Jacob Bridgeman has gained 6.7 strokes on the field, 2.7 of them on the greens. Jordan Smith's 5.7 leans most on approach play: 3.8. Max Homa's 4.7 leans most on the short game: 2.5. Of the four, putting carries over least from one round to the next, so a score built on it is the most likely to fade: 52% of Pierceson Coody's gain has come on the greens. Ricky Castillo has gained the most from tee to green, 4.6 strokes off the tee and on approach: the more repeatable half of the game.
