3Jack Golf's PGA Tour Rundown - Week 30

Brandt Snedeker wins the RBC Canadian Open:



Here's how the top-3 finishers ranked in the key performance metrics at the Canadian Open. This was based out of 120 players (click to enlarge):



Playing well at Glen Abbey meant playing well from the Safe Zone and Danger Zone. In Snedeker’s case, he drove it poorly and struck it from the Danger Zone poorly. However, he was brilliant from the Safe Zone and made up for his driving and Danger Zone deficiencies by out-putting and out-Short Gaming the other contenders.

Here is how my picks finished at the Canadian Open.

Matt Kuchar: 18/1 (t-2nd)
