Wes Reynolds explained he is anchoring his outright card to players who grade inside the top-20 in the PGA-Tour definition of ball striking (total driving distance + accuracy plus GIR rank) rather than isolating distance or accuracy alone. He believes TPC Twin Cities rewards pure point-A-to-point-B golf: big greens make GIR data meaningful, while 27 water hazards punish any shot that is offline. Reynolds is also leaning on correlated-course form at PGA National, Deere Run, Detroit Golf Club, and TPC Louisiana—tracks that pair birdie-fest scoring with water lurking on most holes. His history at the 3M includes both heartbreak (Bryson losing to Wolff’s walk-off eagle) and big hits (Johnny Vegas outright last year), reinforcing his view that large outright prices can still win here if they sit high in ball-striking metrics on those comp layouts.
