Genesis Open Tips: Kyle Stanley

Genesis Open Tips: Kyle Stanley

Leads the tour in total driving and will relish a tough test. On the verge of recapturing his best form.

Riviera is a strong test tee-to-green and there aren’t many better than Kyle Stanley at the moment. The 29-year-old is currently ranked 11th on tour in strokes gained tee-to-green and tops the total driving statistics.

The problem for Stanley has been getting the ball in the hole and we should be under no illusions that he’s a dodgy putter but recent signs are encouraging.


Stanley is 6/7 in cuts made this season with four top-25 finishes. His record at Riviera is 24-MC but’s he’s already a winner on tour and is getting back to that high level again.

Past champions like Bubba Watson, James Hahn and John Merrick are streaky putters at best and it’s possible to grind out a victory with elite ball-striking. Stanley fits into that category and in a tournament where single digits under par is competitive, he is a big price at 250/1 (Paddy Power) with 1/5 odds for a top-7 finish.
