Stricker is in top form and has started 2010 well after a brilliant 2009 where he has elevated himself to world no. 2. |
| |
|
|
He has won an impressive 4 of his last 15 starts including, his last stroke play event, the Northern Trust Open. |
| |
|
|
That win aside, he also has 2 other top 10's to his name this year. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
Stricker comes here fresh after a couple of weeks rest, unlike a large proportion of this talented field. |
| |
|
|
The Blue Monster course in Florida should suit the American down to a tee as it isn't by any means the toughest |
| |
on the tour and is certainly birdie friendly. |
| |
|
|
Stricker is 2nd on the tour this year for birdie average and scoring average. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
Stricker hasn't shot a round above par yet this year (12 rounds). |
| |
|
|
He also has phenomenal figures for greens in reg (14th on tour) and putting (21st). Both key stats to consistantly
|
| |
low scoring. |
| |
|
|
Stricker is no slouch on the Blue Monster (T6 & T13 last 2 years) and although this is a class field, Stricker is |
| |
certainly a man to have on your side and seems to be at the peak of his powers. I'm more than happy to be siding |
| |
with him at 15/1. |
