbook) — Berger is back with confidence this week in Napa, knowing his game’s in a good place for a strong fall to secure his card. He hasn’t contended since his return, so he still needs those reps, but he can rely on muscle memory once he gets there.

Mayo : Nick Hardy (150-1, BetMGM) — Top five in ball-striking in the short term, sitting 16th in Opportunities Gained (Putts for eagle/birdie from inside 20 feet), and 34th in driving distance. He’s simply been putting himself out of tournaments. Basically, load up with enough of these great tee-to-green players who are terrible on the greens and pray one of them has a decent putting week.

Gdula: Mac Meissner (50-1, FanDuel) — Meissner is a player to keep your eyes on in the Fall. His irons are translating to the PGA Tour. He’s gained on approach in eight of his last 10 PGA Tour starts and in six straight. He’s also finished top 20 in four of his last five starts on the tour.

Stewart: Mac Meissner (50-1, FanDuel) — Most haven’t heard of Mac Meissner. The Korn Ferry star has stood out as an exceptional ball-striker in his rookie PGA Tour season. Meissner has six top 20s since April and can seriously go low. Mac finished fourth at the Barracuda in July. Over his last five starts, Meissner is gaining three strokes against the field with his approach game (on average). That level of proximity presents tons of birdie chances and he’s recently been trending with the putter. This top-10 flusher is going to have a great Fall, get on him now.

Hennessey, Golf Digest: Nick Taylor (80-1, FanDuel) — It surprised many that Nick Taylor was left off this year’s Presidents Cup team in Canada. I’m sure it has motivated him to prove he should be on this team. I think it’s worth backing him with that extra motivation. He also has a sixth-place and a 10th-place finish his past four starts in Napa, so it’s a course that suits his game.

Powers, Golf Digest: Kevin Kisner (1,000-1, Bet365) — You can laugh it up, but Kiz, in between TV stints, gained with his irons in consecutive starts at the 3M Open and the Wyndham Championship. That’s something he hasn’t done in two years. He’s also gained with his putter in eight of his last nine, which is hardly surprising as that’s his money-making club. Wedge play and putting is the recipe in Napa. You got a buck lying around to win $1,000? I spent $12 on coffee this morning. I can stomach a George Washington on Kiz in a poor field on one of the handful of courses on earth he could still maybe hang on.

Lack: Andrew Putnam (90-1, FanDuel) — Similar to Eric Cole, Andrew Putnam possesses the ideal combination of wedge play and putting, and the 35-year-old has gained over six strokes on approach in two of his last three starts. Putnam’s upside with his irons makes him one of my favorite value plays on the board.

Procore Championship picks 2024: Players We’re Fading  

Caddie: Max Homa (25-1, FanDuel) — It wouldn’t surprise me to see Homa show flashes in a familiar setting, but he’s shown that he can’t put four rounds together since the spring. I’d need to see that before backing him at these odds.

Mayo : Maverick McNealy (20-1, FanDuel) — You want to give me Mav at double or triple this price, then sure. But as one of the favorites, no thanks.

Gdula: Max Homa (25-1, FanDuel) — Homa’s irons were great at the BMW Championship, but his driver was still off, and the putter was cold. There are a lot of issues with his game right now, and while he’s won here twice and played well, that’s got his odds way too short for what they deserve to be.

Stewart: Max Homa (25-1, FanDuel) — Max Homa is ranked 138th in the Procore field for strokes-gained/off-the-tee. There are only 144 players in this field. Homa’s struggles with the driver are well documented and have caused issues to creep into other parts of his game. Over his last five starts, Max is losing over five strokes to the field. Homa recently switched coaches and must get his game in order for the Presidents Cup. There’s no doubt Max will come back, but for now I’ll pass and wait for a couple signs of positive form.

Hennessey, Golf Digest: Max Homa (25-1, FanDuel) — Homa’s best result since May is a 22nd-place finish. We realize Napa is a successful place for Homa, but you need to take a leap of faith that his ball-striking and putting have improved in just a few weeks. That’s why his odds have skyrocketed in from the opener at DraftKings to currently being 28-1.

Powers, Golf Digest: Corey Conners (14-1, DraftKings) — Conners’ weakness is putting, and his worst surface is poa. That’s an instant no for me dawg at 14-1.

Lack: Maverick McNealy (20-1, FanDuel) — I am just as enamored by Maverick McNealy as anyone else, but I cannot justify this robust price tag. McNealy is still a very questionable wedge player and overall ball-striker, and he will need to rely on elite putting to contend.

Procore Championship picks 2024: Matchups  

Caddie: Tom Hoge (-139) over Harris English (Bet365) — A course that deemphasizes distance, makes you hit fairways and pepper greens should suit Hoge’s game. Even if he can’t putt, he should find the weekend, whereas English can get wild off the tee and plays his best golf on tougher, more demanding layouts.

Mayo : Eric Cole (+110) over J.J. Spaun (Bet365) — Cole made it all the way to the penultimate event in the playoffs before coming up just short in Denver. Looking deeper, Cole ended the year with three straight top 10s in the last three non-elevated fields/non-majors, while gaining with his irons in six of his final seven overall. This field certainly isn’t setting records for field strength. He was fourth at Silverado last year too, a course which has been sticky for history.

Gdula: Luke Clanton (-115) over J.J. Spaun (FanDuel) — Clanton is nearly a shot per round better than Spaun over the last six months once adjusted for field strength, according to datagolf, and he’s a substantially better ball-striker in that span.

Stewart: Matt Kuchar (-105) over Doug Ghim (BetMGM) — Matt Kuchar made a serious playoff run at the end of the season. Kuchar gained an average of five strokes on the field over his last five events. Twelfth at Wyndham and third at 3M, Matt now heads to Silverado where he finished seventh and 12th the last two years. Doug Ghim also has two top 20s in Napa over his last four starts. The dilemma for Doug is the putter. A faulty flat stick has kept him from finishing inside that top 20 since the Players in March. Continue with Kuch to take down Ghim at the Procore Championship.

Hennessey, Golf Digest: Maverick McNealy (-150) over Max Homa (FanDuel) — The RickRunGood.com matchup predictor makes McNealy a favorite of over -270 in this one over a 50-round baseline.

Powers, Golf Digest: Max Homa (+115) over Maverick McNealy (FanDuel) — I’ve officially seen too much Max Homa hate, some of it from myself, too. Homa finally flashed with the irons at BMW and he can hopefully keep that mojo rolling in Napa, where he’s won twice.

Lack: Max Homa (-110) over Keith Mitchell (Heritage) — While Max Homa has unquestionably been struggling, this is a the perfect get right spot for the California native. Homa is a multiple time winner of this event, and the number one West Coast player in the entire field. After a surprise Presidents Cup selection, I expect Homa to be hyper-focused on dialing in his game before Royal Montreal. Keith Mitchell is a great driver of the ball, but Silverado should stifle his greatest weapon and force the 32-year-old to rely heavily on the strength of his putter. Particularly on this golf course, it’s time to buy the dip on Homa.

Matchup Results from the Tour Championship: Lack: 1 for 1 (An (-120) over Bhatia); Gdula: 1 for 1 (Pendrith (-120) over Kirk); Caddie: 0 for 1; Hennessey: 0 for 1; Powers: 0 for 1; Mayo: 0 for 1; Stewart: 0 for 1

Matchup Results from this season (Wins-Losses-Pushes): Lack 22-11-2 (up 8.44 units); Caddie: 20-14-0 (up 4.29 units); Gdula: 20-12-3 (up 5.53 units); Hennessey: 18-13-4 (up 3.7 units); Powers: 16-16-2 (down 0.34 units); Mayo: 17-17-1 (down 0.39 units); Stewart: 13-20-2 (down 7.96 units)

Procore Championship picks 2024: Top 10s  

Caddie: Luke Clanton (+260, FanDuel) — The kid is on the verge of becoming a full-blown star, and he certainly has the attention of everyone here. He seems to have threatened to win every time he tees it up, and that’ll probably be the case again this week.

Mayo : Tom Hoge (+400, FanDuel) — Hoge is a victim of his success on the odds board. J.J. Spaun did moderately well at alternate events and weaker fields to end the year, so he gets a big boost. Hoge leads all players in approach at the BMW Championship then gets blown away by Scheffler, Morikawa, etc. at East Lake and he’s well behind Spaun (and many others) on the board in Napa.

Gdula: Tom Hoge (+400, FanDuel) — Hoge rates out with top-five irons over the last 50 rounds, via datagolf, and he’s got great splits from within 150 yards. That’ll come in handy at a shorter course with smaller greens. Hoge finished T-12 here last year, as well.

Stewart: J.J. Spaun (+300, BetMGM) — West Coast native J.J. Spaun can compete on California courses. Tied 11th here last September, Spaun’s ball-striking ability fits the North Course. Ninth at the 3M and third at Wyndham, J.J. has been swinging well. He’s gaining over seven strokes against the field (on average) over his past five starts. I like Spaun’s approach game to make him a contender let alone a top-10 finisher in Napa.

Hennessey, Golf Digest: J.J. Spaun (+300, BetMGM) — Spaun is coming off two top-10 finishes in his last two starts—and now returns to his home state where he has a T-9 in 2021.

Powers, Golf Digest: Michael Thorbjornsen (+550, DraftKings) — Thorbjornsen is just a few months removed from a T-2 finish at the John Deere Classic, where he gained strokes across the board in all major categories before finishing the season with three straight missed cuts. I’m betting on that upside to show up again in the Fall opener in Napa, just 90 minutes from where he went to college at Stanford.

Lack: Brendon Todd (+350, DraftKings) — As one of the shortest players on tour, Brendon Todd breaks the mold of the modern PGA Tour pro. Yet for what he lacks in distance, he makes up for with elite wedge play and putting. As one of the shortest courses on tour, Silverado is one of the few venues that plays right into Todd’s hands, and it should not come as a surprise that he finished top 10 in his last two appearances here.

Top-10 results from the Tour Championship: Gdula: 1 for 1 (Russell Henley +180); Hennessey: 1 for 1 (S.J. Im +150); Powers: 1 for 1 (S.J. Im +150); Lack: 1 for 1 (S.J. Im +150); Everybody else: 0 for 1

Top-10 results from this season: Hennessey: 12 for 35 (up 67.85 units); Powers: 7 for 35 (down 5.1 units); Caddie: 7 for 34 (down 6.93 units); Mayo: 6 for 35 (down 7.5 units); Gdula: 6 for 35 (down 8.1 units); Stewart: 6 for 35 (down 10.42 units); Lack: 7 for 35 (down 12.05 units)

Fantasy Golf Lineup Picks for DraftKings (PGA DFS)

We have tons of great weekly PGA articles, DFS analysis, tools, and DFS advice . Be sure to read our other fantastic articles regarding this week's event.

High-Priced DraftKings DFS Players 

***There are three players priced above $10,000. Please remember that my DFS article is always a first look at the field. Opinions might shift as the week goes on, and I am more than happy to discuss anyone further on Twitter/X.

I thought Wyndham Clark was overly affected in various markets for two core reasons.

• Sahith Theegala's fantastic result at the Tour Championship helped propel the event's defending champion past Clark for any iteration of the board.
• Clark has shown a lack of upside at Silverado.

None of this is meant to be a deterrent away from the second-ranked player in my model when talking about Theegala. However, Clark's recent form and projected data for this week's venue should highlight a much different golfer than the one who took on this course before his career-changing season in 2023.

For reference sake, my model ranked Clark outside the top 25 that week in each of his past two starts at the property.

My Action Network article provides a detailed breakdown of why I like J.J. Spaun this week ,  but let's instead discuss Maverick McNealy for this piece since my model liked just about everything related to him this week (outside of his betting price).  

I want to note how savvy books have become in reducing totals around high-end options lacking past win equity. You don't have to look any further than Aaron Rai becoming a weekly sub 25/1 option in fields of this strength.

I wanted to find a way to get to McNealy in the outright market because of his ability to dominate at these easy-scoring tracks, but I thought books priced us out there.

Instead, I will take on my exposure to McNealy for DFS and understand that he will be a popular play this week.

$8,000 Range 

I didn't have a ton of intrigue in this section, although I will likely be overweight to Eric Cole, Chan Kim and Mac Meissner.

K.H. Lee, Patrick Fishburn and Rico Hoey were my first three DFS clicks on Monday.

Lee ranked fourth in my model for "Weighted Strokes Gained Total" and was the fourth-best player when adding pure distance and proximity from 0-150 yards into one category.

$6,000 Options to Consider

Favorite Play Each Section (Monday):

$10,000+ - Wyndham Clark $9,000+ - Maverick McNealy/J.J. Spaun $8,000+ - All Three options are about the same from the list above $7,000+ - K.H. Lee $6,000+ -
