LECOM Health Challenge Tips: Austin Cook

LECOM Health Challenge Tips: Austin Cook

Hugely promising young golfer who registered five top-25s from limited starts on the PGA Tour last season.

Austin Cook made some waves on the PGA Tour last season, coming through a series of Monday qualifiers to register five top-25s in just seven starts. Unfortunately he didn’t earn enough money to gain a card and was forced to drop down a level.


Having started the year with a T5 it looked as if he’d sail through the Web.com Tour but life is never that simple. The competition is fierce and it’s taken a while for Cook to find consistency.

In the last month the 24-year-old has started to hit his stride with finishes of 48-41-14-MC-6 and this week’s test looks ideal. Cook isn’t particularly long (65th in driving distance) but he is gun-barrel straight (4th in driving accuracy) and that should keep him out of trouble. 

A hugely talented young golfer, he will make his mark at some point this season. At 70/1 (Bet365) it could be this week.
